Announcement:
The Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) and the Canadian Risk and Hazards Network (CRHNet) are pleased to announce a new collaborative partnership focused on enhancing Canada’s capacity for disaster risk reduction and climate resilience.
This partnership aims to strengthen the integration of meteorological and oceanographic sciences with the broader disaster management community, recognizing the essential role of atmospheric, oceanic, and environmental sciences in addressing Canada’s growing vulnerabilities to both natural and human-induced hazards.
About CMOS
The Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) is the national society dedicated to advancing the atmospheric and oceanic sciences in Canada. With over 700 members, including meteorologists, climatologists, oceanographers, and related scientists, CMOS strives to foster scientific progress and apply it to public policy and governance. Their mission is to enhance public understanding of weather, climate, and environmental issues, aiming for a sustainable and equitable future.
About CRHNet
The Canadian Risk and Hazards Network (CRHNet) is a not-for-profit organization established in 2003, focused on promoting disaster risk reduction and strengthening emergency management across Canada. CRHNet brings together researchers, academics, and practitioners to share knowledge and best practices to reduce disaster vulnerability and build resilient communities. Its mission is to foster collaboration, innovation, and capacity building in disaster risk management through cross-sector partnerships.
What This Partnership Means
This strategic collaboration will facilitate knowledge exchange, cross-disciplinary research, and the development of innovative solutions that integrate weather, climate, and environmental sciences into emergency management practices. Both organizations are committed to advancing preparedness and resiliency, creating a safer and more resilient Canada by addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change and disaster risks.
We look forward to the shared opportunities this partnership will bring, including collaborative research, educational efforts, and joint events that will serve to improve both preparedness and response to catastrophic events across the country.
Together, CMOS and CRHNet are poised to make a meaningful impact on Canada’s disaster risk reduction landscape, drawing on the collective expertise of our members and stakeholders.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates and initiatives as we work together to create a more resilient future for all Canadians.
