Communities

Visualize and communicate risk.
Prioritize mitigations.
Coordinate emergency response.

Earth sciences play a critical role in reducing risk from natural hazards and climate impacts.
Equipping municipalities, regional districts, and First Nations with the tools to map hazards, collect field data, and visualize risk for planning, engagement, and emergency readiness. With clear, accessible maps and data, communities can better communicate risks, prioritize mitigations, and coordinate response.
COMMON CHALLENGES
Hazard maps, asset inventories, and monitoring data scattered across disconnected systems.
Limited capacity to collect and maintain local data for development regulation and planning.
Delays in decision making caused by misalignment and difficulty communicating technical content clearly.
Increased exposure to climate volatility with more frequent and extreme events.​
Cambio™ provides measurability for program effectiveness and operational efficiency
Are you focused on the highest-risk areas for mitigation and monitoring?
Are you communicating hazard risks clearly to residents and council?
Can you support development requests or funding requests with defensible, visual evidence?
Do you have the tools to coordinate effectively with other agencies?
What happens to the knowledge over time as your personnel turn over?

We take away the guesswork
