853Canberra43928AustraliaCanberra2016Heat waveExtremely seriousIn Canberra, a heatwave is a series of more than three days with maximum daytime temperatures over 35°C without sufficient night-time cooling temperatures below 23°C. Temperature extremes can have considerable impacts on health, infrastructure and ecosystems.Health and communityEmergency servicesFood and Agriculture(-35.3075°, 149.1244°)(-25.274398°, 133.775136°)
854Canberra43928AustraliaCanberra2016Flash/surface floodSeriousCanberra has been designed to cope with flash flooding from intense rain events. However with increasing intensity of storms, the design of the city and the ability of its existing infrastructure to cope will be tested. Additionally, an increase in storm frequency and/or intensity will increase demands on our emergency services.WaterEmergency servicesHealth and community(-35.3075°, 149.1244°)(-25.274398°, 133.775136°)
855Canberra43928AustraliaCanberra2016Land fireExtremely seriousThe Forest Fire Danger Index (FFDI), used in NSW and the ACT to quantify bushfire hazard levels, combines the weather factors of temperature, humidity and wind speed with an estimate of the fuel's state of dryness. The ACT is projected to experience an increase in both average and severe FFDI in the near and far future. The current ACT average of 1.1 severe fire weather days per year is projected to increase to 7 days per year by 2030 and 19 days per year by 2070.Health and communityEmergency servicesResidential(-35.3075°, 149.1244°)(-25.274398°, 133.775136°)
856Cheongsong County48518South KoreaCheongsong 2016Rain stormSeriousCheongsong County has the higher potential for landslide due to the increase of concentrated precipitation because forest areas are composing 80% of the region.

864City of Adelaide32480AustraliaAdelaide2016Heat waveSeriousThe increase in incidence in heatwaves and extreme heat is expected to particularly adversely impact the health, safety and wellbeing of vulnerable members of the community. These are those members of the community who are already vulnerable due to poor mental or physical health, are isolated by a lack of mobility or transport options and/or are highly dependent on particular facilities or support.Health and communityEmergency servicesCommerical(-34.928499°, 138.600746°)(-25.274398°, 133.775136°)
865City of Adelaide32480AustraliaAdelaide2016Extreme hot daysSeriousIncreased heatwaves and extreme heat will also influence the Region’s amenity and attraction as a place to live, do business and visit. Visitation to outdoor activity centres is likely to reduce during extreme climate events such as heatwaves and intense rainfall, thereby impacting on local businesses and the economy. Conversely visitation to indoor mall style environments may increase, as people seek out or retreat to protected areas to socialise and shop. Participation in events, celebrations and activities will also be impacted. Continuity of services will be affected due to disruptions to electricity services.Health and communityCommericalFood and agriculture(-34.928499°, 138.600746°)(-25.274398°, 133.775136°)
866City of Adelaide32480AustraliaAdelaide2016DroughtSeriousClimate change will impact the condition of natural landscapes and other formal green spaces (such as parks) due to warmer and drier conditions and climate extremes such as heatwave. Remnant native vegetation may experience declining condition as a result of drying, plant loss, and introduction of disease and may also be damaged by bushfire. Existing biodiversity threats including pest plants and animals may become greater as pest plants and animals are often opportunistic and have a greater ability to respond to disturbance than native species. The effect will vary for open and green spaces across the Region depending on their access to irrigation.WaterHealth and communityFood and agriculture(-34.928499°, 138.600746°)(-25.274398°, 133.775136°)

882City of Knoxville54048USAKnoxville2016Extreme hot daysSeriousDue to the potential for fatalities and the possibility for the loss of electric power due to increased strain on power generation and distribution for air conditioning, periods of extreme heat can have detrimental impacts in the planning area. The impacts of extreme cold in the planning area have been primarily associated with agricultural losses. However, extreme cold can also cause injury such as frostbite or in extreme situations, death.Food and agricultureHealth and communityEnergy(35.9606°, -83.9207°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
