Description (French)
La municipalité du district de Guysborough (MODG) possède un vaste littoral avec de nombreuses communautés disséminées sur les rives de l'océan Atlantique. Les changements climatiques ont commencé à changer la vie des habitants de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Ce projet de planification des mesures d'atténuation permettra au MODG de prendre des décisions prospectives concernant la mise en place d'infrastructures, le développement économique, le logement, la planification et le développement, la gestion des urgences, etc. Le but est d'assurer une planification et une prise de décisions rationnelles afin d'éviter autant de pertes que possible y compris la vie, la propriété et la valeur monétaire. Tirer partiellement de ce que le MODG a appris des exercices d'évaluation des risques et de la cartographie des inondations et en faire un plan pour mieux le positionner pour une prise de décision précise, prospective et informée afin d'atténuer les défis dans un avenir lointain et proche.

Program Name (French)
Programme national d'atténuation des catastrophes (PNAC)
Program Purpose
The NDMP addresses rising flood risks and costs, and builds the foundation for informed mitigation investments that could reduce, or even negate, the effects of flood events. The NDMP fills a critical gap in Canada's ability to effectively mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from, flood-related events by building a body of knowledge on flood risks in Canada, and investing in foundational flood mitigation activities.
Program Purpose (French)
Le PNAC permet d’aborder les risques d'inondations et les coûts qui en découlent, tous deux en hausse, en plus de créer les bases menant à des investissements éclairés en matière d'atténuation qui pourraient réduire ou neutraliser les effets des inondations. Le PNAC comble une lacune quant à la capacité du Canada à assurer une atténuation, une préparation, une intervention et un rétablissement efficaces vis-à-vis les inondations, et ce, en constituant un ensemble de connaissances sur les risques d'inondations au Canada, ainsi qu'en investissant dans les activités fondamentales d'atténuation des inondations.
