Climate risk in 01K, Calgary — flood, wildfire, earthquake & more

01K shows moderate overall climate risk, with the largest single contribution from flood.

Composite climate score

The composite blends flood, wildfire, earthquake, landslide, and radon hazards using national hazard-blend weights. Score follows the same 0–100 framing as every other lens — higher = lower aggregate hazard.

Climate score
66/ 100
Higher = lower hazard
Risk percentile
34/ 100
Higher = more exposure

Flood

Flood hazard from Natural Resources Canada's Flood Susceptibility Map (FSM), area-weighted across the dissemination areas in this neighbourhood.

Flood score
40/ 100
Higher = lower hazard
Flood risk
60/ 100
Higher = more exposure
Source: NRCan FSM (2024).

Wildfire

Composite of the National Burned Area Composite, Canadian National Fire Database, and the FBP fuel-flammability layer.

Wildfire score
68/ 100
Higher = lower hazard
Wildfire risk
32/ 100
Higher = more exposure
Source: NBAC + CNFDB + FBP fuel (2024).

Earthquake

Seismic hazard expressed as 0.2-second spectral acceleration with a 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years (NBC 2020 Sa(0.2s)).

Earthquake score
72/ 100
Higher = lower hazard
Earthquake risk
28/ 100
Higher = more exposure
Source: NRCan / NBC 2020.

Landslide

Susceptibility derived from the PCLD v12 national landslide inventory, classified by movement type and severity.

Landslide score
100/ 100
Higher = lower hazard
Landslide risk
0/ 100
Higher = more exposure
Source: NRCan PCLD v12.

Radon

Indoor radon exposure modelled from the Health Canada national radon survey, joined to dissemination areas through the health-region map.

Radon score
87/ 100
Higher = lower hazard
Radon risk
13/ 100
Higher = more exposure
Source: Health Canada radon survey.

Insurance implications

The data suggests flood is the dominant hazard exposure for 01K. Insurers in Canada are increasingly pricing flood risk separately from base premiums; ask your broker how this neighbourhood is rated.

PickYourPlace does not quote policies. The data shown here is the same national hazard layer used by re-insurers — flood from NRCan FSM, wildfire from NBAC + CNFDB + FBP fuel, earthquake from NBC 2020 Sa(0.2s), landslide from PCLD v12, radon from the Health Canada national survey.
