60355415City of Columbia, SCUSANorth AmericaPublic2017River floodSeriousA historic flooding event, the greatest seen in Columbia in recent history impacted the Carolinas from October 1-5, 2015. A stalled offshore front combined with deep tropical moisture streaming northwest into the area, ahead of a strong upper level low pressure system to the west, and Hurricane Joaquin well to the east. This led to historic rainfall with widespread amounts of 15-20 inches and localized amounts over 25 inches, mainly in the Columbia area. Flash flooding was prevalent and led to significant damage to numerous properties and roads and many people having to be rescued by emergency personnel. As a result:1. Parts of Columbia experienced rainfall that exceeded once in a thousand year levels2. Almost 2 ft of rain fell in less than 48 hours. The average is 3 ¾ feet in a year.The city experienced great devastation. Homes and businesses were destroyed, vital infrastructure experienced millions of dollars in damage and lives were lost.ResidentialCommercialWater Supply & Sanitation

63243912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Rain stormSeriousRainstorms are defined as events that create a hazardous, prolonged or intense rainfall, with at least 80 mm of precipitation in a 24-hour period. Rainstorms would have the most significant direct impacts on the following asset and service areas: environment, food and agriculture, and emergency management.Developed areas of Edmonton have reduced capacity to absorb water. Rainstorms increase water volumes flowing into creeks, which can lead to soil erosion and impacts to aquatic species. Regarding food and agriculture, rainstorms can flood crops, leading to crop damage or loss. The stormwater drainage system can typically handle a rainstorm, but short-term and isolated flooding and disruption to road transportation is possible, with potential isolated evacuations and implications for emergency management services - in particular, if a rainstorm is city-wide. Following a rainstorm environmental health officers can receive a lot of requests for building inspections (specially in older buildings for things such as mold).Rainfall is typically good for agriculture; however, an event of this magnitude may cause some temporary waterlogging of fields. No specific vulnerable populations were identified.EnvironmentFood and agricultureEmergency Management
63343912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Heavy snowSeriousHeavy snow is a snowfall event of sufficient depth (at least 35 mm snow water equivalent, ~35 cm, in a 24 hour period) to cause significant inconvenience and hazardous conditions.A heavy snowfall event would have the greatest direct impacts on the following asset and service areas: emergency management, the built environment and electricity.A heavy snowfall causes transportation disruptions and can also increase the likelihood of car accidents with associated injuries and fatalities. It can also increase the incidence of heart attacks from snow shovelling. Both these impacts put additional stress on emergency management services and personnel. Newer homes and buildings in the city are designed to withstand a larger snowfall than 35 mm snow water equivalent; however, some older structures may be challenged by snow loads of this magnitude, with structural collapse a possibility, notably on buildings with flat roofs. The consequences for Edmonton's electricity grid could be widespread, but impacts would be short-lived and less serious. Heavy snow could cause an increase in outages, and at the same time increase response times. The extent of the impacts depends on the duration and timing of the event. A heavy snow event in May or September, when there are leaves on the trees, could cause significant tree damage and increase the likelihood of power outages. Snow often causes road accidents, and vehicles can strike electrical infrastructure.Vulnerable populations include low income individuals living in older, less structurally sound homes that are less able to withstand heavy snow loads. A power outage in the middle of winter can have a significant impact on the homeless and low income individuals and families. Individuals predisposed to heart failure and disease are also particularly vulnerable.Emergency ManagementOther: Built EnvironmentEnergy
63443912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Severe windSeriousSevere winds are described as straight-line winds or microbursts with wind gusts greater than 110 kilometers per hour.Severe wind has the greatest consequences for the following asset and service areas: built environment, environment, and emergency management.Regarding the built environment, severe winds can affect buildings and construction sites, potentially blowing siding, shingles, and solar panels off houses, blowing over cranes, or blowing debris off construction sites. Damage to buildings and property is exacerbated when winds are widespread and longer lasting. If widespread, a severe wind event impacting a major construction site could result in injuries and fatalities, with major implications for emergency management services. Severe wind can impact the environment, notably the urban canopy, damaging trees, which will increase maintenance costs and disrupt access to parks. Depending on the number of downed trees, this could have a major impact on waste management services, which is not equipped to collect tree debris. Other environmental impacts from severe wind could include soil erosion with potential consequences for vegetation germination, and mixing layers in the water column, which could lead to the development of cyanobacteria. Telecommunications and electricity transmissions infrastructure is built to withstand this level of wind event. However, electricity distribution lines could be impacted, with some isolated power outages. Vulnerable populations include the homeless and low income individuals and families. These populations have limited ability to take shelter during a severe wind event, and tend to live in older, lower quality homes that are less able to withstand winds without experiencing damage. These vulnerable populations also have difficulty evacuating and often don't have access to private automobiles.Other: Built EnvironmentEnvironmentEmergency Management
