However there are concerns over damages due to culvert and bridge washouts that can occur. Inspection and maintenance of these structures has been stepped up wich helps reduce the risk of damages. In recent years, Toronto has experienced extreme rainfall resulting in thousands of basement floods; untreated sewage entering Lake Ontario; debris and hazardous material clean-up costing millions of dollars; electrical disruption affecting hundreds of thousands of Toronto residents; and, transportation disruption affecting thousands of commuters due to road closures, and public transport delays. Most parts of Toronto are not in river flood plains, the main problem of flooding is due to "Urban Flooding" (also known as overland or pluvial flooding), which is considerably different than river based flooding, just to be clear. | |||

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 10 | Vector-borne diseases are a less serious concern for Toronto. In recent years, West Nile Virus and Lyme disease have migrated northward posing increased risk to human health and specifically for Toronto residents - blacklegged ticks which transmit Lyme disease have been found in Toronto. The disease can affect the central nervous system, brain, joints or the heart affecting any age group. West Nile Virus can affect anyone – however; the elderly, children and those with a weakened immune system are at greater risk. As the climate continues to warm, Toronto may experience an increased number of health implications linked to vector-borne diseases.Although the number of people affected currently is not high, the impact on individual people is considered sometimes to be extreme. Lyme disease in particular has the threat of changing how much people spend time outdoors which will have other health and psychological effects. (i.e. the benefits of being able to spend time in nature may decrease). | |||

This reduces the amount of funds available to take measures towards resilience. Around 50% of Toronto's growing population is housed in high rise buildings, many of which are older than 1980. High rise buildings are more problematic in the event of an extended power failure if they are not fitted with backup power for sustained habitation, which is generally the case. There is a key concern about vulnerable populations (e.g. seniors, disabled persons, new immigrants with few social connections) in the event of an extended power disruption. Most buildings have backup power, but not for sustained habitation. | |||

In the climate area, there is a lot more federal and provincial government money specifically tagged as available for greenhouse gas / energy conservation action. However, new money is becoming available from federal sources. | |||

| 113399 | 31117 | City of Toronto | Canada, North America | Canada | Climate Hazards & Vulnerability | Climate Hazards | 2.2 | Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability. | 3 | Please describe the factor and the degree to which it supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city | 4 | Staffing for the specific area of climate change adaptation is very limited. This restricts the initiatives that can be undertaken. There is a constant turn over of capable staff, which means retraining / re-engagement of organizations when key people move on, usually to other jobs where there is a perceived more urgent priority, or money to do things. In a large city it takes a core group of people to help other city organizations get engaged and active on adaption. When that core group itself has limited resources, then it is hard to organize a larger organized movement on adaptation. An emerging recent concern is having sufficient City staff available to write competitive technical proposals for the grant money for resilience oriented projects and then have the capacity to administer contracts to get the work done. | |||
