High emissions projections show that by the end of the century, Chicago summers could be similar to those in Baton Rouge today. Chicago is working proactively to respond to climate change by advancing policies and solutions to prepare for a changing climate and protect our people, infrastructure, and natural resources. Key actions that Chicago is taking include: • Preparing for the human impacts of climate change by supporting people with information and services, such as cooling centers.• Preparing the natural environment for climate impacts and maintain biodiversityThe City of Chicago understands that extreme weather conditions can have a severe impact on the health and safety of the residents of Chicago. Whether the City experiences an extended heat wave, frigid temperatures or severe storms, the City must be prepared to assist Chicagoans in coping with weather-related hardships. As such, the City of Chicago maintains an Extreme Weather Operations Plan. This Plan describes weather conditions that will merit the plan’s initiation, defines notification protocols for weather advisories, and describes departmental responsibilities and City operations during periods of extreme heat, cold, or severe storms. The Extreme Weather Operations Plan is maintained by the Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC) and, with the cooperation of participating City departments and sister agencies, is reviewed annually, and updated as needed.27140172016{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-87.6298, 41.8781]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947

1266201860599Town of Bridgewater, NSBridgewaterCanadaNorth AmericaCDP CitiespublicHazard resistant infrastructure design and constructionCompletePijinuiskaq Park was the first project completed in the first phase of Bridgewater’s Downtown and Waterfront Master Plan. The objective was to take back the river valley and create an active public space for residents through design resilient to the flooding of the LaHave River. The comprehensive design transformed a 2.5 block stretch of King Street from building face to water’s edge, forcing the demolition of a 1960’s parking structure that hung over the shoreline which was structurally at risk in the event of a flooding of the LaHave river. Fundamentally, the design persuaded business owners and residents to shift away from a car-oriented mindset by successfully demonstrating that public open space, not parking, can been the catalyst for the revitalization of a downtown and an overall healthier community.85322016{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-64.5188, 44.3786]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947

The study will identify portions of the City where the need to improve resilience is the highest and prioritize those areas for adaptation measures and funding of infrastructure improvements. The study shall consider the areas that:1. Are below, at, or near the average water level2. Have a hydrological connection to coastal waters3. Are designated as evacuation zones for storm surge4.

The City was recently awarded $5.9 million from Louisiana's Strategic Adaptation for Future Environments (LA-SAFE) program, which allocated approximately half of Louisiana's award for the National Disaster Resilience Competition. Further, the City is working with other State and Federal partners to secure additional funds that will improve the flood risk profile of the area utilizing structural and non-structural mitigation measures that balance the need for flood mitigation, recreation and the District's suburban design deficits. Additionally, the City is actively incorporating green infrastructure BMPs into all relevant major capital projects.179352017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-90.0542, 29.9164]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947

Libraries are well located and accessible in communities throughout Metro Atlanta. Their relationship to the community and the services they offer need to be reinforced and strengthened to transform libraries into a comprehensive community resource. Libraries represent a safe space that not only provides access to technology, education, and other support services but also a space to gather and promote social connectivity. New programming could include: a yearlong one-book program to promote shared conversations across communities, ages, and races; equipping libraries to become cooling centers during extreme heat events; or providing seed libraries to support local growers4501822017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-84.388, 33.749]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947

These effects are mainly floods and landslides, each one having specific actions designed to mitigate and adapt. These actions are described in this same question, under the "landslide" and the "river flood" and "flash / surface flood" hazards. Rio Operations Center (COR) is responsible for crisis management during rain storms, together with the Municipal Civil Defense and Alerta Rio, meteorology office from the City Hall. AlertaRio provides weather forecast and storm alarms and has a dedicated meteorological radar, which improves the ability of short term forecasting rain storms (nowcast) in the City.

1298201863941Broward County, FLBrowardUnited States of AmericaNorth AmericaCDP CitiespublicSalt water intrusionWater use restrictions and standardsOperationBroward County's NatureScape Irrigation Service (NIS) is a water conservation program offered in partnership with 20 county and municipal agencies. The goal of the NIS is to reduce urban water consumption and improve the quality of surface waters through efficient irrigation and environmentally-friendly landscape practices. The NIS program targets large properties, such as government facilities, parks, commercial sites and multi-family residential complexes, where water conservation efforts can produce the greatest water savings. Savings typically exceed several hundred thousand gallons annually and, in some cases, one million gallons. The result is a savings in not only water, but energy, time and money. Since 2005, the NIS team has completed over 2,700 evaluations with Actual Water Savings exceeding one billion gallons.In 2010, Broward County ordinance adopted year-round irrigation restrictions:In general, NO watering of lawns and landscapes is allowed on Monday, Tuesday, and Fridays. Residences and businesses with an odd-numbered street address may water lawns and landscapes on Wednesdays and/or Saturdays, only before 10:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m.Residences and businesses that use reuse water for irrigation are allowed to water all days, except between 10 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Special exceptions may also apply if using a smart irrigation soil moisture sensor controller.Residences and businesses with an even-numbered street address, no street address, or those who irrigate both even and odd addresses within the same zones, which may include multi-family units and homeowners associations, may water lawns and landscapes on Thursdays and/or Sundays, only before 10:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m.18700002014{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[80.3659, 26.1901]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947
