Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Options Study
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) recognizes that the State’s transportation infrastructure is vulnerable to the impacts of extreme weather and climate events. To better understand and respond to these impacts, ODOT conducted a regional vulnerability assessment and adaptation options study. This pilot study identifies vulnerable highway corridors and evaluates a range of site-specific adaptation strategies that address landslides, coastal erosion, and storm surge hazards. The study was prepared with funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Climate Change Resilience Pilot Program. FHWA’s Vulnerability Assessment Framework was used to help guide our evaluation of state highways.
