Hazard risk in Kitchenuhmaykoosib Aaki 84 is higher than in 97% of Canadian towns
Wildfire is a real hazard for Kitchenuhmaykoosib Aaki 84: 16% of the land within 25 km has burned since 1986, 0.43% a year, in the high band. Earthquakes matter little: NRCan’s model puts building losses at $0.004 a year per $1,000 of value, against $0.030 for the typical town. Radon is higher than usual: 12% of tested homes in the survey area topped the guideline, against 6.6% for the typical town. Hazard risk gives Kitchenuhmaykoosib Aaki 84 a grade of D−; its wildfire band pulls it down.

The inventory’s own caution (NRCan): “The Canada Flood Map (CFM) does not include every flood hazard map in Canada and may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. It should not be relied upon as the official source of flood mapping information. Furthermore, if a map appears to be missing, this does not necessarily mean that the area has never been mapped. For the official version of a map, updated information, or confirmation of applicable regulations, please contact the local authority responsible for flood mapping.”

Get ready for what Kitchenuhmaykoosib Aaki 84 faces
What to do about the hazards Kitchenuhmaykoosib Aaki 84 faces, and what to ask before you buy.
- Clear needles and wood nearby.
- Keep a grab-and-go bag ready.
- In smoke, stay in; filter air.
- Test for three months in winter.
- Over 200 Bq/m³: fix it.
- Kits are cheap; pros test too.
- Never drive through floodwater.
- Move papers and medicines upstairs.
- Ask whether your street is mapped.
- Has it had a radon test?
- Ask the municipality for flood maps.
- How close is the forest edge?
- Are flood and wildfire insured?
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Radon is a survey. The radon share comes from about 14,000 long-term home tests in 2009–2011, pooled for now by the 2007 health region Kitchenuhmaykoosib Aaki 84 sits in.
- Flood studies aren’t flood zones. A study’s area can be a whole watershed or province, so being on the inventory says a map exists, not that a home in Kitchenuhmaykoosib Aaki 84 floods.
- Wildfire counts one way. Wildfire is read from the national burned-area record around Kitchenuhmaykoosib Aaki 84’s homes since 1986, a history of fire that may lower Risk but never raises it.
- Earthquakes are modelled. NRCan models what earthquakes would cost buildings each year on average, subdivision by subdivision; Kitchenuhmaykoosib Aaki 84’s figure is its subdivision’s.
