Existing Hazards and Changing Climate defines the threats Includes Non-climate factors Importance of linking Asset/Threat pairs
• Flooding • Landslides • Drought

Step2: Assess Vulnerability and Risk
Two Primary Concepts:
Exposure: the presence of assets in relation to a hazard
Adaptive Capacity: the ability to cope with impacts
Understanding the susceptibility of societal assets due to physical and social factors.

Step 3: Investigate Options
Workshops with city staff on using
information from Steps 1 and 2 to
identify options
– Focus on the assets and services that have
the highest risk
– Identify feasible options
– Benchmark other communities through the
US Climate Resilience Toolkit

Step 4: Prioritize Options
• Reduce exposure or
increase adaptive
capacity?
• Target areas based on
total number exposed
or the few that are
most vulnerable?
• How do we prioritize?

Step 4: Prioritize Options
Final Workshop—City staff will use information from
Phase I &II to prioritize options
– Focus on the Asset/Threat pairs that have the
highest vulnerability and risk
– Prioritize options based on several criteria
A useful group exercise is the construction of a “traffic light” table. Columns show key goals the group considers to be important for their community. A “green light” is then assigned to options that meet that goal, a “caution light” is assigned for options that may encounter obstacles, and a “red light” is used for a non-starter. Options that have green lights in all columns can be immediately pursued.
