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.

传统上，应急管理专注于为特定地理位置内的单一事件做准备。 Covid-19的大流行的出现以及内乱和季节性自然灾害的事件，迫使紧急情况经理采用新方法来应对多个同时发生的事件。虽然Covid-19的大流行需要新的方法来进行季节性自然危害事件期间的社区疏散和搬迁，但它加强了灾害风险与社会经济和文化条件的互动。社区脆弱性传播的趋势强调了许多国家（包括加拿大）地区之间和地区之间严重的社会不平等现象。此外，社区在多大程度上或无法应付的程度表明，风险，脆弱性和韧性不是预定义的条件，而是由暴露于不同危害组合的社区所面临的许多因素相交的结构的结构。目前，加拿大没有单一的工具可以为计划人员和应急管理人员提供对自然，社会和建筑环境中危害和风险的综合可视化。该指数将向紧急经理和公共政策决策者展示合作方法对减少可持续灾害风险的重要性，并结合了来自自然，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。
