Resilient IE works to support regional and local efforts to prepare for and mitigate risks associated with climate adaptation on the region's transportation infrastructure. Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE Reslient IE »Resilient IE is the recipient of the Caltrans Adaptation Planning Grant funded by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE 5 primary project components »A newly established regional climate collaborative, the Inland Southern California Climate Collaborative (ISC3) »Subregional vulnerability assessments and adaptation strategies »City-level, climate-related transportation hazards and evacuation maps »A regionally-tailored climate resilient transportation infrastructure guidebook »A template regional climate adaptation and resiliency element Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE Regional Climate Hazards »Numerous climate hazards in the region •Everyone may be affected, but some more severely »Hazards have worsened over past decade »Associated risks: •Increased threat to public health and safety •Greater likelihood of property and infrastructure damage •Harm to regional economic drivers •Higher costs to rebuild •Loss of regional ecosystems Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE Why Resilient IE Toolkit? »Goal: Make it easier for communities to increase resilience of transportation infrastructure to climate-related hazards »Supports integration of climate adaptation planning into local processes »Allows for easy and more effective implementation »Helps communities comply with State regulations •SB 379 –Safety Element Vulnerability •AB 747 –Evacuation Routes •SB 1000 –Environmental Justice Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE Toolkit Components Introduction Vulnerability Assessments Evacuation and Transportation Route Hazard Mapping Adaptation Strategies Climate Resilient Transportation Infrastructure Guidebook Resilience Template Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE 1. Introduction »Overview of the toolkit »Help navigating available resources »Guidance for use »Legislative context Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE Vulnerability Assessment »Identifies climate-related hazards in the area and how they are projected to change. »Assesses how populations and assets may be harmed by these hazards »Measures level of vulnerability •How severe are the effects? •How easily can the population or asset recover? »Jurisdiction-specific vulnerabilities Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE 1. Evacuation Mapping »City-level evacuation routes for entire subregion »Hazard overlays with evacuation routes •Shows key routes and infrastructure to prioritize transportation resilience measures. Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE 1. Hazards Wildfire Drought Flooding Air quality, human health and ecological hazards Severe weather Extreme wind Mudslides and landslides Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE 2. Flooding »Extreme precipitation events may become more frequent and intense »Wet seasons (those with a 4% chance of occurring in any given year »Precipitation increases are projected »Warmer temperatures are projected to drive earlier and more rapid snow melt Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE 3. Severe Weather »Atmospheric rivers could be approximately 25% longer and more frequent »Increase in winter precipitation with warmer temperatures rive earlier and more rapid snow melt Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE 4. Adaptation Strategies »Recommendations for improving resilience across sectors »Address 9 priority areas identified in VA 1.Planning and Emergency Response Frameworks 2.Disadvantaged Communities 3.Public Health 4.Transportation Infrastructure and Operations 5.Resilient Development 6.Water and Energy Resources and Reliability 7.Agriculture 8.Biological Resources 9.Plan Maintenance »Foundation for communities to develop local policies Grand Terrace Planning CommissionResilient IE 5.
