Understanding Risk & Resilience
The North Shore is susceptible to a wide range of hazards and risks, including earthquakes, wildfires, landslides, flooding, sea level rise and extreme weather events, in addition to human–induced hazards such as industrial accidents.
Understanding the risks these hazards pose will help people and communities better prepare for, understand, and reduce disaster and climate risks, and ultimately, enhance the resilience of the North Shore.

After An Emergency
North Shore Evacuation Guide
Some emergencies — such as a fire, or hazardous materials release — may make staying in your home dangerous. In such cases, it may be safer for you to evacuate the area and go to family or friends, or an emergency reception centre.
NSEM has created the North Shore Evacuation Guide to help residents understand:
- What steps to take before and during an evacuation,
- The difference between an Evacuation Alert verses an Evacuation Order and
- how to make an evacuation plan.
