Operational efficiency and human safety at mining and energy production sites is expected to be adversely affected by increases in extreme events , including storms, heavy rains, riverine flooding and wildfires . General remoteness of many mining sites  exacerbates risks related to emergency responses to extreme events such as wildfire . The 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire in Alberta, Canada, forced the evacuation of 88,000 people and the shutdown of mine operations. Damages were minimal because companies had undertaken proactive FireSmart interventions specifically developed for the industry . Onshore oil field production in Tabasco, Mexico, which accounts for 16% of the country's daily output, was interrupted by extensive flooding . Two-thirds of mine operators globally, including major operators in North America, have experienced production challenges related to water shortages and flooding . Water availability stress due to climate change is lower in Canada than in the USA and Mexico, and mines in Canada may be less exposed to this risk  with some exceptions, that is, water- intensive oil sands mining in the Athabasca River basin in Canada .Warming temperatures also have the potential to alter the nature, characteristics and quality of mineral resources such as kaolin or limestone .
