The communities of the SLRD are located within a wild and beautiful environment, and a number of natural hazards exist as part of this environment. The SLRD has completed a number of hazard and risk assessment studies where an elevated level of potential risk has been assessed. These studies were completed with the assistance of provincial and federal funding.

All those in the SLRD should familiarize themselves with hazards in the areas where they live, work and recreate.
