Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines flood hazard in Lillooet River valley in the southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. My research is multi-disciplinary: I used earth science methods to estimate pre-historical flood frequency and sediment yield, as well social science theory to study the process of knowledge transfer between the scientific community and local stakeholders. The results from this thesis contribute to and complement previous earth science and natural hazard studies in Lillooet River valley, while furthermore providing knowledge for river and floodplain management. The results also shed a light on the communication of scientific knowledge to local emergency managers and the use of such information at the local level.My thesis comprises three studies. First, I compiled a varve chronology spanning 825 years (AD 1179-2004) from annually layered sediments (varves) recovered from Lillooet Lake. I compared twentieth-century discharge records of Lillooet River to the contemporary part of the varve chronology to determine the relation between river discharge and varve thickness. Based on this relation, I examined the entire 825-year varve chronology for the floods it might record. Second, I made annual sediment yield estimates for the period AD 1629-1997 and compared them to estimates derived from Lillooet Lake cores by previous researchers. I compared times of anomalously high sediment yield to ages of large landslides and floods in the watershed, and to times of marked glacier advance and retreat in order to understand controls on sediment delivery. I assessed the persistence of high sediment input episodes using statistical methods. Third, I assessed the history and current flood management policy landscape at the federal, provincial, and local levels. In the context of the transfer of flood management responsibility from the British Columbia Government to municipalities in 2003, I interviewed local floodplain and emergency managers on their use of scientific knowledge in preparing for flooding in Lillooet River valley.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local governments have the primary responsibility for flood protection & response. The provincial government acts in support of local government. In unincorporated communities, or where the level of response is beyond the capability of local communities, the provincial government will co- ordinate the response. This document describes the methodology for mounting and co-ordinating the provincial government's response to a flood event. It includes information on the emergency response structure, regional boundaries, flood management phases (planning, preparedness, response, recovery), graduated response, local & regional flooding, the roles & responsibilities of various government agencies, co-ordination instructions, finance & administration, and public information.

Book excerpt: Increases in coastal flooding from climate change related sea level rise and increased rainfall will stress local government's resources. While local governments are planning for expected climate change effects through the use of adaptation and flood management tools, a number of barriers limit long-term adaptation planning. This study examines which flood management tools are currently used in four municipalities in the Lower Mainland: the City of Vancouver, Delta, Richmond and Surrey. The study then presents an analysis of potential policy options to address the barriers to further implementation of flood management and adaptation tools. A recommendation of this research includes greater regional and provincial involvement in flood management to support adaptation in the Lower Mainland.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth analysis of British Columbia's flood hazard management policy regime with respect to sea level rise(SLR) and associated coastal hazards. While climate change effects may not create new coastal hazards, they will exacerbate existing coastal flooding and erosion problems at many locations, both in areas where coastal flooding is currently being experienced or in low lying areas that may become exposed in the future. For the purposes of this analysis, coastal hazards refer to impacts on the coasts of B.C. including flood inundation, storms (increased frequency and intensity) and changes to sedimentation patterns (erosion). The focus of this analysis is the extent to which existing flood policy enables or inhibits adaptation to SLR and associated climate change impacts. The goal is to help inform the development of a more robust and resilient flood policy network that reduces vulnerability and risk associated with climate change.

Book excerpt: Vancouver is heralded around the world as a model for sustainable development. In Planning on the Edge, nationally and internationally renowned planning scholars, activists, and Indigenous leaders assess whether this reputation is warranted. While recognizing the many successes of the “Vancouverism” model, the contributors acknowledge that the forces of globalization and speculative property development have increased social inequality and housing insecurity since the 1980s in the city and the region. By evaluating policies at the local, provincial, and federal levels and taking reconciliation with Indigenous peoples into account, Planning on the Edge highlights the kinds of policies and practices needed to reorient Vancouver’s development trajectory along a more environmentally sound and equitable path.
