Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.
B-1 Before you can identify, develop, and propose strategies for climate change integration at your airport, you may need to build support. This appendix contains a blank template for com- municating about these risks with airport executives, as well as a completed version that you can reference for an example. Use the template on the following page to enter key information for your airport. Replace â<Enter text here>â with information specific to your airport. For examples of what to enter, hover over the text field on the blank template or see the âEXAMPLEâ template filled out on the subsequent page. You can find the template online by searching the TRB website (www. TRB.org) for ACRP Research Report 188: Using Existing Airport Management Systems to Manage Climate Risk.
