Project Background

Extreme weather is becoming more common in the Shasta Region in recent years. Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) is developing the ResilientShasta Extreme Climate Event Mobility and Adaptation Plan in order to ensure that our region’s transportation network is prepared to handle future extreme weather events and keep people and goods moving.

The following survey is meant to engage you on your experiences with extreme weather events, as well as feedback on the vulnerability assessment (draft can be found here) and adaptation plan efforts. We know your time is precious, and we greatly appreciate your responses.
The following are extreme weather impacts being evaluated by the ResilientShasta project: 
Extreme temperatures
Extreme precipitation (e.g., rain, snow)
Wildfires
Flooding
Landslides

Some terms used in this survey are defined here for your convenience:

Extreme weather events: Extreme weather events (including extreme temperatures, precipitation, fires, landslides, and floods) are conditions at the extreme ends of the range that has been experienced in the past, including conditions that can cause damage and disruption to infrastructure and nature.

Extreme weather vulnerabilities: A vulnerability to extreme weather exists when transportation infrastructure is exposed to damage or disruption from anticipated extreme weather events.

Adaptation: The practice of anticipating and preparing for extreme weather events to reduce potential damage/disruption and the increased costs associated with recovery and repair.

Resilience: The capacity of a community's ability to mitigate, adapt, or recover from negative impacts of extreme weather on infrastructure systems (e.g., roads, bridges, public transit, street lights) to restore, maintain, or even improve their essential functions.

Shasta mobility infrastructure: Mobility infrastructure constitutes all systems that enable the residents of the Shasta region to move around freely and easily, including the necessary physical and organizational components such as streets and roads, multi-use paths, transit agencies, ride hailing services and beyond.
