Métis Climate Change and Health Vulnerability Assessment (MCCHVA) (Opens in a new Window)
This comprehensive report examines the relationship between climate change and Métis health and wellbeing. The report reviews health vulnerabilities and Métis-relevant social determinants of health; climate risks by each governing area and type of hazard such as forest fire, extreme heat, and flooding; knowledge gaps; and, key areas for action by each Metis governing body. The report recognizes the unique environmental knowledge of the Métis Nation and the strength of their communities, which provide examples of resiliency that can be used in adapting to climate change. The report closes with recommendations.

Northwest Boreal Science and Management Research Tool (Opens in a new Window)
The Northwest Boreal Science and Management Research Tool contains curated scholarly articles, datasets, state and federal resource reports, land management plans, and more. Each entry includes geographic information about the area of study, allowing users to draw a box on a map to narrow searches to information directly related to a specific region in Alaska, the Yukon, British Columbia, and Northwest Territories. This project is a collaboration among Alaska Resources Library & Information Services (ARLIS), Alaska Climate Science Center, DataBasin, and Northwest Boreal Landscape Conservation Cooperative.

Wildfire Program (Opens in a new Window)
The Manitoba Fire Mapping Program provides an interactive map, as well as fire location maps formatted for viewing in Google Earth and as ESRI shapefiles. These operational map products are a compilation of data from various sources including the crews who suppress the fires, satellites, and hand rendered maps. The fire shapes and sizes may differ from the actual fire occurrence due to changing weather conditions and a variety of natural, electronic, and human factors beyond the control of Manitoba Conservation.

Z317.2-19, Special requirements for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in health care facilities (Opens in a new Window)

This standard applies to the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of HVAC systems in health care facilities. It includes commissioning, operational, maintenance, and monitoring requirements for HVAC systems that will reduce the risk of transmission of infection among building occupants, including patients, staff, and visitors. Clause 6 sets requirements for catastrophic event management for events such as those brought on by climate change. It requires that the health care facility develop and maintain contingency plans for the HVAC system in relation to a catastrophic event, or combination of events, that could reasonably be expected for its location. It includes backups in the case of temporary or extended periods of loss, as well as provisions for surge capacity, i.e., management of situations where there is a significant increase in the number of patients due to a disaster or other cause.
