Montreal Climate Vulnerability Map
How to use this tool
Assess climate vulnerability for any Montreal neighbourhood across four risk categories: heat, rain flooding, drought, and riverine flooding. Each neighbourhood receives a risk score based on infrastructure, vegetation cover, population vulnerability, and historical event data. Compare neighbourhoods side by side to understand relative risk levels.
Why it matters
Climate change is intensifying weather extremes in Montreal: hotter summers, heavier rainstorms, and longer dry spells. Understanding your neighbourhood's specific vulnerabilities helps you make smarter landscaping investments. Properties in flood-prone areas benefit from rain gardens, permeable pavers, and French drains. Heat-vulnerable zones need shade trees and reflective surfaces. Drought-prone areas should prioritize native, low-water plantings. This data helps homeowners plan landscaping that protects their property while building climate resilience.
