What is the end result of the Vulnerability Committee process?
The first result of the Vulnerability Committee process will be the First National Engineering Vulnerability Assessment Report. This work will be used to plan additional vulnerability assessments as well as to review and where necessary, make amendments to infrastructure codes, standards and design practices and facilitate such work. The Vulnerability Committee’s work will be completed once such amendments are adopted so that climate change impacts have been adequately accounted for in engineering design, operation and maintenance of physical infrastructure. There will be a continued need to monitor and if necessary, adjust standards over time as projected changes in the climate are confirmed and further vulnerability assessments are completed.
