HomeRL

The Housing, Mobility, and Engagement Research Lab (HOME-RL) at the University of New Brunswick is conducting a survey to understand people’s experiences with housing displacement, damage, evacuation, or loss in natural disasters or extreme weather in Atlantic Canada.

Dr. Julia Woodhall-Melnik, Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Resilient Communities, leads the study.

“We are looking to speak with folks who have experienced some kind of housing damage or evacuation, housing loss, or evacuation with no damage related to extreme weather events or climate change.”

She says the goal is to ensure that disaster response policies are shaped by those who have lived through such events.

Individuals at or above the age of majority are eligible for participation if they have experienced housing damage or loss, were evacuated or displaced due to a natural disaster or extreme weather event, experienced said event(s) in Atlantic Canada, and were affected between 2015 and 2026.

Those interested may participate by calling (506) 648-5522 or by emailing homerl@unb.ca, where someone will get back to you.
