Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH)

Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH)

A climate change vulnerability assessment was conducted for Nanaimo Regional General
Hospital (NRGH) using the Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Committee
(PIEVC) protocol version PG- 10.1. The protocol was devised to assess infrastructure
vulnerability to changing climate parameters. This work consisted of identifying the
potentially vulnerable infrastructure systems, determining possible climate change
induced effects on relevant climatic parameters, and developing a risk rating for each
possible interaction. The assessment does not evaluate the risks posed by the current
climate or extreme weather events but instead focuses on the new vulnerabilities caused
by climate change, as projected from climate models out to the year 2050.
