Inventory & condition information as well as service life, replacement value, and climate data.
Whether you choose to use the First Nations Infrastructure Resilience Toolkit (FN-iRT) for a standalone Climate Risk Assessment (CRA) or to develop an Asset Management Plan (AMP), your initial step is to gather detailed information on your community's assets—such as infrastructure, buildings, facilities, and other essential resources. This data may have been compiled for funding and reporting needs, like ACRS or ICMS, or for financial records, such as PSAB 3150.
This module lays the foundation by consolidating essential data about community infrastructure. It includes detailed references to climate trends, gathered through meaningful consultations with community members, Elders, Hunters, and other local knowledge holders. These insights, grounded in traditional knowledge, are validated where possible by weather station data. Additionally, future climate projections—derived from published sources or climate models—are incorporated to help communities anticipate and prepare for changes that could impact their infrastructure.
