While complete reports are not yet available for all pilot projects, some preliminary findings havebeen released. Table 5 summarizes recommendations made by a few of the participating agenciesabout the FHWA framework.New York Panel on Climate Change. Another leading framework for infrastructureadaptation was developed by the New York Panel on Climate Change (NPCC). 3 Althoughcreated specifically for New York City as part of the Climate Change Adaptation in New YorkCity report (2010), it is designed to be used in a variety of contexts, with region-specificadjustments related to climate risk information, critical infrastructure, and acceptable climateprotection levels. It provides a feedback loop comprised of eight steps designed to beincorporated into three processes: risk management, maintenance and operations, and capitalplanning. 4 The steps are illustrated in Figure 14 (NPCC, 2010).3 Refer to the NPCC Adaptation Assessment Guidebook: http://www.nyas.org/publications/Media/VideoDetail.aspx?cid=ba3dada7-4ed2-4cc4-96f3-0680e7c7be044 The FHWA Model overlaps with Steps 1, 2, and 3 of the NPCC framework.64

Local Governmentts for Sustainability (ICLEI) embraces asimilar feedback loop, which includes front-loaded assett inventory and climate stressor datacollectionsteps, introduces the idea of establishing targets or thresholds for acceptable risk, andthen heavily emphasizes the development and implementation of adaptation plans. Thisframework is accompanied by proprietary modules and tools developed to assistwith theprocess.U.K. Highway Agency Adaptation Strategy Model. In the international context, perhapsthe most fully developed adaptation framework is that described in the U.K. Highway Agency’sClimate Change Adaptation Strategy, Volume 1. The Highway Agency Adaptation StrategyModel (HAASM) is a seven-stepprocess fordeveloping a climate change program. It provides amethod for prioritizing risk and identifies staff members responsible for different climate change65
