  1. Adaptation and Capital Assets James Noakes 7th December 2010 Environmental Services 1

  2. What are our Capital Assets What do we mean? What is an asset? Are we responsible? EG Schools / Housing etc Is it part of our long term future? Asset Management Plan 2

  3. Risk Register Bowtie approach! What are the risk events? Who is responsible for prevention? What are the outputs/impacts/actions to take? 3

  4. What did we discover? Can be quite repetitive Are we really getting the right responses? Tool was difficult to figure out for some Doesn’t read across easily Skewed Needs further work to determine priorities Difficult to get people to think of the right CC Climate Change, not Civil Contingencies 4

  5. What did we discover? (2) What we do not what we touch How do we use the building/asset? How do we access the services? Are we dependent on the asset itself? So it is about what we do with the asset not the asset itself 5

  6. What did we discover? (3) Attitudes need to be understood Of others eg insurance companies Knowledge is key Too few know what temperature rises mean UKCP09 data needs translating “Who does what?” needs developing Business continuity is focused on your own area. People need to know about others too Are we speaking to the right people? 6

  7. What did we discover? (4) We know less than we thought Before we discuss adapting, we need to know where we are We have no vision of what an adapted asset base looks like We are not bringing together the right elements at present We cannot shy away from technical issues 7

  8. Greatest Risks Identified Inability to sustain consistent energy supply (heating, cooling, power) Built environment becoming affected by extreme or prolonged periods of hot weather Insufficient capacity in drains and sewers to cope with heavy or prolonged localised rainfall 8

  9. Next steps… Use workshop as a base not an end Needs a lot more work! Understanding vulnerabilities and vulnerable areas Working with University of Manchester and Eco-Cities Match community issues with asset issues Communication and knowledge sharing 9
