SUMMARY:Online Presentation: Sea Change in Marine Forecasting & Fishing Safety: Navigating Weather Resources & Relationships in Commercial Fisheries
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nCommercial fish harvesters are one of the primary users of marine forecasts\, and rely heavily on these reports to manage weather hazards in their work at sea. Despite the intrinsic user-producer connection between forecasters and fish harvesters\, direct interaction between these groups remains relatively rare; this simultaneously limits mutual user/producer understanding and opportunities for meaningful co-production of forecast materials. Drawing from a series of qualitative studies of marine forecast production and fishing safety\, we explore aspects of this divide\, and evaluate fisher approaches to assessing and navigating marine risk. Finally\, we present three examples of public meteorological services actively working to build closer relationships with fish harvesters\, either by i) developing new products targeted to specific fisheries; ii) providing greater access to guidance informing marine forecasts; or iii) operationalizing forecaster/fisher interactions. \nPresenter\, Dr. Joel Finnis

SUMMARY:UN Ocean Decade Safe Oceans Lab Satellite Activity: 100% of at-risk communities recognized Tsunami Ready
DESCRIPTION:Session 1: CEST 12:00-13:00 or Session 2: 19:00-20:00 CEST (same workshop is offered twice to accommodate time zone differences). \nREGISTER HERE: https://oceanexpert.org/registerEvent/3420 \nAs part of the 5th Ocean Decade Laboratory (5-7 April) you are invited to join the “100% of at-risk communities recognized as Tsunami Ready” Satellite Activity on 7 April 2022. \nThis side event will offer a virtual forum with local and national leaders who have successfully implemented the Tsunami Ready recognition process. The speakers will present their first-hand testimonials about the importance of tsunami preparedness to protect lives and achieving a safe ocean​​ and discover emerging experiences in implementing Tsunami Ready. \nThe online activity will directly engage a gender- and culturally-diverse group of stakeholders from across various ocean regions. They will share a hands-on perspective on early warning services from different angles: science\, warning dissemination and communications\, and disaster management. \nPlease note that the satellite activity consists of two sessions to be able to cover as many world regions as possible: 7 April 2022 – Session 1 (Europe/Asia/LAC): 12:00-13:00 CEST; Session 2 (Europe/LAC/South Pacific Islands): 19:00-20:00 CEST \nJoin us and be part of the change we need! \n \nIn December 2004\, 227\,8991 people lost their lives and around US$10 billion were estimated as overall economic losses in the 14 countries affected by the 9.1-magnitude Indian Ocean earthquake. In response the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (UNESCO/IOC) along with dozens of partners strengthened its support and catalyzed international cooperation to enable countries to assess their tsunami risk\, implement Tsunami Early Warning Systems (EWS) and educate communities at risk about preparedness measures. \nSince 2001\, that the United States National Weather Service (US NWS) of the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been implementing the recognition programme TsunamiReady® in its states\, territory and commonwealths. This programme was modelled after the US StormReady recognition programme. The goal was that communities recognized as TsunamiReady® would be better prepared to protect life and property through hazard assessment\, mitigation\, preparedness\, planning and warning coordination. \nSince 2015\, the UNESCO/IOC started to build its Tsunami Ready Programme based on the experience of USA\, first in the Caribbean\, where Tsunami Ready Guidelines were developed\, which were then approved by the IOC General Assembly. Subsequently\, in 2016\, UNESCO recognized St. Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean as Tsunami Ready\, and in 2017\, the communities of Cedeño in Honduras\, Ostional in Costa Rica\, and Savaia in Samoa in the Pacific. The programme grew naturally towards a global Tsunami Ready programme\, with communities recognized in 11 other countries\, and many more to come. \nThis satellite session will offer a virtual get-together forum for local and national leaders that have gone through the Tsunami Ready recognition process and can proudly attest of their work to protect lives making the Ocean safer. They have not been together before.

