Defence: Infrastructure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the level of resilience of military infrastructure to extreme weather events.
Answered by Al Carns
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) develops and delivers an annual programme to apply Climate Impacts Risk Assessment Methodology on a site-by-site basis, to specific locations. This includes the assessment of military infrastructure in respect of extreme weather events.
The MOD has a robust inspection process for buildings and accompanying infrastructure which highlights degradation and helps prioritise funding for upgrades.
