| 854 | 35878 | City of Sacramento | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Salt water intrusion | Serious | Sacramento’s location (70 miles inland coast) limits the most significanteffects from sea level rise. However, rising sea levels may lead to levee failures inthe Delta causing infrastructure damage, flooding, and saltwater intrusion intogroundwater aquifers that may affect Sacramento region groundwater sources. Itis also possible that sea level rise could reduce the effectiveness of Delta andnearby Delta levees, or increase flood levels in tidally affected reaches of theSacramento River, if storm flow and tide conditions coincide. An influx ofsaltwater would degrade California’s inland estuaries, wetlands, and groundwateraquifers. Saltwater intrusion could threaten the quality and reliability ofCalifornia’s biggest fresh water supply that is pumped from the southern edge ofthe Sacramento/San Joaquin River Delta. | Other: Water | Food and agriculture | Other: Health and community | |

| 881 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Cold wave | Serious | Cold waves do not disprove climate change, but rather reinforce its presence. Climate change is affecting global weather patterns, causing periods of extreme heat and extreme cold. Melting of sea ice and increasing temperatures at the poles causes changes in atmospheric circulation. This causes Arctic air from the poles to migrate to lower latitudes and creates cold waves. Cold waves are very dangerous for the vulnerable members of St. Louis' population, including the elderly and children. | Other: Health and community | Other: Commerical | Transport | |
| 882 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Drought | Extremely serious | As temperatures continue to rise, drought become more frequent and more severe. With higher temperatures, more moisture evaporates from the soil, creating very dry conditions. This climate hazard depletes drinking water supplies, lowers crop production and tampers with the region's water quality. Drought in St. Louis is a great risk for human health and wellbeing, agriculture, ecosystem health, and revenue. | Food and agriculture | Other: Water | Other: Health and community | |
| 883 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Extreme hot days | Extremely serious | Hotter weather as a result of climate change could increase the impact of pollutions on asthmatic populations | Food and agriculture | Other: Water | Residential | |
| 884 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Extreme winter conditions | Serious | Extreme weather conditions will come from higher humidity and warmer temperatures. The temperatures will warm, especially during the summer and spring increasing the amount of storms, and probability of severe storms. Therefore, the amount of snow should go down. | Transport | Other: Emergency services | Food and agriculture | |
| 885 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Flash/surface flood | Extremely serious | As the amount of precipitation over the St. Louis region will increase with climate change, we will see an increase in flash/surface floods as the region will experience heavier downpours unlike what it has seen in the past. | Residential | Food and agriculture | Other: All of the above | |
| 886 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Heat wave | Extremely serious | This is dependent on the amount of emisisions. The temperature will be warmer in high and low emissions scenarios. Some predictions indicate heat waves that rival the Chicago 1995 heat wave about 6 times every summer. | Other: Health and community | Food and agriculture | Other: Water | |
| 887 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Hail | Less serious | With an increase in CO2 emissions and global warming, the amount of energy available for storms when they do happen will increase. This will lead to larger and more frequent hailstorms that can wreak havoc on infrastructure. Essentially, climate change will provide more favorable conditions for hail storms to occur. | Transport | Residential | Other: Commerical | |
| 888 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Insect infestation | Serious | Warmer temperatures could lead to longer periods of insect reproduction and more insects | Other: Health and community | Food and agriculture | ||
| 889 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Lightning/thunderstorm | Less serious | Climate change will cause more extreme weather and extreme changes in temperature, such as cold waves and heat waves. With the increase in extreme weather as well as the increase in the meeting of cold and hot fronts, lightning and thunderstorms are likely to increase. | Residential | Transport | ||
| 890 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Rain storm | Serious | Climate change's affect of more frequent severe weather patterns is well noted, this would likely cause increased rainfall which would result in more frequent rainstorms | Other: Water | Food and agriculture | ||
| 891 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | River flood | Extremely serious | Climate change's affect on more frequent severe weather patterns is well noted, this would likely cause increased rainfall during shorter periods, leading to floods | Residential | Other: Commerical | Transport | |
| 892 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Severe wind | Less serious | Wind is controlled by changes in atmospheric pressure. Increasing temperature can cause extreme variations in air pressure, which increases the likelihood of stronger winds. Severe wind is aslso an indicator of severe storms and severe weather that are instigated by climate change. Severe winds mean great property damage costs and threats to human wellbeing. | Transport | Residential | Other: Commerical | |
| 893 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Storm surge | Less serious | Storm surges are found to be intensified by climate change. St Louis ,however, is a landlocked city that does not encounter an ocean. | ||||
| 894 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Tornado | Extremely serious | While the number of actual tornadoes has gone up in recent years, we are currently unsure if this is related to climate change or just increased reporting methods. Since strong storms are more likely with increased warming, it makes sense that the number of tornadoes has increased overall. Even though the total amount of tornadoes has increased but the intensity of those tornadoes have decreased recently. | Other: Commerical | Residential | Other: Emergency services | |
| 895 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Vector-borne disease | Serious | Warmer winter temperatures will allow vector borne diseases to spead to new locations, including the St. Louis region. However, increased health care is expected to mitigate these increases in vector borne diseases. | Other: Water | Food and agriculture | Other: Health and community | |
| 896 | 35393 | City of St Louis | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Water-borne disease | Serious | In 2014-15, there were many reported incidences of legionellosis. This bacteria is spread through contact with freshwater such as swimming pools/ hot tubs and air-conditioning units. With climate change, the number of hot days will increase. This means more air conditioner units running for longer periods of time and more time spent in swilling pools and hot tubs. http://www.cdc.gov/legionella/about/causes-transmission.html Similarly, there was also a strong prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in 2014-5. This disease is also spread through the recreational waters of swimming pools, ponds, lakes, rivers, springs, hot tubs, etc. By swallowing infected water, the disease is contracted. With more and more days of extreme heat, the likelihood of incidence will increase. | Other: Water | Food and agriculture | Other: Health and community | |
