The costliest disaster in Canada’s history, the Fort McMurray fire, also called the Horse River fire, forced an estimated 88,000 people to evacuate and caused $8.9 billion (Canadian) in damage. Starting in northeastern Alberta on May 1, 2016, the fire raged for two months. While it was declared under control July 4, 2016, the fire continued to smolder and wasn’t extinguished until over a year later. 

A post-event review of the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire, "Fort McMurray Wildfire: Learning from Canada's costliest disaster," was conducted by Zurich Insurance and the , to assess resilience actions taken before, during and after the fire. The goal is to provide actionable recommendations for building resilience.
