Whether it’s wildfires and extreme heat here in British Columbia, or floods, droughts, storms, and other climate-related emergencies in the countries we once called home, the impacts are becoming harder to ignore.
For newcomers, understanding how to prepare for these challenges in a new environment can make a real difference.
That’s why ISSofBC, with support from Vancouver Coastal Health, created our free Climate Readiness for Newcomers guides. Available in multiple languages, these practical resources ensure newcomers learn how to stay safe, prepared, and connected in their communities.
The guides cover topics including:
🌡️ Heat wave safety
🔥 Emergency preparedness
💧 Droughts and water conservation
♻️ Recycling and composting
🚌 Sustainable transportation
🌱 Gardening and green living
🏞️ Enjoying BC’s outdoors responsibly.
As climate impacts become more common, access to clear, accessible information is more important than ever.
