When the National Weather Service issues a Heat Advisory (Heat index of 108 F for two consecutive days), the City of Houston may open cooling centers in the interest of public health. The City will activate the Heat Emergency Management Group that will publicize the opening of the cooling centers. They are city facilities open during normal business hours. On weekends, hours may be extended at a few locations. 311 takes calls for transportation and METRO provides free transportation to the cooling centers.23499932016{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-95.3694, 29.7602]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947

466201858513City of MedfordMedfordUnited States of AmericaNorth AmericaCDP CitiespublicCoastal floodFlood defences – development and operation & storageScopingWe have created GIS maps of Medford that includes flood probability due to sea level rise and storm surge by 2070. As Medford is located on the Mystic River, a naturally tidal river that has since been dammed, sea level rise will impact the levels of the river, which will therefore impact flooding. According to some studies, the dam may be overtopped by 2050, which will pose an even more serious flooding risk for Medford residents. The City would need to collaborate with the US Army Corps of Engineers and surrounding municipalities to decide what needs to be done.577972017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-122.876, 42.3265]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947

London benefitted from that action in the construction of Fanshawe Dam upstream on the North Thames River and assembling floodplain lands along 43 km of river shoreline into a parkland corridor of parks and open spaces. A system comprised of both CA and City owened and operated river water flow gauges document flood conditions.3838222016{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-81.2497, 42.9837]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947

The City of Adelaide signed up as a project partner in the Glenelg to Adelaide Park Lands recycled water project (GAP); a landmark project developed by the South Australian Government with funding from the National Water Commission. The project delivers a sustainable supply of up to 3.8 billion litres annually of recycled water for the Adelaide Park Lands and City of Adelaide. Most significantly, this long-term solution is not dependent on other water sources, including the River Murray. The use of recycled water allows Adelaide residents and visitors to enjoy the full use of our Park Lands while conserving valuable water resources.239162017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[138.601, -34.9285]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947
