Description
Projected increases in climate-driven hazards present growing challenges to utility infrastructure, operations, and services. SoCalGas has developed a quantitative methodology, called the Climate Adjustment Factor (CAF), to integrate forward-looking climate hazard projections to assess potential landslide hazards affecting gas transmission pipelines. This session will provide an overview of SoCalGas’s gas transmission system, how SoCalGas developed this unique methodology and applied it to potential landslide hazards, and ultimately how AI may continue to enhance climate projections to provide greater transparency around risk frequency estimates.