63543912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017TornadoSeriousTornados are violent and destructive, funnel-shaped rotating columns of air. An F0 tornado on the Fujita scale has estimated wind speeds of less than 117 kilometers per hour. These tornadoes would typically cause light damage to structures and trees. [A more destructive tornado is also considered below.]An F0 tornado would have the highest direct consequences for the following asset and service areas: waste water, air transportation, and the built environment.An F0 tornado directly impacting a wastewater treatment plant could cause instrumentation damage at secondary treatment facilities. This in turn could cause the release of raw sewage into the river, leading to environmental impacts such as fish kill, as well as impacts on other downstream in-situ (recreational) users and other consumptive users.An F0 tornado at the Edmonton International Airport could cause air transportation and freight delays, with indirect economic impacts. Impacts to the built environment depend on the location of the tornado; an F0 tornado in the downtown area has the potential to cause significant impacts, such as light damage to a large number of structures and injuries and fatalities. The same tornado on the outskirts of Edmonton will cause relatively less damage. Equally, a tornado forming and tracking over the east of the city (as opposed to the west) could impact fuel production and supply infrastructure, with potentially significant consequences (e.g., leaks, disruption to road fuel supply). However, the likelihood of a tornado hitting a surface facility is low. Vulnerable populations include the homeless and low income individuals and families. Vulnerable populations have limited ability to take shelter during a tornado, and tend to live in older, lower quality homes that are less able to withstand tornados. These vulnerable populations also have difficulty evacuating and often don't have access to private automobiles.Water Supply & SanitationTransportOther: Built Environment
63643912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Lightning/thunderstormSeriousA thunderstorm is a weather phenomenon produced by cumulonimbus clouds and accompanies by thunder and lightning.Thunderstorms were assessed to have the most significant direct impacts on the following asset and service areas; the built environment, emergency management and electricity.Thunderstorms can be considered a compound hazard, as they often involve the simultaneous occurrence of several hazards, such as severe hail, heavy rain, and high winds. Collectively, thunderstorms can cause property damage, particularly to older buildings which are not as well equipped to handle extreme weather. Thunderstorms (lightning) are one of the leading causes of power outages in the Edmonton area. Power outages can require an emergency response, particularly when they occur in the winter season. Thunderstorms can also trigger the alarm systems in buildings requiring a response by the city's Fire Rescue Services.No specific vulnerable populations were identified.Other: Built EnvironmentEmergency ManagementEnergy
63754113City of FlagstaffUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Flash/surface floodSeriousIncreased intensity of storms already overwhelming storm water system, posing threats to vulnerable and historic infrastructure, as well as to the safety and livelihood of citizens residing in flood prone areas. Increase in erosion and under cutting of roads and structures poses additional threat to longevity of these structures. Floods of this nature also restrict and impede transportation flow, affecting accessibility for community and emergency services. Potential for increase in flood and storm related injury/mortality.ResidentialTransportOther: Emergency services
63843912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017FogSeriousFog is the suspension of very small water droplets (or ice crystals in the case of ice fog), reducing horizontal visibility to less than 1 kilometer.The most directly impacted asset and service areas are: air transportation, road transportation and public health and safety. Fog at the Edmonton International Airport can impact the ability of airplanes to land and take off, leading to flight delays. Air transportation delays can have significant economic impacts, increasing business costs and disrupting production. Delays to passenger services also increase costs for individuals and detract from overall levels of well-being, Fog increases the likelihood of accidents on Edmonton's road network, which may result in injuries and fatalities. There is also a small chance that such accidents take out electricity distribution lines, leading to isolated outages.No specific vulnerable populations were identified.TransportPublic health
