Hailstorms can cause significant damage to homes and property. Calgary is in “hail alley,” a hotspot for hailstorms in Canada, which makes all Calgary communities at risk of being hit by hail. The City’s Climate Ready Home Program shares practical guidance to help you reduce damage risk before storm season and make more resilient repair or upgrade choices.
Start at calgary.ca/ClimateReadyHome to:
- Review your home insurance policies to make sure you’re covered for hail damage.
- Monitor local weather forecasts and Alberta Emergency Alerts for storm watches/warnings, and if possible, store vehicles and belongings in a covered area.
- Explore home upgrades and resilient materials (for example, Class 4 impact-resistant roofing and hail resilient siding such as fibre cement) using Climate Ready Home resources as a guide.
These resources provide non-emergency guidance to help you take practical steps ahead of severe weather. Learn more at calgary.ca/ClimateReadyHome.