SUMMARY:Communicating Local Climate & Hazard Risk Information to At-Risk Residents - CHERP
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nThe Coast and Ocean Risk Communication Community of Practice (CORC CoP) sponsored by the Marine Environmental Observation\, Prediction\, and Response Network (MEOPAR) cordially invite you to attend a one-hour presentation entitled\, Communicating Local Climate & Hazard Risk Information to At-Risk Residents with presenter Dr. Ryan Reynolds\, the lead researcher and developer of CHERP (Canadian Hazards Emergency Response and Preparedness Application). The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session facilitated by Dr. Joel Finnis\, a Co-Lead of CORC CoP and Associate Professor\, Memorial University of Newfoundland. There is no charge for the presentation but please register here to obtain your Zoom Meeting link. We look forward to having you join us! \n\nCanadian communities are increasingly seeking new ways to communicate information about climactic environmental hazards to their residents. At the same time\, their residents are asking for more detailed information from community and regional officials than the static websites and 10-item checklist PDFs of yesteryear. Our team set out to help communities make it quicker and easier for their residents to learn about local hazards\, take steps to prepare\, and take informed response actions should the need arise. \nThe Canadian Hazards Emergency Response & Preparedness (CHERP) mobile app is the first tool resulting from a partnership between our research team at UBC and several communities on Vancouver Island. The goal of the CHERP app is to help educate community residents about hazards in their communities and assist them to create emergency plans that incorporate local hazard\, planning\, and emergency response information while also adapting to the unique needs of household members and pets. In this talk\, Dr. Reynolds will describe some of the motivations\, challenges\, and goals behind the development of the CHERP app along with our plans for Phase II of the project. \nPRESENTER\nDr. Ryan P. Reynolds\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\nSchool of Community and Regional Planning\nUniversity of British Columbia \nDr. Reynolds’s research aims to help Canadian communities and households to better understand\, prepare for\, and respond to local hazard risk. His work combines elements from geospatial modelling\, risk communication\, and application development to assess and communicate hazard risk and vulnerability at the community\, neighbourhood\, and household scales. His research focuses primarily on tsunamis and related coastal hazards in Canada\, with special attention to communities on Vancouver Island. Ryan joined the Resilient-C research group in SCARP as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in September 2017 and is the lead researcher and developer for the CHERP research initiative.

SUMMARY:On Updating Climate Extremes Related Engineering Design Values in a Warming Climate
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium \nPresenter: Dr. Mohamed Ali Ben Alaya\nWhen: January 27\, 2022 – 3:00pm to 4:00pm\nWhere: This talk will be held over Zoom Meetings. \nPlease register here: https://pacificclimate.org/news-and-events/seminars/updating-climate-extremes-related-engineering-design-values-warming-climate \nThe recurring devastation caused by climate extremes highlights the need for reliable estimates of their intensity and frequency. In this talk\, we describe our attempts to address two recent challenges related to updating engineering design values in a warming climate. The first challenge deals with probable maximum precipitation (PMP)\, a parameter often used for dam safety and civil engineering; we aim to conceive an appropriate way to use regional climate models (RCMs) allowing a more physically based estimation of the PMP in a warming climate. The second is related to the uniform risk engineering practices that are increasingly being adopted for structural design. In such a case\, estimates of extreme precipitation or wind loads with very low annual probabilities of exceedance\, corresponding to return periods of up to 2000-years are required. We will sketch how such design practices\, that aim to meet mandated structural reliability criteria\, take into account the sampling uncertainty of long period estimates\, and discuss how reliability could be compromised if estimates are also biased. Finally\, I will express my genuine appreciation for the need to address climate change from a holistic and interdisciplinary perspective through a distinct formulation of the problem.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Public Trust in Changed Forecasts: Evidence from Atlantic Canada and Hurricane Dorian
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPublic Trust in Changed Forecasts: Evidence from Atlantic Canada and Hurricane Dorian \nAmber Silver\, Joel Finnis\, Brandon Behlendorf\, and Emily Reid-Mussond \nHurricane Dorian affected large swaths of the Caribbean and the eastern coast of the United States\, before making landfall in Atlantic Canada—first in Nova Scotia\, and then again in Newfoundland. Although this storm was well forecasted\, by both the National Hurricane Center (USA) and the Canadian Hurricane Center (Canada)\, it was not without its controversies. In the United States\, the storm’s track was incorrectly extended into Alabama by then-President Donald J. Trump during a White House press briefing. This ignited a flurry of discussion about the effect of forecast accuracy and/or inconsistency on public trust. It also raised the question: How would end-users in Atlantic Canada perceive storm-related information as the hurricane moved towards the region? To understand the forecasting process within Canada\, including the (often-times) subjective decisions that forecasters make when developing their products\, and how Hurricane Dorian information was perceived and acted upon by members of the general public\, we conducted semi-structured interviews with Environment and Climate Change Canada forecasters and disseminated a large sample questionnaire to residents of Atlantic Canada. The research results and their implications will be discussed in the context of public safety and probabilistic forecast potential. \nPresenter: Dr. Amber Silver\, Assistant Professor at the College of Emergency Preparedness\, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity\, at the University at Albany\, New York.

