Several municipalities have developed their Municipal Infrastructure Resilience Plan, but a few have moved beyond planning towards implementation. The Region of Durham has been one of those leaders to take that next step in the Greater Toronto Area and Ontario.The August 2021 IPCC’s “Code red” warning makes it all-important now for us to plan, design and build our infrastructure with future climate change impacts in mind. Hear from Durham’s Chair of Transportation Task Force on Climate Change and the Climate Consultant, who led Durham’s riverine flood risk assessment to identify the bridges and road segments that need to be improved for present and future flood risks. This presentation will help municipal staff and transportation agencies to understand how to approach a flood vulnerability assessment considering several factors, including a socioeconomic lens, to identify and improve the resilience of the transportation system in a changing climate.
