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°) |

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°) |
