The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is developing a Regional Climate Resiliency Plan (RCRP) to better understand the risks of natural disasters and extreme weather events.
Residents, businesses and communities in the Peace River region are experiencing significant impacts from climate-related hazard events that are becoming more common and severe due to climate change.
Events like wildfires, flooding, heatwaves, drought and storms have caused major damage to property, infrastructure, crop and have forced people to evacuate from their homes.
We need your input to help us make the Regional Climate Resiliency Plan!

The RCRP will help to identify ways to improve regional resiliency (i.e., our ability to respond, prevent or adapt) to future climate-related hazards, and outline steps and resources to bring mitigation measures into action.
In addition to a series of public engagement events that occurred across the region from June 8 to June 11, a community survey is open now until July 30, 2024. The online survey is available at haveyoursay.prrd.bc.ca/rcrp and hard copies of the survey are available at the PRRD offices in Dawson Creek (1981 Alaska Avenue) and Fort St. John (9595 100 Street). If you need assistance with filling out the survey, please call (250) 784-3200.
If we can reach you, we can notify you.
