At OSPE’s 2022 Engineering Conference, Guy Felio (P.Eng., FCSCE, FIAM, IRP [Climate]) and Elmer Lickers will deliver a presentation on assessing and managing climate risks to infrastructure in First Nations communities. Since 2016, Felio and Lickers have worked together to develop the award-winning First Nations Infrastructure Resilience Toolkit (FN-IRT). The FN-IRT allows First Nations communities to assess the vulnerability of their infrastructure, buildings, and facilities due to extreme weather, and provides guidance on how these risks can be integrated into long-term planning.
Felio and Lickers’ presentation (Assessing the Climate Risks to Infrastructure in First Nations Communities: Methodology and Case Studies) outlines the development, content, and application of the Toolkit, and includes case studies to illustrate its use.
