Vulnerabilities and adaptationWATER
Vulnerability• Higher peak flows in fall
and winter
Adaptation strategy• Design infrastructure to
accommodate higher peak flows

Vulnerabilities and adaptationWATER
Vulnerability• Higher peak flows in fall
and winter
Adaptation tactics• Install larger culverts• Decommission roads in
floodplains• Relocate campgrounds
subject to floodingSlidecourtesyofD.Peterson,USFS

Vulnerabilities and adaptationFISHERIES
Vulnerability• Higher stream
temperatures will degrade habitat
Adaptation strategy• Restore and maintain
cold-water habitat

Vulnerabilities and adaptationFISHERIES
Vulnerability• Higher stream
temperatures will degrade habitat
Adaptation tactics• Map cold-water habitat• Restore side channels• Increase shade in
riparian areas

Vulnerabilities and adaptationVEGETATION
Vulnerability• Wildfire will burn more
area and over a longer fire season
Adaptation strategy• Increase resilience of
forest ecosystems to more frequent fire

Vulnerabilities and adaptationVEGETATION
Vulnerability• Wildfire will burn more
