1351Municipalidad de La Paz50364BoliviaLa Paz2016Other: Vulnerabilidad de la salud humanaSeriousLa salud humana es el resultado de las interacciones de múltiples factores culturales, socioeconómicos y de medio ambiente. Dentro de los factores medioambientales, el clima y sus variaciones son elementos determinantes, modifican los parámetros fisiológicos básicos como la regulación del ciclo y ritmo cardiaco, la temperatura corporal, la circulación sanguínea, la regulación hidroeléctrica y alteraciones del sistema inmunitario, efectos que incrementan la vulnerabilidad del organismo ante las diferentes enfermedades.

1352Municipalidad de La Paz50364BoliviaLa Paz2016Other: Vulnerabilidad de la seguridad alimentariaSeriousLos impactos previstos en las actividades agropecuarias en el altiplano, debido a la disminución de aporte en recursos hídricos de los glaciares se están revelando por: reducción en la productividad agrícola, pérdidas de cultivos por heladas mas intensas y frecuentes, y aumento en los costos de reparación de los suelos para la siembra. En cuanto a las actividades pecuarias se evidencia la reducción en los productos cárnicos del ganado y producción lechera, pérdida de peso del ganado por consumo de energía, para búsqueda de agua; reducción de forraje para el ganado, de la producción lechera y de la calidad de carne del ganado. Adicionalmente, se han identificado impactos sociales referentes al incremento de la tasa de migración del campo a la ciudad, generando un desabastecimiento de productos agropecuarios en los mercados de la ciudad de La Paz, creando una mayor presión social y un descontento que se traduciría en una posible crisis socialFood and agricultureHealth and communityEmergency services(-16.5°, -68.15°)(-16.290154°, -63.588653°)

1389Auckland Council43932New ZealandAuckland C402016WildfireSeriousThere is a risk of wildfire in forested areas to the west (Waitakere Ranges), south (Hunua Ranges), northwest (Woodhill Forest), north (Mahurangi Forest) and east (Gulf Islands). Fires in these areas can be caused by agricultural burn-off getting out of control, arson, careless activities such as campfires in restricted locations, or natural causes such as lightning strikes. Weather contributes significantly to the risk of wildfire. Prolonged drought can provide tinder dry conditions and strong winds can buffet and spread wildfire easily. Auckland Council undertakes a Regional Wildlife Threat Analysis to assess the vulnerability.Food and AgricultureFood and agricultureResidential(-36.815328°, 174.741788°)(-40.900557°, 174.885971°)
1390City of Knoxville54048USAKnoxville2016WildfireLess seriousHeavily wooded or forested areas cover less than 25 percent of Knox County’s total land area. However, when the conditions are right, these areas become vulnerable to wildfires. Also, in the last few decades, the risks associated with Knox County’s wildfire hazard have increased due to the increase in wildland/urban interface (areas where development occurs within or immediately adjacent to wildlands, near fire-prone trees, brush, and/or other vegetation), more and more structures and people are at risk. However, with the history of no fatalities or injuries and no structural damage during the 2006-2010 reporting period, the potential magnitude/severity of impact is considered to be “negligibleHealth and communityCommericalEmergency services(35.9606°, -83.9207°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
