Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future8The District currently experiences an average of 10 days per year with greater than 1 inch of rain in a given 24-hour period. That number is projected to increase to 12 days by the 2050s and 13 days by the 2080s. The number of days per year with more than 2 inches of rainfall per 24-hour period is expected to increase, to an average of 3.5 days per year by the 2050s and between 3.5-4.5 days per year by the 2080s. Changes in rainfall volumes have a significant impact on drainage infrastructure and flooding (see also coastal, flash/surface flood). As precipitation patterns become more intense and frequent, the effectiveness of new construction projects designed to alleviate flooding and/or upgrades to existing stormwater and wastewater infrastructure to mitigate flooding will need to be evaluated.

Inequalities also exist in other areas, with significant gaps in educational attainment (a 5x difference in bachelor's degree attainment across DC's wards); health outcomes (the infant mortality rate in Ward 8 is 10x greater than in Ward 3); and other factors such as violent crime. According to a study by Brown University, DC is also the sixth most racially segregated of large US cities. The long-term consequences of these inequalities are particularly concerning. Research has linked inequality to lower consumer spending, higher social friction, lower political involvement, and reduced socioeconomic mobility. Further inequality can erode communities' social capital, negatively influencing our ability to respond to shocks. As a FEMA employee said in one of our recent resilience workshops, "friends and neighbors are often the first responders in many large scale emergencies." Inequality is deeply interconnected with DC's other resilience challenges, and its many manifestations must be addressed to enable more resilience across the District. Low-income residents may lack the financial resources to shelter in place or evacuate during an emergency, and may not be able to rebuild or find new affordable housing following a disaster. They are also less likely to have the resources to make upgrades to their homes or afford increasing utility bills.

The extent to which this is true became evident during the 2013 government shutdown, during which most Federal operations were suspended for 16 days. The economic impact of the shutdown was $140M, which disproportionately affected DC's low-income residents -- a freeze on our budget authority prevent payments to managed care organizations serving 220,000 low income residents; lower wage contract workers were not reimbursed for their time; and vulnerable populations are largely employed in hospitality, retail, and other service jobs that were the first private sector jobs experiencing layoffs during the shutdown. In 2018/2019 DC experienced an even longer shutdown lasting 35 days. The costs of that shutdown are still being tallied, but estimates are that it cost the District over $47 million in local revenue. Our challenge is to improve resiliency in a city so dependent on an industry that is both inaccessible to large sections of our lower skilled residents, and which can disproportionately affect such residents when it experiences shocks.