SUMMARY:What’s That Sound? Tsunami Evacuation on Vancouver Island
DESCRIPTION:It’s 3am on an early Tuesday morning\, and you wake to the sound of a warning siren. You realize it’s your community’s tsunami warning system\, and listen as it broadcasts instructions to evacuate the tsunami inundation zone and seek shelter on higher ground. You aren’t sure if you live in the inundation zone or not. What do you do? \nWe conducted parallel door-to-door and online surveys to better understand how Port Alberni residents responded to this exact scenario on an early January morning in 2018. We wanted to learn how and when residents learned about the tsunami warning\, what actions they took to respond\, and where evacuees sought safety. We also wanted to explore residents’ views on how the evacuation was conducted by emergency officials and how the event may have changed their perceptions of tsunami risk in the community. Join us as we discuss some of our findings from over 450 public surveys and interviews with 11 community and regional emergency officials in the Alberni Valley and highlight some best practices to improve future evacuations. \nPlease visit this link to register:   https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_mzAyBYAdTG6XCK-Z2AjcUg \nDr. Ryan Reynolds (Post-Doctoral Fellow\, University of British Columbia\, School of Community and Regional Planning) \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Building Equity Using Nature-based Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nGreen infrastructure and nature-based solutions provide low-emissions urban planning approaches to climate impacts such as flooding\, heatwaves and air quality\, improved habitat for biodiversity\, and benefits for mental and physical health\, with the latter becoming even more important during the pandemic. However\, access to green space is not always equitable\, and without strategic planning these solutions can lead to gentrification and displacement. As interest in nature-based solutions accelerates across Canada\, it is essential that we embed equity considerations in their design. \nOn November 10 from 11am-12pm PT\, join ACT (the Adaptation to Climate Change Team)\, SFU and special guests Grant Fahlgren\, Chair of the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects’ Reconciliation Advisory Committee\, and Katherine Howard\, Project Manager for the City of Vancouver’s Parks and Recreation Services Master Plan\, for a webinar on the intersections between equity\, green infrastructure\, climate action\, and human health and well-being and ways to incorporate equity into climate and community planning. \nPresenters\n\nGrant Fahlgren\, Project Designer at PFS Studio and Chair of the Reconciliation Advisory Committee of the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects. \nKatherine Howard\, Project Manager\, VanPlay\, the City of Vancouver’s Parks and Recreation Services Master Plan. \nPaige Hunter\, ACT research assistant; student\, Simon Fraser University’s School of Resource and Environmental Management. \nDeborah Harford\, Executive Director\, ACT (the Adaptation to Climate Change Team)\, Faculty of Environment\, Simon Fraser University.

SUMMARY:Canadian Ocean Literacy Coalition: Virtual Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nThe Canadian Ocean Literacy Coalition (COLC) is an alliance of organizations\, networks\, institutions\, and communities working together to better understand and advance ocean literacy in Canada. Widely accepted internationally\, ocean literacy is defined as understanding our impact on the ocean and the ocean’s impact on us.\nThe Canadian Ocean Literacy Coalition’s (COLC) primary project since our inception in 2018 has been to lead a Canada-wide research initiative to better understand Canadians’ varying relationships with the ocean and to examine how ocean literacy (OL) is understood and practiced across different regions and sectors. The aim of this work is to establish a baseline seascape of OL in Canada\, and in so doing\, to co-develop an evidence-based national OL strategy and implementation plan.\nRegional and National Findings to be shared June 22-23! \nThe virtual workshop will take place over two days\, June 22 and 23\, with 6 one-hour sessions offered (3 sessions / day) as an opportunity to discuss\, validate\, and advance findings and recommendations to have emerged through the regional consultation and engagement phase. Outcomes of the virtual workshop will guide the final phase of drafting the national ocean literacy strategy and implementation plan. \nMonday June 22nd\n10:30 – 11:30am EDT: Atlantic\n12:00 – 1:00pm EDT: St. Lawrence\n1:30 – 2:30pm EDT: Pacific \nTuesday June 23rd\n10:30 – 11:30am EDT: Inuit Nunangat\n12:00 – 1:00pm EDT: Inland Canada\n1:30 – 2:30pm EDT: National \nParticipation is open to anyone who is already a member of the COLC network\, has participated in the study\, or is more broadly interested in Canadian ocean literacy. Participants are welcome to join multiple sessions!
