Emergency management has traditionally focused on preparing for single incidents within specific geographies. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside incidents of civil unrest and seasonal natural disasters, has forced emergency managers to adopt new approaches for responding to multiple, concurrent events. While the COVID-19 pandemic required new methods for community evacuation and relocation during seasonal natural hazard events, it reinforced that disaster risk is strongly interwoven with socio-economic and cultural conditions. Trends of community vulnerability to contagion have highlighted serious social inequalities between and within regions of many countries, including in Canada. Furthermore, the extent to which communities have or have not been able to cope demonstrates that risk, vulnerability, and resilience are not predefined conditions, but rather are constructs of the intersections of many factors faced by communities exposed to combinations of different hazards. There is currently no single tool in Canada that provides planners and emergency managers with an integrated visualization of hazards and risks across the natural, social, and built environments.CHaRIS - The Canadian Hazard and Risk Information System - will provide an innovative map-based statistical analysis tool to help assess, visualize, and communicate different levels of community exposure and vulnerability to hazards and risk in Canada. This index will demonstrate to emergency managers and public policy decision-makers the importance of a cooperative approach to sustainable disaster risk reduction, incorporating real-time and archival data from the natural, social, and built environments, and improving understanding of the risks faced by communities.

应急管理传统上侧重于为特定地理区域内的单一事件做准备。COVID-19疫情的出现，加上内乱和季节性自然灾害事件，迫使应急管理人员采取新的方法来应对多个并发事件。虽然COVID-19疫情需要在季节性自然灾害事件期间采用新的社区疏散和搬迁方法，但它强调了灾害风险与社会经济和文化条件密切相关。社区易受传染的趋势突出表明，包括加拿大在内的许多国家的区域之间和区域内部存在严重的社会不平等。此外，社区能够或不能科普的程度表明，风险、脆弱性和复原力不是预先确定的条件，而是暴露于不同灾害组合的社区所面临的许多因素交叉的结构。目前在加拿大还没有一个单一的工具，为规划者和应急管理人员提供一个综合的可视化的危害和风险在自然，社会，和builtedenvironment.CHaRIS -加拿大危害和风险信息系统-将提供一个创新的基于地图的统计分析工具，以帮助评估，可视化，并传达不同层次的社区暴露和脆弱性的危害和风险在加拿大。该指数将向应急管理人员和公共政策决策者展示合作方法对可持续减少灾害风险的重要性，纳入来自自然，社会和建筑环境的实时和档案数据，并提高对社区面临的风险的了解。
