  • Abstract:
    This report, developed for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), summarizes a vulnerability assessment conducted for the portion of the State Highway System (SHS) located in Caltrans District 10. Although the SHS can be vulnerable to many different types of disruptions, this assessment specifically examined SHS vulnerabilities from long-term changes in climate. Climate change and extreme weather events have received increasing attention worldwide as one of the greatest challenges facing modern society. Many state agencies—such as the California Coastal Commission (CCC), the California Energy Commission (CEC), and the California Department of Water Resources (DWR)—have developed approaches for understanding and assessing the potential impacts of a changing climate on California’s natural resources and built environment. State agencies are invested in defining the implications of climate change and many of California’s academic institutions are engaged in developing resources for decision makers. Caltrans initiated the current study to better understand the vulnerability of California’s SHS and other Caltrans assets to future changes in climate. The vulnerability study had three objectives: 1) Caltrans initiated the current study to better understand the vulnerability of California’s SHS and other Caltrans assets to future changes in climate. The vulnerability study had three objectives: 2) Conduct a vulnerability assessment of Caltrans assets likely vulnerable to various climate-influenced natural hazards. 3) Develop a method to prioritize candidate projects that recognizes climate change concerns and limited financial resources. The Caltrans study focuses on all 12 Caltrans districts, each facing its own set of challenges regarding future climate conditions and potential weather-related disruptions. The District 10 report is one of the district reports that are currently in various stages of development.
