This database provides a regional picture of risk reduction and resilience initiatives across the Mainland Coast Salish Area, allowing users to explore projects, identify trends, and better understand where work has been undertaken and where additional attention may be needed. 

​

Why it Matters?​

Communities across the Mainland Coast Salish Area are facing increasing risks from flooding, wildfire, extreme weather, sea level rise, and other climate-related hazards. At the same time, significant investments have been made in projects that reduce risk, restore ecosystems, improve emergency preparedness, and strengthen community resilience. Yet information about these efforts is often dispersed across organizations, jurisdictions, and funding programs.

​

The Mainland Coast Salish Area Risk-Related Projects Database helps bring this information together in one accessible location. By making past and ongoing projects visible, the database supports knowledge sharing, identifies opportunities for collaboration, highlights gaps and priorities, and helps communities build on existing work rather than starting from scratch.

​

The database also recognizes that resilient communities depend on resilient ecosystems. By bringing together information on both built and natural infrastructure, it supports more integrated approaches to risk reduction, climate adaptation, and long-term community well-being. As climate impacts continue to intensify, tools that improve coordination, learning, and strategic investment will be increasingly important for protecting people, ecosystems, and the places they depend on.
