Also known as FN-PIEVC (FN Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Committee)
Module 2 builds on the data from Module 1 and introduces a structured approach to assessing the risks that climate change poses to community infrastructure. This module's methodology is rooted in the well-established Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Committee (PIEVC) Protocol, a proven climate change vulnerability assessment framework developed by Engineers Canada and adapted to reflect the unique needs and contexts of First Nations communities.
This methodology aligns with internationally recognized standards, specifically the ISO Standards for Risk Management (ISO 31000:2018) and Adaptation to Climate Change – Guidelines on Vulnerability, Impacts, and Risk Assessment (ISO 14091:2021).
This process not only identifies vulnerabilities but also prioritizes actions to mitigate risks, ensuring that the most critical issues are addressed in a timely manner. Using relevant climate parameters, environmental exposures and vulnerability risks are used to develop mitigation and adaptation measures.
