Reading this page

Thompson's hazard profile records flood risk as Pending provincial data, wildfire risk as Pending provincial data, and earthquake hazard as Low. Natural Resources Canada's seismic model puts peak ground acceleration at 0.014g (a 5% probability of exceedance in 50 years).

Earthquake is Thompson's highest recorded hazard category. Home insurance premium benchmarks are not yet published for this location. Flood and wildfire ratings are marked pending until provincial open data becomes available.

Thompson's composite risk score of 1 compares to the Manitoba average of 1 across 6 tracked municipalities.

Review your home insurance policy for hazard-specific exclusions and keep a household emergency kit regardless of your composite grade. Even low-scoring areas can face localized events outside the datasets tracked here.

How to read this

Flood, wildfire, and earthquake are separate public layers. Seismic PGA comes from NRCan's national hazard model used with the National Building Code (commonly 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years). Wildfire context draws on CWFIS fire weather and hotspots; flood maps remain largely provincial and municipal.

Read the three risk badges first, then open the layer that matters most for your property: floodplain proximity for low ground and river corridors, wildfire for tree line and Wildland-Urban Interface lots, earthquake for seismic design and older unreinforced stock. Component tiers tell you whether a reading is national-model backed or still pending / regional.

The composite grade is a browsing aid, not a parcel certificate, insurance quote, or evacuation order. Overland flood and earthquake coverage on home policies are often optional endorsements. For a specific address, use municipal flood-plain maps, insurer models, and current alerts. Method detail: methodology.
