So let's review what we've gone over so far. So we thought about our problem pathway, what happens between the exposure and the outcome that might explain why you're seeing this outcome amongst certain populations of interest. You've started to think about what your options are for doing something about that. Those are our adaptation actions. They might look like interventions or they might look like capacity-building activities. They might be a hybrid of both of those. But that you've started to think about what you can do to reduce whatever your outcome of interest is that's related to your climate sensitive exposure. And we thought about our stakeholders. We thought about who it is that's involved in the various processes that were starting to identify on this pathway. So w'vee thought about who our population of concern is. We've thought about who might be involved in some of these adaptation actions? And we thought of them in terms of the community readiness and implementation readiness respectively. And we've assessed that, we've given you some of the tools that you can use to do this type of readiness assessment. And so that's where we're going to jump into your homework assignment which are readiness assessments. So what we've done is we have put together a survey that will allow you to do an implementation readiness assessment and a community readiness assessment. And so what we want you to do is go back to that list of adaptation actions that you started thinking about in the beginning of this lecture. And so you have to so we want you to think about for your first adaptation action what of the implementer, so thinking about your stakeholders, which implementers do I understand the least? So if it's for adaptation action one, then you would know that you might need to do a readiness assessment because you don't really know what's happening within that particular group. Likewise, you'll do a readiness assessment or a community readiness assessment on another action. So you'll be asking yourself which community do I understand the least? So the idea of the readiness assessment survey is to really start to get an idea about if you needed to design an adaptation action, which you will be doing, who do you need to involve? And so let's start with the biggest piece of what we don't know and that's what the readiness assessments do. So let me explain how it would work. So for our examples, we had storm water flooding with the rain gardens was the possible action and then we have our wildfire psychological first aid. And so for storm water flooding, I have a pretty good idea of who would be doing that. It would probably be lets say my small group of neighbors who are really interested in rain gardens and they are tired of their apartments flooding. So they are just, there's a small group of us and we're going to do it. So I'm going to do a community readiness model or assessment on that. Because what I want to know as the implementer is how ready is my community to to take on some of the requirements of the the rain garden? I might do them, but are they going to help me maintain them? Are they going to be supportive of them? So I'll do a community readiness assessment for the for the rain gardens and storm water flooding. On the other hand, wildfire, I have a pretty good understanding about the community there. So I know that these might be people who, these are homeowners that are low income. They might have some already existing mental health issues. But I don't know yet what it would take to put together the psychological first aid training. And so I want to focus on my implementers, and so I'm going to do an implementation readiness assessment. And so I'm going to walk you through some of our simulated results. You won't stimulate your results will give you a link to both surveys for both the community readiness and your implementation readiness and you'll fill them out. They should take between five and ten minutes. But what's important here is you'll be interpreting the results for your homework assignment. This information, like what you have in weeks two and one, is going to keep building on each other and it will be used in further assignments, which relate to your adaptation action plan. So keep that in mind. So for our assessment scores, let's just review real quickly. So with implementation readiness were assessing motivation, general capacity, and the adaptation specific capacity. And then for community readiness, we're looking at community knowledge of the efforts and the issues, the climate, the community climate, and the leadership and resources. So for our implementation example here, we have our psychological first aid. We were interested in trying to understand how our implementers might feel about doing this. And so we scored them at fairly high on a scale of 1 to 10. So I should note that the implementation readiness scores are on a scale of 1 to 10, community readiness, 1 to 9. The scales don't matter as much because they're specific to each of these assessments. So for the implementation readiness our motivation scored really high. So this means that generally this is a group that really wants to do this work. But we scored the general capacity kind of low. So in general, let's say like within a hospital, this might be an organization that's so large that it's resistant to large change. So we scored that low, but we scored the adaptation specific capacity about halfway. So it's moderately there in terms of readiness. So this would be like, we know that we have people who would be willing to take the training and they've done training and they done continuing education. But they might not be as familiar or comfortable in talking about mental health. So these are the readiness scores that we would have for our implementation example, for psychological first aid it respect to wildfire. And we'll incorporate this later into our adaptation action plan. So going back to the community readiness model. So we did an example of community readiness for our rain garden. And so here's the score as you can see just assigned these numbers 1 through 9 for each of these stages. So to remind you, you look at the five constructs that are related to the community readiness model and your scoring them. And so in your survey, you'll be doing this. And so for our example, we scored the community knowledge of the effort at 3, which is related to vague awareness. So we thought this would be interpreted as something that somebody should probably be doing and maybe somebody else will work on it. That's where the community feels about the effort. The community knowledge on the issue we scored at a 4 which is the pre-planning phase. So the community might be thinking this is important, what can we do? The community climate, though, is also a 3, so it's vague awareness. You have some people who are interested in some people who are aware of this issue, but they might be waiting on somebody else to do it. Leadership though, right, us, our small group of neighbors who are really interested in doing this, are scored at us at a 7. They've taken this on, they've stated to themselves we have taken this responsibility. So the community readiness from that leadership area or leadership component is really high. And then we scored our resources at a 5. So this is kind of the idea, 5 is the stage of preparedness. So we're kind of saying, we're concerned about this and we want to do something about this. So I'm going to go meet with my funder tomorrow. So they're moderately ready in terms of the community. So these are the types of scores that you would get after finishing your readiness. So you will be doing an implementation readiness for one of your actions and then community readiness for one of your other actions. You might want to jot down or you might want to do both of them for the adaptation action that you're leaning towards picking. Because you will use that in your adaptation action plan at the end of the day. So just to review these steps for our example in wildfire. And wildfire, we were concerned about low income homeowners and their risk for mental illness. And we decided on an intervention that we're calling psychological first aid. And then we did an implementation readiness assessment for our stakeholders, who we identified as the Ed staff and First Responders and social workers. And so we've identified them as a highly motivated group, but work in a organization that has low general capacity. But they have moderate capacity to put on this first aid training. And so now I'm an informed practitioner. So ultimately at the end of you finishing your homework assignment, you will feel just like this little guy. And you'll be ready to jump into week four where we will design our adaptation plan.