63943912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Other: BlizzardSeriousBlizzards are defined as severe winter storms with wind chill greater than 1600 watts per m2, wind speed greater than 40 km per hour, visibility less than one kilometer, the presence of snow, blowing snow or snow flurries, with a duration equal to or greater than 4 hours. Winter storms meeting these criteria are quite rare in the Edmonton area with only a handful of recorded events in the past 50 years.Blizzards have the biggest direct impact on the following asset and service areas: emergency management, public health and safety and the economy.Blizzards typically lead to an increase in traffic accidents, which can result in injuries and fatalities, including from stranded passengers who are affected by exposure to cold temperatures and wind chill. Blizzards (and concurrent traffic accidents) can limit access to certain routes and public health facilities, with adverse implications for emergency service vehicles.From an economic perspective, blizzards can affect the image and reputation of Edmonton - branding the city as an undesirable place to live and work. Economic costs can also stem from transportation disruptions, which could have temporary effects on local businesses in terms of customer and supplier access and lost output.Vulnerable populations could include the homeless who have limited ability to take shelter during a blizzard.Emergency ManagementOther: EconomyPublic health
64043912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017HailExtremely seriousHail is a precipitation consisting of ice particles, in various shapes, which are generally observed during thunderstorms. Severe hail has a diameter of 20 mm or more. Severe hail has the most significant and direct consequences for the following asset and service areas: road transportation, air transportation, and the stormwater system. Severe hail can block storm drains resulting in potential flooding and associated damage to infrastructure and transportation delays. Bridge structures can also be directly impacted by severe hail. Hail can also severely damage aircraft which is costly, and not easy, to repair and can also lead to significant delays in service for passenger and cargo transportation. Indirect impacts from transportation disruptions are primarily to economic and relate to financial loss and disruption of business operations.Severe hail will cause property damage to house roofs, siding, vehicles, sheds, etc., though the damage will tend to be localized. Most property damage is also insured. In addition, crops and community gardens will be damaged by severe hail events, but again the impacts will be localized.Vulnerable populations include the homeless and low income individuals and families. Vulnerable populations have limited ability to take shelter during a storm, and tend to live in older, low cost homes that are less able to withstand extreme weather events.TransportWater Supply & Sanitation
64143912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Other: Freezing RainExtremely seriousFreezing rain is rain that freezes on impact to form a coating of clear ice on the ground and on exposed objects. Freezing rain has the most severe impacts on the following asset and service areas: road transportation, electricity system, and information and communications infrastructure.Regarding the road network, freezing rain causes increased maintenance costs and can also lead to vehicle accidents with associated injuries and fatalities. Freezing rain on surfaces also increases the risk of slips and falls, leading to injuries.Freezing rain will affect electricity distribution infrastructure, leading to increased incidence of power outages, as well as delays in restoring power following an outage (due to concurrent disruption to the road network). High voltage lines will experience some sagging, but if they failed the impacts could be more widespread and significant. A major power outage affecting the downtown core would have major impacts.Information and communications infrastructure, primarily microwave towers, could also be impacted by freezing rain causing service losses. Indirect impacts associated with power outages and telecommunication disruption could be widespread, and affecting multiple service areas: water supply, buildings, rail transport, public health and safety and the economy.No specific vulnerable populations were identified.TransportEnergyInformation & Communications Technology
64243912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Other: Rain on SnowSeriousRain on snow events occur when precipitation (greater than 3 mm) falls as rain when snow is on the ground.The built environment is the most highly impacted asset or service area in Edmonton. The biggest risk for buildings is increased weight of snow loads and roofs, which can result in structural collapse. If sudden, this could result in injuries or even fatalities.Rain on snow events also increases the likelihood of people slipping and falling, leading to injuries that potentially require medical attention. Equally, road surfaces will become more slippery, increasing the risk of traffic accidents, or delays as drivers adjust to the slippery road surfaces.No specific vulnerable populations were identified.Other: Built EnvironmentTransportPublic health
64343912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Other: Low Flow in RiverSeriousA low-flow event in the North Saskatchewan River was defined as a flow rate of 63 cubic meters per second. This flow rate equates to an accepted "rule of thumb" for in-stream flow needs for aquatic life.Low flows in the river will have the greatest impact on the following asset or service areas: environment, emergency management and food and agriculture.Low flows can have significant consequences for aquatic life and vegetation. In the city, many natural wetlands that would hold water during dry periods have been lost, so periods of low flow can cause negative impacts on aquatic and terrestrial species and ecosystems.At this level of flow, water supply to the city would not be affected. Restrictions on water use would therefore be highly unlikely. A more severe low-flow event is considered below. No specific vulnerable populations were identified.EnvironmentEmergency ManagementFood and agriculture
