Climate Change Adaptation Workshop
Our greatest risks and how we identified them in the project: Highways and Transport
The Workshop Aims:- To increase understanding of Climate Change risks, the risk management process and the adaptation actions required for Highways & Transportation- To have worked through the process to reach a detailed risk assessment and management plan for the most significant risks.
LCLIP and Case StudiesCWAC Risk Assessment MethodologyWorkshop 1 – Identifying & Quantifying the RisksWorkshop 2 – Assessing Existing Risk Management PlansWorkshop 3 – Identifying Risk Management Options
Scoring• Two scores
Current - where you are now (with existing controls)
Target - where you will be (with proposed actions)
• Risk Score = Likelihood x ImpactLikelihood of occurrence
happening Impact if it does occur
• Scores are 1(low) to 4 (high)
• It is the relative scores that are important not the absolute
LIKELIHOOD
Very Likely
Likely
Unlikely
Very Unlikely
Minor Significant Serious Major
IMPACT
Prioritising Risks
Impact HIGHLOW
Non threatening
Housekeeping
These risks have a high likelihood of happening do lower impact; they require routine management
Likelihood
Primary
These risks have high impact and likelihood; these will require primary attention
Contingency
These risks have high impact but lower likelihood; they are catastrophic events
Identifying the Risks: -Deterioration of Highways Assets:
roads bridges etc. -Risk from maintenance: lack of and increasing need, inspections-Impact from weather events, especially interacting events-Increased accidents etc-Related consequences: Ground shrinkage, subsidence: landslides etc caused by drought and lower water tables
More Risks: Knowledge
• Knowledge of vulnerabilities, internally and externally
• Incomplete assets understanding
• Flood mapping data• Surface Water Management
Plans • Information held by United
Utilities, Env Agency, Emergency Services etc.
Long Term Risks
• Local Development Plan: future development: industry, housing, critical infrastructure etc.
• Local Transport Plan 3 • Existing Areas at risk: major sites
Sealand Road Industrial/ Retail• Over 1,700 businesses in
Cheshire & Warrington are at risk of 1:100 year flooding
Next Steps
• Report to Director– Action plan– Ownership/ responsibilities
• Member engagement– Risk Management session– Presentation to groups– Budget implications
