85435878City of SacramentoUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Salt water intrusionSeriousSacramento’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: WaterFood and agricultureOther: Health and community

88135393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Cold waveSeriousCold 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 communityOther: CommericalTransport
88235393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017DroughtExtremely seriousAs 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 agricultureOther: WaterOther: Health and community

88435393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Extreme winter conditionsSeriousExtreme 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.TransportOther: Emergency servicesFood and agriculture
88535393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Flash/surface floodExtremely seriousAs 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.ResidentialFood and agricultureOther: All of the above
88635393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Heat waveExtremely seriousThis 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 communityFood and agricultureOther: Water
88735393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017HailLess seriousWith 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.TransportResidentialOther: Commerical

88935393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Lightning/thunderstormLess seriousClimate 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.ResidentialTransport

89235393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Severe windLess seriousWind 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.TransportResidentialOther: Commerical
89335393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Storm surgeLess seriousStorm surges are found to be intensified by climate change. St Louis ,however, is a landlocked city that does not encounter an ocean.
89435393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017TornadoExtremely seriousWhile 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: CommericalResidentialOther: Emergency services
89535393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Vector-borne diseaseSeriousWarmer 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: WaterFood and agricultureOther: Health and community
89635393City of St LouisUSANorth AmericaPublic2017Water-borne diseaseSeriousIn 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: WaterFood and agricultureOther: Health and community
