Emergency management initiatives
Resilience hubs for UBC campus communities
As part of Campus as a Living Lab and aligned with the Campus Vision 2050 Plan, the Resilience hubs for UBC campus communities project aims to enhance UBC Vancouver’s resilience to climate-related emergencies. The initiative will:
- Develop a Resilience Hub Framework to strengthen community connections and provide localized support during emergencies.
- Create a disaster risk reduction roadmap to guide and improve UBC’s operational response to climate emergencies.
This forward-looking project is a key step toward building a more connected, prepared, and climate-resilient campus community.
