Event Details

Spatial and environmental data collection and dissemination are critical for flood preparedness, mitigation, and response. Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping Program (FHIMP) partners with provinces and territories to complete engineered flood hazard maps for higher-risk areas across the country, and will make both data and derivatives publicly accessible. FHIMP’s newly established Indigenous Engagement team is developing rights-based procedures to ensure respectful engagement when data collection occurs on Indigenous lands and the timely delivery of data and flood hazard maps to those communities following the principles of OCAP®. This presentation aims introduce the FHIMP and look at the Indigenous Engagement team’s work, with a focus on access to GeoBase’s spatial flood data and the use of geospatial technology such as a data cube to support the team’s rights-based approach to engagement.
