Peel Community Climate Change Flood Resiliency Strategies

Date Revised: February 21, 2019

                                                                                         1
Flood Resiliency Strategy
Context:       The Peel Community Climate Change Steering Committee (PCCCSC) identified flood resiliency as 1 of 3 priorities that could be addressed by partner
               organizations (Peel, Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon, CVC and TRCA). The following strategy was approved by the Peel (PCCCSC) on December 19,
               2017.

Purpose:       Work together to improve flood resiliency in light of current and future extreme weather events. Build upon the Region of Peel Water and Natural
               Heritage Vulnerability assessments by optimizing policies, programs, and practices, and increasing alignment amongst partners

Delivery   Who will the leader of this strategy work
Chain      through in order to implement the strategy

                                                                                                                                                             15
at the necessary scale? Draw the delivery
        chain and consider:

        What is the end of the chain? This is usually
        the end-user/citizen and coincides with the
        definition of success.

        Between the leader (the beginning of the
        chain) and the end of the chain, who are all
        the people or organizations that must be
        involved in implementing the strategy? How
        many of each are there? What role does
        each play?

        What is the most important line of influence
        between the beginning and the end of the
        chain – the single line that is most critical to
        implementation?

        Please note: The actual development of the
        Delivery Chain will be facilitated by SDMR at
        a meeting with ToCP / Strategy Leads

Risks   As you look at the delivery chain, are there       •   Partnership commitment and resource availability: 2018 Deliverables are focused
        risks to implementation that you see? For              on partnership wide activities that align with flood resiliency activities. The
        each one, how will we manage it?                       current activities may not currently be prioritized to optimize return on
                                                               investment. Optimal activities that benefit all or a large % of the PCCP need to be
                                                               reviewed and listed in order of benefit. Without partnership commitment,
                                                               activities may proceed in an un-integrated or uncoordinated fashion. To manage
                                                               and minimize this risk, the lead will work through the PCCP to identify challenges

                                                                                                                                                     16

Feedback   As you look at the delivery chain, are there
Loops      any aspects of implementation that you
           would want to measure to get feedback on
           implementation? (These would supplement
           the strategy metric above).
