Link to departmental result | Communities and officials have the tools to safeguard Canadians from natural hazards and explosives |
Link to department’s Program Inventory | Geoscience to Keep Canada Safe |
Purpose and objectives of transfer payment program | The installation of sensors in key-targeted areas will provide a basic earthquake early warning infrastructure and will permit monitoring of federally-critical infrastructure. Funding will be made through Grants & Contributions to provinces, territories and municipalities in areas of high seismic hazard in order to strengthen the robustness of the national earthquake early warning system. Contribution payments are non-repayable. |
Expected results | Earthquakes in urban areas present the greatest single-event risk in terms of potential for lives lost and economic impact for Canada. Current protection from earthquakes comes primarily from rigorous implementation of seismic provisions in the National Building Code. The next improvement in protection is to provide tens of seconds of warning for preventative action to protect critical infrastructure, stop trains and traffic, prepare response systems, and give warnings to the public to take shelter.

Using a third party delivery model, NRCan provides funding through contribution agreements to external funding organizations. These organizations take responsibility for delivering the internship funding to organizations that host the interns. This program supports the Minister’s commitment to assist in the development and promotion of Canadian scientific and technological capabilities, and to address labour shortages in STEM fields. The program also promotes diversity in the natural resources labour market by targeting participation by individuals in the designated employment equity groups (women, Indigenous Peoples, visible minorities, persons with disabilities). This program has non-repayable contributions. |
