Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future1We anticipate an increase in the frequency and intensity of rainfall events and storms. Currently we have some experience with property damage (flooding in basements), interruptions to transportation, sewage backup causing beach closures, erosion of banks affecting parks, streams, and transportation corridors e.g. the Lochside Trail multi-use path temporary closure. By 2050, from Saanich's Risk Assessment Report, we expect: More frequent and intense rainfall events causing saturated soils, with impacts on natural biofiltering and storage capacity (including water quality and flooding risks) [medium-high risk]More frequent and intense rainfall events causing streams to be inundated, increasing erosion, sediment loads, and contaminants in water courses due to volume of storm water runoff [medium risk]Increased flooding in spring and drought in summer causing shifts in viable crops [medium risk]Increased extreme weather events causing disruption and delays in transportation network (e.g. storms, smoke, heavy rainfall delaying flights, ferries, etc.) [medium risk]Increased extreme weather events causing impacts to natural ecosystems and biodiversity, compromising capacity of green infrastructure and ecosystem services [medium risk]Increased extreme weather events (heat waves, air quality advisories, heavy rainfall, storms) affecting active transportation [medium risk]

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future2Local ecosystems are currently showing distress due to hotter drier summers. Public health measures are put in place during heat waves, and some events and cultural activities are modified during a heat wave, especially when air quality is affected due to wildfires outside our boundaries. By 2050, from Saanich's Risk Assessment Report, we expect: Increased average temperatures and drier summers causing native species to be stressed, affecting biodiversity and creating new opportunities for invasive species [high risk]Increased average temperatures causing ecological regime shifts (i.e. “what is a native plant?”) [high risk]Increased average temperatures and drier summers reducing groundwater recharge and affecting water quality [medium-high risk]More frequent and intense heat waves causing warmer temperatures in streams, decreasing water quality and impacting fisheries [medium-high risk]Increased average temperatures increasing pests and diseases (e.g. emerald ash borer), resulting in loss of species [medium risk]Hotter, drier summers and increased wildfires causing poor air quality and impacting health (e.g. asthma-related illnesses from smoke or humidity) [medium-high risk]Increased average temperatures and extreme weather, impacting lifestyle [medium-high risk]Increased average temperatures and drier summers increasing wildland/interface fires in Saanich [medium risk]Increased extreme weather events causing impacts to natural ecosystems and biodiversity, compromising capacity of green infrastructure and ecosystem services [medium risk]Increased extreme weather events (heat waves, air quality advisories, heavy rainfall, storms) affecting active transportation [medium risk]

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future3Wind storms currently can cause power outages in our electricity supply due to the impact of downed trees on power lines. By 2050, from Saanich's Risk Assessment Report, we expect: Increased wind and storm events causing more deadwood for fire threat, and less biomass to reduce wind impacts [medium risk]

By 2050, from Saanich's Risk Assessment Report, we expect: Sea level rise and storm surges causing flooding and damage to coastal infrastructure (e.g. drainage, transportation, buildings) [medium risk]

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future6Currently, local ecosystems are showing stress of hotter, drier summers. By 2050, from Saanich's Risk Assessment Report, we expect: Increased average temperatures and drier summers causing native species to be stressed, affecting biodiversity and creating new opportunities for invasive species [high risk]Increased average temperatures and drier summers reducing groundwater recharge and affecting water quality [medium-high risk]Drier summers turning wetlands turning into drier ecosystems (e.g. swamp to seasonal wetland) [medium-high risk]Increased drought causing increased tree mortality rate and change in urban forest composition [medium-high risk]Hotter, drier summers and increased wildfires causing poor air quality and impacting health (e.g. asthma-related illnesses from smoke or humidity) [medium-high risk]Increased average temperatures and drier summers increasing wildland/interface fires in Saanich [medium risk]Drier summers increasing topsoil erosion, pests and invasive species, leading to higher agricultural inputs, and compromising food production potential and quality [medium risk]Increased flooding in spring and drought in summer causing shifts in viable crops [medium risk]

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future7Currently, air quality is impacted in our community from forest fires elsewhere. Poor air quality affects health, outdoor activities, and the insolation available for photosynthesizing plants and solar productivity. By 2050, from Saanich's Risk Assessment Report, we expect: Hotter, drier summers and increased wildfires causing poor air quality and impacting health (e.g. asthma-related illnesses from smoke or humidity) [medium-high risk]Increased average temperatures and drier summers increasing wildland/interface fires in Saanich [medium risk]
