Our community has been experiencing the negative impacts of climate change on traveling, either out on the land or by vehicle, for a number of years now, and we have already started adapting strategies to minimize hazards while traveling. Now, when out on the land we always travel in pairs for safety and we bring extra supplies and first aid kits in the event we are caught suddenly by inclement weather. Our harvesters are becoming quite adept at assessing ice conditions and identifying potential hazards, and they are passing this knowledge on to younger generations. However, our community needs to review its policy on emergency funding with the potential likelihood of increases in travel accidents.
