As extreme weather events increase in frequency and severity, the potential impact on safe and reliable operation of process plants should be evaluated. An effective site-wide response plan can be created by conducting a Climate Risk Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) as an add-on to PHA or as a standalone study. This paper presents the systematic tool of a CRVA, which evaluates vulnerability by reviewing climate forecasts and plant components and systems, to identify a set of hazards which have the potential to impact process plants during extreme weather events. Leveraging existing process safety information and existing engineering studies will be shared as a means to optimize efficiency. Historical basis of climate change events is covered in a previous paper.
