27 tools and systems were developed and shared to support and improve adaptation decision-making. This included risk maps and models, disease forecasting tools, knowledge synthesis and awareness resources on ways to prevent and control identified disease risks, as well as ongoing surveillance and laboratory diagnostics (particularly vector-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and Lyme disease).

Standards and related tools to support resilience in infrastructure

By 2022-23, individuals, communities, and those jurisdictions responsible for building and maintaining infrastructure are engaged in the standards development process and are aware of the Program’s climate-resilient infrastructure standards and related tools.

After 2021, 36 standards and related tools have been completed; targeted number of jurisdictions acknowledging standards has been achieved.
The standards and related tools developed are providing the necessary guidance and information to infrastructure design professionals.

2022-23

As of March 2022, 41 standards, guidance documents, and other standardization strategies have been developed under SCC's 2016-2021 Standards to Support Resilience in Infrastructure Program (SSRIP). A final program report capturing lessons learned, and next steps will be published by the end of FY 2022-2023.

The first phase of the SSRIP has now sunset. A second, phase (2021-2026) of the SSRIP has begun which will see an additional 36 standards, guidance documents and other standardization strategies developed to support climate resilient infrastructure.
