Roseville 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 9: Resilience and Env. Protection <br />Midwest $96 billion In damage and resulted In 440 deaths. (NOAH National <br />Centers for Environmental Information). <br />In addition, climate conditions affect the quality of life and life safety of <br />communities — particularly those populations especially sensitive to climate <br />impacts. Extreme weather events linked to climate change have the potential to <br />harm community member health In numerous ways. Rising temperatures, for <br />example, can result In a longer -than -average allergy season, erode air quality, <br />and prolong the stay and Increase the population of Insects, Increasing the risk <br />of vector-borne diseases. Climate Impacts also exacerbate economic challenges <br />that can directly impact the ability of at -risk populations to cope while creating <br />more exposure to dangerous living/working conditions and poor nutrition. <br />Strengthening community resilience Is rooted In an ongoing assessment of <br />potential vulnerabilities, anticipation of potential climate Impacts, development <br />and Implementation of strategies to address those vulnerabilities, and <br />communication and outreach to the members of the community. <br />Currentand Past/nA1atives <br />The City completed a draft Population Vulnerability Assessment and Climate <br />Adaptation Framework in November 2017. This report identifies habitats, <br />Infrastructure, and neighborhoods that are more vulnerable to climate change <br />risks and recommends adaptation strategies. <br />Policies <br />1.1. Develop an Adaptation Implementation Plan that will refine and apply the <br />adaptation strategies outlined In the Population Vulnerability Assessment and <br />Climate Adaptation Framework. The Plan should focus on community <br />outreach and garnering support for the final strategies and will begin the <br />process of developing public awareness and engagement In the adaptation <br />strategies. The Cltywill complete the Adaptation Implementation Plan during <br />the next Comprehensive Plan cycle (ending In 2030). <br />4. Renewable Energy <br />Goal <br />Support Increased adoption of renewable energy by protecting access to direct <br />sunlight and supporting the development of local renewable energy <br />Installations. <br />9 <br />
