CatIQ Connect brings Industry, Academia, and Government together to discuss Canadian Natural and Human-Made Catastrophes.

CatIQ Connect is a content-driven discussion to foster collaboration before, during, and after catastrophic events.

CatIQ Connect provides a detailed overview of catastrophes, discusses strategies in catastrophe management, and explores sector perspectives. Overall themes are preparedness and resiliency, available tools, and impacted stakeholders and policymakers working together for the greater good of all Canadians.
