There has been significant damages to homes and commercial properties due to flooding, risk of transportation on roads, aging infrastructure, animal habitat, etc. In 2017, a major road in Whitby's downtown was closed due to flooding of the area (Brock Street South/Waste Street) and residents were urged to stay aware from bluffs and urged to use caution near the waterfront. In the Durham Community Climate Adaptation Plan. it has been projected that the occurrence of flooding will only increase in local municipalities of Durham, including Whitby, therefore new climate resilience standards must be included. Just this year in 2019. Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) issues a flood warning for the Lake Ontario shoreline in the Town of Whitby. It was expected that the storm brought 15-35mm of rain. In the future, there is high risk for stormwater facilities, roads and transportation, sanitary services, erosion, pollution, electrical services, communications services, social services, EMS, police, public use of flood plains, damage to private assets, social disruption, and business disruption.

This has serious consequences for elderly, children, and vulnerable populations who would be severely impacted by heat waves. Back in 2016, drought conditions were parching the countryside in Durham and transforming the green landscape to dry land. This impacted people across all demographics, and resulted in Town events (e.g. Ribfest) being almost unbearably hot. This impacts crops and gives high cost to local farmers who are trying to sustain their own business and local communities. The drought conditions placed high stress on any newly planted trees, as they lacked the sufficient water supply to establish solid growth. In the future, the extreme heat will continue to impact outside workers, reduce asset life, accelerate challenges of ageing infrastructure, vegetation management and growing seasons, transmission and disruption outages, social disruption, health related death and illness, buckling of pavement and bridges, softening of asphalt, and impacts to water supply in the Town of Whitby.

Back in 2018, severe windstorms were felt in Whitby. This caused loose objects to be overturned, older buildings to be more susceptible to damage, branches and top heavy trees to snap, impacted streelights and powerlines. In May of 2019, with CLOCA issuing the flood warning there were heavy concerns relating to the wind forecast which saw winds from 30-40km/h and gusts up to 80km/h. With high water levels and significant winds there were impacts to low-lying and flood prone areas due to storm surge and wave uprush. Within the Durham Community Climate Adaptation plan of 2016, it is expected that by 2040-2049, more extreme weather events with high winds and heavy rain will impact municipalities in Durham region. This will continue to cause power outages and infrastructure damages. In the future, extreme winds will bring power outages caused by infrastructure damages, infectious borne diseases, road failure through subsoil failure, pavement structure failure, and increases of chronic and acute exposure for public health air quality.

There would be increased impacts on aging infrastructure and road capacity within the Town of Whitby. Back in 2018, Whitby and several other Durham Municipalities were dealing with extreme winter conditions. This ranged from freezing rain to heavy snowfall that occured overnight. In 2018, Environment Canada issued a rainfall warning with rainfall amounts in the 20mm to 30mm range. The ice accumulations, combined with gusty winds (from 40km/h to 70km/h) had strong potential to result in power outages due to fallen trees and power lines, with the continued threat of flooding. These types of storms will continue to occur, even more frequently, and result in greater damages to both private and public property. In the future, under the Durham Community Climate Adaptation Plan, it is expected that there will be a medium risk for infrastructure failure leading to power outages (due to ice accretion and trees falling on lines), increase in invasive species (increase in local pests), and more fluctuation of winter climates resulting in more rain during the winter months (leading to increase threat of flooding).
