The Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation (Intact Centre) is focused on four key areas that will reduce climate change and extreme weather risk for home owners, governments and businesses.
The Home Flood Protection Program
A residential flood risk reduction education program that was launched by the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation at the University of Waterloo in 2016. The goals of the Home Flood Protection Program are to help residents take action to reduce their flood risk and reduce damage in the event of a flood.
Home Flood Risk Assessment Training Course
In addition to educating homeowners about how to reduce their flood risk, the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation has led the development of training programs for a variety of stakeholders, including the Canadian Red Cross, Registered Insurance Brokers, Home Inspectors, Real Estate Agents and more. The Intact Centre also offers a one hour flood protection seminar for insurance and mortgage brokers, realtors and not-for-profits.
