Municipal Assets: High-Level Climate Risk Screening
Facilitated by: Matt Delorme, P.Eng. and Ian Tenhaaf, P.Eng.
Climate resilience is no longer optional. It is essential for funding, planning, and protecting your community. But to secure funding and build long-term success, you need more than a one-time report: you need the skills to understand, track, and act on evolving climate risks using your own data.
This workshop is based on the Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Committee (PIEVC) Portfolio and High-Level Risk Screening guides, developed with small and medium-sized communities in mind. No detailed technical knowledge is required to attend.
At the end of this workshop, participants will have: a completed high-level climate risk screen for critical assets in their community, learned how to use a reusable screening tool they can apply to additional assets on their own, and the confidence to identify priority projects, demonstrate climate action to funders and council, and add demonstrated value to their role.
Learn to:
• Use your own data to catalogue assets by climate risk.
• Access publicly available climate forecasts for your community.
• Complete a high-level risk screen for one asset class using your own data.
• Identify when to build and when to mitigate risk.
• Present climate risk in terms of impacts, clear options, cost of inaction and straightforward communication to council and residents.
You’ll leave ready to identify priority projects and confidently guide decision-making and add demonstrated value to your municipality and your role within it.
Who Should Attend: Municipal asset managers, CAOs, department heads, public works managers, facility managers, council members, climate and sustainability staff.
Outcomes or Deliverables:
High-Level Climate Risk Screen of one asset class
High-Level Climate Risk Screen tool for other asset classes
Cost: $150 per participant
Coffee and snacks will be provided at the in-person sessions. One-on one support and work review is available after the workshop is complete.

Fund and the Government of Canada.
