Project locations are geocoded based on the geographic representation of the project proponent location. Locations are purely administrative and do not represent the location of any result or deliverable of a project. Locations may not represent the exact location of a community, Nation, Band or government. 

Where a project is regional and includes multiple applicants in a region, only the lead applicant will be listed as the proponent.

**Definitions:**

- **Project Value** represents the amount of funds approved for in-progress projects. Where a project is complete, the total value represents the actual amount of funds spent. There may be additional proponent contributions to projects that are not included here due to data availability.

- **Program Area** is the program through which the project was funded:

    - **ARDM** the Adaptation, Resilience and Disaster Mitigation (ARDM) program is a sub-stream under the Investing in Canada’s Infrastructure Program. This program is funded in part by the Government of Canada.

    - **Grants** are individual projects that have been funded through the Province of BC.

    - **NDMP** the National Disaster Mitigation Program is a federal provincial cost-share program to address rising flood risks and costs, and builds the foundation for informed mitigation investments that could reduce, or even negate, the effects of flood events. This program is funded in part by the Government of Canada.

- **Deliverable** is the primary project output. Where the project has more than one deliverable, the main output has been selected.

- **ESS** stands for Emergency Support Services.
