This flowchart illustrates the structure of the Risk Assessment
Model. Throughout the flowchart, orange boxes indicate that the
step is outside the scope of the Risk Assessment pilot, while
green boxes indicate that the step is inside the scope. Light
green boxes indicate one of three primary components of the Risk
Assessment model, and they contain two or more dark green boxes
that represent specific steps of the Risk Assessment model. The
conceptual model consists of three primary components: inventory
of assets, climate information, and risk to assets and the
transportation system. The first two components can be
considered simultaneously, and aim to identify (a) which assets
are important to the transportation system, and (b) which
climate variables are likely to occur, and/or which variables
could experience a high-magnitude change. The third component
combines the results of the first two to assess how climate
changes could impact each important asset, and how significant
those impacts could be. At the
