Many communities include natural slopes and ravines that enhance your property’s locale. However, some terrain can be susceptible to landslides if the slope becomes weak and unstable. Over time, climate change will enhance local extreme weather conditions increasing the frequency and severity of natural hazard events, if unmitigated.
Building from recent efforts to better understand flood hazards, this slope hazard study will focus on identifying and prioritizing the risk of slope hazards in the region's seven electoral areas.
The outcomes will include maps showing the hazard areas and risk priority to guide land use planning and design. This includes requirements for property-level geotechnical evaluation to ensure the intended use can be carried out safely.
While the risk of slope failure and landslides is relatively low, homeowners are advised to watch for signs that may compromise a slope’s strength and structure over time. More information on signs under FAQs.
To report landslide indicators contact your local fire, police or public works department or the 24-hour provincial toll-free number at 1-800-663-3456.
