The Future of MRAT
31
Large amounts of data transferred1st generation mapping reviewed2nd generation mapping, June 2014Gained more knowledge about our
system
Accomplishments to Date
32
Next steps for Fredericton
Review 2nd generation mapsValidate mapping Incorporate highlighted areas into
infrastructure renewal planning / construction
Review new IDF curves
33
Current Status
Data obtained and maps developed for six additional municipalities
MRAT philosophy validated and accepted by Engineers of pilot municipalities
Built relationships with FCM, participating municipalities, federal and provincial governments
34
Future of MRAT
Interest in MRAT from cities across Canada continues
P&C insurance industry will give MRAT development and risk maps to municipalities
Goal is to predict likelihood of catastrophic sewer backups to year 2050
35
Future of Adaptation
Find solutions to the problem of natural catastrophes and severe weather
Create awareness and solutions around adaptation to severe weather and catastrophic losses
Build resiliency across Canada for: Flood mitigation
Earthquake preparedness
Community safety
