| 551 | City of Lake Forest, IL | 57616 | USA | Lake Forest, IL | 2016 | Drought | (42.258634°, -87.840625°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | ||||||
| 552 | City of Lakewood | 54075 | USA | Lakewood | 2016 | Extreme hot days | Serious | Statewide average temperatures are projected to warm by +1.5°F to +4.5°F by 2050 under a scenario with low future emissions of heat-trapping gases, or by +3.5°F to +6.5°F with high future emissions. For later in the century, high emissions are projected to lead to continued further increases, to +5.5°F to +9.5°F. All these values are comparisons to 1971–2000 averages (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015). | Health and community | Emergency services | Energy | (39.7047°, -105.0814°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 553 | City of Lakewood | 54075 | USA | Lakewood | 2016 | Heat wave | Extremely serious | The highest summertime temperatures are projected to increase even more than average temperatures.Both extremely hot days and heat waves could increase in frequency, potentially several-fold if future emissions are high. Heat-related illnesses and mortality could increase. Increased road maintenance needs and road closures from heat-related problems (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015). | Health and community | Water | Transport | (39.7047°, -105.0814°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 554 | City of Lakewood | 54075 | USA | Lakewood | 2016 | Heavy snow | Extremely serious | Because warmer air can hold more moisture, models project that extreme precipitation events will be augmented, even in areas where total precipitation may decrease. In Colorado, heavy storms may increase in winter but not necessarily in summer. (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015). | Emergency services | Residential | Transport | (39.7047°, -105.0814°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 555 | City of Lakewood | 54075 | USA | Lakewood | 2016 | Drought | Serious | Most published research suggests that annual streamflows in all of Colorado’s river basins could be decreased. Peak streamflows are projected to come earlier in the year, by one to three weeks by mid-century, and late summer flows are projected to decrease (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015). | Water | Food and agriculture | Commerical | (39.7047°, -105.0814°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 556 | City of Medford | 58513 | USA | Medford | 2016 | Coastal flood | (42.3265°, -122.8756°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | ||||||
| 557 | City of Lakewood | 54075 | USA | Lakewood | 2016 | Forest fire | Less serious | The frequency and extent of wildfires in Colorado are projected to increase. Projections range up to a several-fold increase in area burned annually in the state; however, projections based on statistical models may become less accurate the more that temperatures and other climatic factors change. An increase in wildfires likely would lead to more destructive flooding, as burned areas are more susceptible to flooding and runoff of sedimentation and debris (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015). Due to Lakewood's proximity to the mountains, this has significant implications regarding flooding. | Health and community | Water | Emergency services | (39.7047°, -105.0814°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 558 | City of Lakewood | 54075 | USA | Lakewood | 2016 | Rain storm | Extremely serious | Because warmer air can hold more moisture, models project that extreme precipitation events will be augmented, even in areas where total precipitation may decrease. (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015). | Emergency services | Residential | Food and agriculture | (39.7047°, -105.0814°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 559 | City of Lakewood | 54075 | USA | Lakewood | 2016 | Air-borne disease | Serious | Heat-related illnesses and mortality could increase; air quality could be degraded by increases in ground-level ozone, fine particulates, and airborne allergens; and changes in outbreaks and the spread of infectious diseases could occur, but it is extremely difficult to predict these changes (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015). | Health and community | (39.7047°, -105.0814°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |||
| 560 | City of Lakewood | 54075 | USA | Lakewood | 2016 | Insect infestation | Serious | Other risks include possible increases in the conditions suitable to outbreaks of tree-killing insects (The Colorado Local Resilience Project, 2015). | Residential | Health and community | Energy | (39.7047°, -105.0814°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 561 | City of Lancaster | 54057 | USA | Lancaster | 2016 | Drought | Serious | The State's drought has a serious impact on Lancaster because of the water restrictions which impact current and future residents. Business is also impacted because development cannot take place if an adequate water supply is not available. Lancaster has a farming community which is also impacted by the decreased availability of water. | Water | Commerical | Food and agriculture | (40.0379°, -76.3055°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 562 | City of London, ON | 50558 | Canada | London, ON | 2016 | River flood | Extremely serious | Flooding of the Thames River and creeks feeding into the Thames. Flooding outside of river areas due to rainfall exceeding stormwater sewer design criteria. | Water | Transport | Residential | (42.9837°, -81.2497°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
| 563 | City of London, ON | 50558 | Canada | London, ON | 2016 | Heavy snow | Less serious | Warmer lake temperatures increase severity of snow squalls in early winter. Snowfall in recent events have exceeded 1 metre, and similar events in Buffalo produced over 2 metres of snow. | Transport | Commerical | Emergency services | (42.9837°, -81.2497°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
| 564 | City of Medford | 58513 | USA | Medford | 2016 | Insect infestation | (42.3265°, -122.8756°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | ||||||
| 565 | City of London, ON | 50558 | Canada | London, ON | 2016 | Cold wave | Less serious | Disruption of the jet stream flow results in periods where arctic air mass will sit farther south than normal (i.e., the "polar vortex'). Cold Weather Alerts are issued when the temperatures are forecast to be below -15°C. Vulnerable groups, such as homeless people, are susceptible to hypothermia. Prolonged cold temperatures increase the likelihood of water main breaks and frozen water pipes in buildings. | Health and community | Water | Emergency services | (42.9837°, -81.2497°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
| 566 | City of London, ON | 50558 | Canada | London, ON | 2016 | Heat wave | Less serious | Heat waves are expected to increase in frequency and intensity. Vulnerable populations, especially those without air conditioning, exposed to heat-related illnesses. | Health and community | Emergency services | Residential | (42.9837°, -81.2497°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
| 567 | City of London, ON | 50558 | Canada | London, ON | 2016 | Severe wind | Serious | Storms with high winds (including tornadoes) are expected to increase in frequency and intensity. Damage to property and disruptions to electricity distribution due to fallen trees and tree limbs. | Energy | Residential | Emergency services | (42.9837°, -81.2497°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
| 568 | City of London, ON | 50558 | Canada | London, ON | 2016 | Drought | Less serious | London gets its water supply from Lake Huron and Lake Erie, therefore the water supply is secure. However, extensive drought can place high demand on water supply for irrigation. Street trees are vulnerable to drought conditions. | Food and Agriculture | Water | Residential | (42.9837°, -81.2497°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
