Had to shrink the candles on our now "hotly anticipated" year-in-review graphic. That's because ebbwater turns 12 today. The density of lit candles is inching towards being its own hazard!

We are continuing to learn and unlearn as we prep for our teenage years. Happy Birthday to us ;)

« The most affordable home is one you don’t have to rebuild. ». Such a good framing of the nexus of natural hazards and the housing crisis. Let’s do something about it!

Ebbwater is pleased to have played a small role in this work.

Canada has just released a long-awaited update to Disaster Financial Assistance (#DFAA). Moving slowly in the right direction, but we still don't have all the information. www.linkedin.com/posts/ebbwat...

It's mandate letter day in BC!!! Here's our hot take: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... #DRR #BCPoli

In this piece with Radio-Canada, principal @tamsinlyle.bsky.social spoke about the importance of investments in watershed restoration and protection as something "we" have control over and that will reduce flood hazard severity and therefore flood damages.

Natural ecosystems are the natural buffer to #floods. Let's protect what we have, and restore what we don't. #DRR #floodriskreduction

Semá:th Xhosta, drained 100 years ago, has created one of the wickedest problems in #floodriskreduction that we know of. A truly fascinating and potentially impactful collaborative project that we are proud to be working on.

#Tsunamis are one of many natural hazards that are a concern on the west coast of Canada. Today, #tsunamiawarenessday, is a great time to learn more about them. #UnderstandingRisk is the first step to preparing for it. The US has some good resources: coast.noaa.gov/gallery/vide...

We are super excited to share that we are a bona fide Certified B Corp! Ebbwater has always been purpose first, but now others think we are too. Looking forward to engaging with the #bcorp community.

With the #bcelection soon upon us - we've written our now expected and anticipated round up of party platforms through the lens of disaster and climate adaptation. It's not a great news story: www.linkedin.com/posts/ebbwat...

We’re not just #flood aware, we walk the talk of #earthquake preparation too. International #Shakeout⁦ Day. #shakeoutbc www.shakeout.org

Our team went well into the weeds to piece together a patchwork of inconsistent and incomplete hazard maps to give Metro Vancouver a picture of where #floods, #wildfires, and #earthquakes might overlap.

It's #BCBudget Day!

"Will the budget support meaningful disaster risk reduction (so that all that amazing science can happen and have purpose)?"

Mmmm...our take on it is "maybe, if you squint hard and read between the lines with rose-coloured glasses?". #bcpoli

Did you read the Throne Speech? Don't despair, here's a #flood googles recap. Flood, #climate, and #disaster are all on the wane in the minds of the Premier's office, but still holding on. Focus is on past actions as opposed to future ones. Looking to the #bcbudget to see how this plays out. #bcpoli
