What the workshop is about: 
Floods, fires, and storm surges are impacting municipal infrastructure and services as well as private property in many municipalities throughout Atlantic Canada. 

Developing robust operations and maintenance plans are important to manage the risk of these increasingly frequent climate events and their impacts. 

Participants in this workshop will be guided through the process of integrating climate resilience into municipal operations and maintenance, and will be provided access to AIM Network’s O&M toolkit.
As an outcome of this workshop, participants will be empowered to communicate to council, other staff members, and the public the benefits of incorporating climate resiliency into operations and maintenance planning.

You will also be given the tools to explain how it reduces the municipalities liability and improves relations with residents during major climate events.

staff.

Maintenance resilience action roadmap for their municipality.
