Climate risk in Section 23, Calgary — flood, wildfire, earthquake & more
Section 23 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.
Flood
Flood hazard from Natural Resources Canada's Flood Susceptibility Map (FSM), area-weighted across the dissemination areas in this neighbourhood.
Wildfire
Composite of the National Burned Area Composite, Canadian National Fire Database, and the FBP fuel-flammability layer.
Earthquake
Seismic hazard expressed as 0.2-second spectral acceleration with a 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years (NBC 2020 Sa(0.2s)).
Landslide
Susceptibility derived from the PCLD v12 national landslide inventory, classified by movement type and severity.
Radon
Indoor radon exposure modelled from the Health Canada national radon survey, joined to dissemination areas through the health-region map.
Insurance implications
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.
