We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto
• There are natural hazards and elements at risk on the landscape.
• Land use activity can affect hazards and hazard levels.
• We need to understand each situation to make informed decisions.

What do we do?• Think about water across the province, TSA, or
operating area using a two-step risk-based approach.
• Risk in simple terms is:– The likelihood of something bad happening to
something you’re worried about….or should be worried about.

The steps– Step 1 – in house review of potential risk
associated with existing or planned activities based on known information and experience.
– Step 2 – more detailed assessment and planning where there is: • a suspected land use contribution to current risk levels,
– legacy items like old roads
• an incremental effect is expected as a result of planned activities, or • confidence is low.

Key questions in a risk-based approach1. What elements are at risk on the landscape
and where are they?2. What can affect them from a hydrogeomorphic
or natural hazard perspective.3. What are the watershed controls or triggers
associated with those hazards.4. What effect has land-use activity had on those
triggers and will future land-use activity affect that situation?
5. What can we do about it?
