(\"Ebbwater\"), is pleased to announce the signing of a contract with Natural Resources Canada (\"NRCan\") to produce a National Flood Hazard Data Layer. This project will see the development of an inventory and common schema to present all authoritative Canadian flood hazard data, as outlined in NRCan's public request for proposals. \nAs leaders in Canadian flood management, Ebbwater will head up the data inventory, collection and stakeholder engagement phases of the project, while Minerva will leverage their \"knowledge engineering\" approach using their revolutionary SOLACE workflow to transform and deliver the flood maps in a standardized data layer. SOLACE is Minerva's consulting and software service that unites disparate data from multiple projects under a single standard. \nUnder the Emergency Management Strategy for Canada, NRCan carries out activities that advance guidance, information sharing, and methods in flood mapping to support the development of a flood risk management regime in Canada. This project represents a crucial first step toward the federal government's initiative to inform a national risk profile for overland flooding, by assembling and harmonizing the current Canadian flood hazard data inventory. The compilation of this information will also address a critical knowledge gap in state of flood mapping in Canada and directly benefit the Government's science-based policy and decision-making framework.\n\"With the impact of climate change, the magnitude and frequency of floods in Canada is increasing, with deep costs to the Canadian economy. The Government of Canada is committed to working with the pr...
