There is no section on low income individuals. Is this intended to be incorporated on the intersection of economic disparity with the groups listed here? Similar question with people who don't have reliable housing - they are at major risk in major climate events.

has this been sent to MECP for feedback? Infrastructure planning is normally governed by MECP with respect to risk and consultation. It may well be a worthwhile reach out.

this is good. it is quite generic but i am assuming it is that organizations can customize based on their own needs. and it is a free resource not requiring any form of login which is rare and appealing to many.

Is this accurate? Recent Atlantic Canada events have substantially impacted children (fatalities in flood events) and elderly / disabled people (extended power outages)

This conflates infrastructure and individual sensitivity. Infrastructure sensitivity is measured by the long or short term decrease of functional performance, increased operations and maintenance activity / costs or long term loss of function. Individual sensitivity is as described and is related to loss of access to services from infrastructure failure. Infrastructure can be sensitive to failure without loss of service access with adequate risk mitigation.

a mitigation plan is only the reducing risk part.

Can its suggestions be worked into this document?
réponses
Technique
In 7.1.1.1, reference is made to "infrastructure maintenance data and tools." That there are also accessible tools available for climate data projections could be mentioned here, instead of just saying "climate trends data" (trends are not the only important info for assessing climate change impacts). For example, the online tools available through PCIC and ClimateData.ca come to mind.
réponses
Technique
The term "forecasting" isn't really appropriate for future climate projections, which come with higher uncertainty than short-term weather forecasts. The timing of modelled climate change, e.g., is intrinsically much more uncertain, even if can express some confidence in the magnitude and direction of change.

All related municipal staff and Council members need training and education on an equity lens in the context of climate, for this to be possible.

change to "equity vs dominant groups"

because sometimes those marginalized depending on the location can be the numerical majority
réponses

It seems like this section perhaps goes beyond only an equity lens to also discuss an inclusion lens, and a reconciliation lens, etc.
réponses
Éditorial
Could "Increased Social Justice" be a section? Sometimes it is necessary to use legal requirements and financial savings, but at the end of the day governments should serve the people and saving lives and preventing suffering should be government's moral obligation, to achieve increased social justice - in other words, it is the right thing to do.
réponses
Éditorial
This is confusing because we were talking about equity but the paragraph starts out talking about inclusive infrastructure. I think the point needs to be consistent to be more clear. Also, I think there could be more said about how an equity-based approach to retrofits can be applied - or at least more meaningful examples. At the municipal level, we are asked by funders to go beyond engagement with marginalized communities and consider empowerment approaches, for example. It could also include spending more funds on the areas where the most marginalized communities live/depend upon, etc...
réponses
Éditorial
Also, there are some laws/documents that result in the provincial government's duty to consult. Also relevant is the municipal context - the province's duty to consult can sometimes apply to municipalities - for example, when we have a provincially funded grant, or when there is an Indigenous burial site within the municipality. Also, provincial papers often guide/require municipalities to consult on their secondary and official planning processes - which have environmental impacts.

Perhaps beyond the scope of this document, but you might consider including mention of targeted individualism: link

Because the way that dominant groups are having to grapple with climate disaster is also bad and needs improvement - so a targeted universalism approach would mean better for everyone, but still with additional supports for the marginalized

"The homeless" (or really any "the [adjective") is not a good way to refer to people.

Infrastructure is defined here as "physical and organizational structures," but the four types listed are all physical - land, buildings, water, energy.

The phrase starting with "For example, by putting a higher financial burden..." is a fragment, not a complete sentence. Additionally, the logical connection between it and the sentence prior is not clearly expressed.

In addition to correcting the sentence fragment, I suggest simplifying the language a bit and making the connection between exclusion and unforeseen negative impacts more overt.

"Theories of vulnerability have constituted the conceptual core of the anthropology of disaster for roughly 40 years. Yet, there is an undercurrent of disquiet among disaster scholars and community leaders who worry that vernacular uses of vulnerability can be insulting to individuals and communities with whom we work, and/or with whom we identify. There is a growing discomfort that categorizing the “vulnerable” acts to discursively nullify the everywhere-visible “resilience,” toughness, and genius that exist in communities that are habitually exposed to risk and hazards. We argue that constructing vulnerability as a characteristic of subaltern peoples and marginalized places is truncated at best and can perpetuate violence—epistemic, semiotic, and material—at worst. To identify the “vulnerable” is, we contend, necessarily a process of otherizing and essentializing. We see and are concerned to further encourage an emergent form of disaster anthropology that is particularly oriented toward understanding and theorizing the institutions, systems, and individuals that structure risk, and in the process to focus attention away from “the vulnerable.”...we recognize vulnerability conceived not merely as historical inequity that produces negative outcomes, but as nested and contested sites of struggle for different visions of utopian futures, for contrasting articulations of what constitutes risk, and for diverse cultural logics of the good."

A key aspect of infrastructure management that is loosely referenced is to understand the current levels of service being delivered to the community. From an EDIA-perspective, it is valuable to also understand how equitably this service is being delivered. Infrastructure lifespan and performance is, in my view, a separate but closely related question that should be answered. Having a separate question that focuses on levels of service and understanding how equitably they are being delivered would be valuable.
réponses
Maintenance data is also relevant to non-building infrastructure such as roads, watermains, sanitary sewers, etc.
