Federal, provincial and territorial emergency management ministers met recently to prepare for Canada’s 2026 wildfire and flood season, reinforcing the need for coordinated readiness as severe weather risks grow. The ministers noted that 2025 was Canada’s second-worst wildfire season by area burned, with more than 6,100 fires, 8.92 million hectares affected and 76,000 people evacuated. For property owners and businesses, the message is practical; preparation, fast response and professional restoration support are essential when disaster strikes.
