Adaptation Action Plan Accept that change is occurring and plan to adapt to it: Analyse different events Rain/drought Temperature Air Quality etc Assess possible impact on assets Flooding/shrinkage etc Melting/movement etc Health impact Assess mitigation measures Amend design/maintenance standards/regime Build in greater stiffness/tolerance to movement Clean air

Event More frequent & extreme rainfall, Extreme storm surges Impact Flash floods Weakens pavement structure Major Disruption to traffic Severe inconvenience to all users Actions Identify & target hotspots Refurbishment programme of pumping stations Drainage maintenance frequency reviewed and amended Design standards revised Flooding

Event Extreme temperature fluctuations Impact Long term loss of capacity with minor or major disruption Melting roads Rutting Actions Revise Design Standards Utilise rut resistant materials Introduce General and Principle inspections for earthworks Plant more varied species, including Trees for a Changing Climate Temperature

Air Quality Event Poor air quality events Impact Long term loss of capacity with minor or major disruption Melting roads Rutting Actions Revise Design Standards Utilise rut resistant materials Introduce General and Principle inspections for earthworks Plant more varied species, including Trees for a Changing Climate

Pavement Thinner Pavements EME 2 (Anti rutting dense binder course) Environmentally friendly surfacing products: Foambase (recycled mix) Tempera (warm mix) Ecolvia (cold mix)
