Risk Mitigation Strategies for Tornadoes in the Context of Climate Change and Development
- States that approaches to mitigating impacts from natural hazards require consideration of uncertainty and risk
- States that when the impacts of a natural hazard can be particularly devastating it is appropriate to undertake stronger mitigative-adaptive actions
- Finds that climate change has added an increased uncertainty to disaster risk management
- Argues on the basis of risk analysis that—regardless of the limited knowledge for changes in the tornado hazard in Canada—it is appropriate for Canadian disaster-management strategies to be altered to account for greater threat of tornado impacts in the future
