2025 Multi-Hazard Risk and Resilience Workshop
2025 CSSL-CMRR-WindEEE Multi-hazard Risk and Resilience Workshop
Natural hazards and the growing impacts of climate change are intensifying the risks faced by communities in Canada and around the world. Extreme weather events, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, and coastal storms continue to cause fatalities, economic losses, and infrastructure damage valued at billions of dollars annually. While many studies have been conducted to understand these hazards, there is still much to learn about how multiple hazards interact, how risks evolve under a changing climate, and how best to mitigate these risks. Addressing these challenges requires a collective effort: industry, government, and academic practitioners must work hand in hand to advance knowledge and develop solutions that lead to safer, more resilient communities.
The 2025 CSSL–CMRR Multi-hazard Risk and Resilience Workshop brings together researchers, students, practitioners, and community stakeholders to advance understanding and collaboration in managing multi-hazard risks. Co-hosted by the Canada Severe Storms Laboratory (CSSL), the Centre for Multi-hazard Risk and Resilience (CMRR), and the Wind Engineering, Energy and Environment (WindEEE), the workshop provides a platform for sharing innovative research, best practices, and practical solutions to enhance community resilience in the face of natural hazards.
The workshop will be conducted in a hybrid format, enabling both in-person and virtual participation. Students are especially encouraged to present their work, with opportunities to showcase their research alongside established experts. To recognize outstanding contributions, prizes will be awarded to the best student presenters: first place ($300) and two runner-up awards ($150 each).
Participants will engage in technical sessions featuring expert presentations, a dedicated student session, and interactive discussions designed to foster collaboration, professional development, and knowledge exchange across disciplines. The workshop provides a collaborative environment to strengthen partnerships and inspire actionable research toward safer, more resilient, and sustainable communities.
