642Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro31176BrazilRio de JaneiroC402014More intense rainfallExtremely seriousCurrentSystematic occurrence of storms, linked to local topography and occupation, dates back to the early history of the City and represents the most serious risk factor for the population, due to the landslides and flooding episodes. The tragic history of life and properties losses and the severe social and public health consequences contributed to the creation of the Operation Center COR – Centro de Operações Rio by the Municipality, in order to monitor and optimize the city functions. The Center seeks to anticipate solutions and minimize the occurrences, alerting the responsible sectors of the risks and the urgent measures to be taken in cases of emergencies such as heavy rainfall; Short duration or high density rainfalls should also exacerbate the degradation of urban forests, generating debris flows and rock falls. With increasing intensity of rains and winds, lagoons and other water bodies must suffer the acceleration of siltation and decreased water quality due to increased sewage discharges, re-suspension of sediments and decreased oxygen concentration, There should be greater input of sediment from the slopes to the lagoons in Barra da Tijuca and Jacarepaguá. In water supply and sanitation systems, there must be an overload on treatment plants, depending on the over-elevation of turbidity, fecal contamination due to heavy rainfall and increased run-off.(-22.9054389°, -43.5614471°)(-14.235004°, -51.92528°)

645Incheon Metropolitan Government44182South KoreaIncheon2014More hot daysSeriousCurrent- Health: increase in parasites and higher risk of allergy, and asthma - Disruption in ecosystem order(37.4562557°, 126.7052062°)(35.907757°, 127.766922°)
646District of Columbia31090USAWashington DCC402014More intense heat wavesSeriousCurrentAn unrivalled flurry of summer heat records have been set since 2010: * The hottest two summers on record (2010 hottest and 2011 second hottest)* Two of the top four hottest Junes on record (2010-warmest and 2011-tied for 3rd warmest with 1943) * Hottest June day and tie for second hottest June day (6/29/2012 at 104, and 2010 at 102 tied with June 9, 1874) * Hottest two Julys (2011 and 2010) * Hottest month (July 2011) * Most 90+ degree days in a month (July 2011, 25 days) * Earliest 100-degree reading in a day (July 6 2010, before noon) * Longest uninterrupted stretch of temperatures above 100 (July 6, 2010, 7 hours) * Longest uninterrupted stretch of temperatures above 80 (July 21 to 24, 2011 - over four days) * Most and second most nights above 80 degrees (7 in 2011 and 4 in 2010) * Warmest low temperature (84 on July 23 and 24, 2011 tied with July 16, 1983) * Hottest days so early (102 on June 9, 2011, tied with June 9, 1874) and late (99 on September 24, 2010) in the season. With such summer heat records, we anticipate 1) human health impact of an increase in morbidity and mortality within at-risk populations from extreme heat. 2) Decrease in energy system reliability in extreme weather events due to increased peak energy demand in extreme temperature events. 3) increased cooling loads (buildings)(38.9071923°, -77.0368707°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
647Prefeitura Municipal de Jaguaré48459BrazilJaguaré2014Reduced average annual rainfallSeriousMedium-termThe “Sistema Autônomo de Água e Esgoto” (Autonomous System of Water and Wastewater) - SAAE had in its dam at a low water level. This dam conducts water capture to supply the city of Jaguaré, as the municipality has several farms that also need water. It was necessary to be talking to the farmers in order them to give the water they had stored for human consumption, putting into effect the Law No. 9433(-18.9055979°, -40.0759038°)(-14.235004°, -51.92528°)
