| Summary | The aim of this project is to identify, collect and classify all of the information available related to permafrost degradation and infrastructure. A database was built with all of the information collected and made available to all communities. A gap analysis was completed to identify, based on the different studies that have already been completed, what needs to be completed and where to provide communities with all the tools to identify the vulnerabilities of their infrastructure. Furthermore, best practices of municipalities throughout the North were examined as they relate to assessments, impacts and adaptation solutions. Smart Management Fact Sheets were developed that are relevant to NWT communities. |