64443912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Other: Freeze-Thaw CyclesSeriousFreeze-thaw cycles occur when maximum daily temperature exceeds 0oC, and minimum daily temperature falls below -1oC. Freeze-thaw cycles were assessed as having the greatest impact on the following asset and service areas: air transportation, the environment, and the built environment.Freeze-thaw cycles can cause infrastructure damage, particularly for asphalt on roads and airport runways, but also for buildings (particularly foundations). The consequences are primarily financial, with implications for repair and maintenance budgets. Nonetheless, potholes on road surfaces as a result of freeze-thaw cycles can damage vehicles (axles, suspension, tires), and potentially increase the risk of accidents. Cracked sidewalks also present a hazard for people, increasing the risk of falls.Freeze-thaw cycles also affect wildlife. For example, freeze-thaw cycles can change the composition of snow and ice on the ground and affect predator-prey relations (e.g., deer can break through crusty ice but coyotes run on top, potentially increasing ungulate mortality rates).No specific vulnerable populations were identified.TransportEnvironmentOther: Built Environment
64543912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Cold waveSeriousA cold wave is defined as a period of more than three consecutive days where minimum temperatures are at or below -40oC. Cold waves were determined to have the greatest impact on the following asset and service areas: rail transportation, health and community, and the economy.For the rail network, extreme cold temperatures can damage rail infrastructure (lines), causing transport disruption and economic impacts. Extreme cold also presents a risk to crews working outside.From an economic perspective, cold waves can affect the image and reputation of Edmonton - branding the city as an undesirable place to live and work. Economic costs can also stem from reduced economic activity as a result of workers unable to work outside (e.g., at construction sites) and increased heating and energy costs for businesses. The service sector may also experience a small reduction in sales during cold waves as people opt to stay at home.There is a small risk that water supply pipes may break, but the impacts would be very localized and rapidly repaired.There are proven associations between living at cold temperatures and a range of adverse health outcomes. Vulnerable populations, such as the homeless who have limited ability to take shelter during an extreme temperature event, and low income individuals and families who have limited ability to pay increased heating costs, are particularly at risk.TransportPublic healthOther: Economy
64643912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Extreme cold daysLess seriousA cold day is a day with minimum daily temperature at or below -40oC. The most impacted asset and service area is the built environment, with implications for space heating cost and energy use. In older buildings, mechanical systems may malfunction when cold days are accompanied by large variations in climate (cold day is preceded by relatively warm days); older systems have a harder time adjusting to the change.Adverse health outcomes are possible among vulnerable populations exposed to cold extremes. Vulnerable populations include the homeless who have limited ability to take shelter during an extreme temperature event, and low income individuals and families who have limited ability to pay increased heating costs.Other: Built EnvironmentPublic healthOther: Economy
64743912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Heat waveSeriousA heat wave is defined as a period of more than three consecutive days of maximum daily temperatures at or above 32oC.Rail transportation, emergency management, and public health and safety are the three most heavily impacted asset or service areas.Regarding the rail network, heat waves can lead to "sun kinks" on the rail line, damaging rail infrastructure and causing transport disruption, with indirect economic impacts due to supply/customer chain disruption. Heat waves can also impact road transportation, including bus transit services, causing overheating.Vulnerable populations, such as the homeless who have limited ability to take shelter during a heat wave, and low income individuals and families who have limited ability to pay space cooling costs (or have access to air conditioning), are particularly at risk to adverse health outcomes. Another vulnerable group are people who work outdoors. Individuals among these groups with existing pulmonary or cardiovascular conditions are most at risk. There are proven associations between heat stress and a range of adverse health effects. Health risks are compounded if extreme heat is accompanied by weather conditions conducive to the formation of smog or a general deterioration in air quality.An intense, long duration heat wave has potential to cause power outages associated with high air conditioning use and reduced efficiency on lines; accompanied by adverse health impacts associated with heat stress, this could lead to an emergency situation. Historically heat waves in Edmonton have not been as common as cold spells, and the city is not as prepared to deal with severe heat waves.TransportEmergency ManagementPublic health
64843912City of EdmontonCanadaNorth AmericaPublic2017Extreme hot daysLess seriousA hot day is a day with maximum daily temperature at or above 32oC.The most impacted asset or service area is the built environment, which will experience increased space cooling costs.A single hot day could give rise to adverse health outcomes among particularly vulnerable groups; individuals with existing pulmonary or cardiovascular conditions, living along, and unable to mitigate exposure or sensitivity to the heat due to socio-economic circumstances.There is a small risk of rail snaking. Users of public transport may also experience some discomfort due to overheating on buses.Other: Built EnvironmentPublic healthTransport
