Dan Henstra and Gordon McBean

Canadian Public Policy, 2005, vol. 31, issue 3, 303-318

Abstract: In light of rising disaster losses in recent years and predictions of a more hazardous natural environment in the future, many countries around the world are revising their policies for disaster management to incorporate a stronger emphasis on disaster mitigation and risk reduction. In this paper, we argue that Canada has not sufficientl y integrated mitigation into disaster management and we discuss several barriers that impede progress in this area.
