Slope Hazard Study

LATEST NEWS: The RDN's Slope Hazard Study is now complete. Read the full report here, or review other helpful resources in our Document Library. Please note: this project page is no longer being updated.

Project Background

Many communities include natural slopes and ravines that enhance your property’s locale. However, some terrain can be susceptible to landslides if the slope becomes weak and unstable. Over time, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events is expected to increase with climate change. Increased storms, flooding, and drought cycles can thereby increase the severity of natural hazard events, if unmitigated.

Building from recent efforts to better understand flood hazards, the RDN conducted a Slope Hazard Study to assess the risk priority and likelihood of hazard occurrence in the slope hazard areas identified throughout the seven electoral areas of the RDN.

The outcome of this study includes maps showing the hazard areas, risk priority, and likelihood of hazard occurrence to guide land use planning, design, and decision making. This includes requirements for property-level geotechnical evaluation to ensure the intended use can be carried out safely.

While the risk of slope failure and landslides is relatively low, homeowners are advised to watch for signs that may compromise a slope’s strength and structure over time. More information on signs under FAQs

To report landslide indicators, contact your local fire, police or public works department or the 24-hour provincial toll-free number at 1-800-663-3456.
