Greg Oulahen joined ICLR as a Research Associate in May 2008 upon completion of graduate studies in geography at the University of Waterloo. Greg’s research has concentrated on hazard mitigation through land use planning, and includes a detailed investigation of the role of citizen participation in planning for flood reduction in Peterborough, Ontario. His current research is focused on advancing hazard mitigation and emergency preparedness through public policy, identifying options to support municipal infrastructure investments that appropriately address the risk of climate change, and assessing actions required to make flood insurable for Canadian homeowners. In addition to his academic background, Greg also brings varied experiences gained from working in municipal planning departments and rebuilding homes on the Gulf coast after Hurricane Katrina.
