This project examines recent risk assessments undertaken for local BC governments. The research anticipates upcoming Emergency and Disaster Management Act (EDMA) regulations expected in late 2025, which will enforce new local government risk assessment requirements. The analysis explores the number of local governments that may need to undertake new or supplementary risk assessments, the capacity of the private sector to provide support, and the potential costs associated with this work.
