| 966 | 31090 | District of Columbia | USA | North America | C40 | Public | 2017 | Heat wave | Serious | Heat waves are expected to be hotter and last longer. According to downscaled climate change projections developed by DC, in the past, the average heatwave in DC lasted just under 5 days. In the future, the average length is expected to be around 6 days by the 2020s, 8 to 9.5 days by mid-century, and 9.5 days to 12 by the 2080s.Vulnerable populations including the elderly, homeless residents, low income residents and those with medical conditions are most at risk for heat stroke and other heat related health conditions, due to exposure and limited mobility. Heat waves will also impact energy infrastructure, as peak demand for cooling could strain the distribution system, and transportation as existing roads and rail lines were not designed for temperature extremes expected by the 2080s. | Other: Health and community | Transport | Energy |
| 967 | 31090 | District of Columbia | USA | North America | C40 | Public | 2017 | Extreme hot days | Serious | The number of extreme hot days, defined as days when the temperature exceeds 95°F, is projected to increase in the future according to downscaled climate projections - to 18-20 days by the 2020s, 30-45 days by mid-century, and 40-70 days by the 2080s. Vulnerable populations including the elderly, homeless residents, low income residents and those with medical conditions are most at risk for heat stroke and other heat related health conditions, due to exposure and limited mobility. The District activates its heat emergency plan when temperatures or the heat index exceed 95°F. As the number of days increases substantially, this could strain emergency management resources. | Other: Health and community | Energy | Other: Emergency services |
| 968 | 31090 | District of Columbia | USA | North America | C40 | Public | 2017 | Cyclone (Hurricane/Typhoon) | Extremely serious | Storm surge from hurricanes and nor’easters can have significant impacts on the District region, and will be exacerbated in the future by climate change due to sea level rise and storm intensification. Coastal storm surge coupled with riverine flooding driven by heavy rains could damage critical infrastructure including energy, transportation, and water systems. High winds could also cause widespread power outages. | Other: Water | Transport | Energy |
| 969 | 31090 | District of Columbia | USA | North America | C40 | Public | 2017 | Coastal flood | Serious | The District is located at the confluence of two tidal rivers. Local sea levels have risen on average 3.2 mm per year over the last century due to a combination of global sea level rise and local subsidence. Sea level is project to increase as much as (high scenario) 1.4 feet by 2050 and 3.4 feet by 2080 according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The District is already experience an increase in tidal nuisance flooding due to sea level rise. Higher sea levels coupled with more severe coastal storms, will cause more serious coastal flooding in the future. Coastal floods pose a serious risk to the District’s critical infrastructure systems including transportation and water systems as well as significant cultural resources on the National Mall. | Other: Health and community | Other: Water | Transport |
| 970 | 31090 | District of Columbia | USA | North America | C40 | Public | 2017 | Flash/surface flood | Less serious | An increase in the intensity and frequency of heavy rain events will contribute to an increase in the likely hood of flash/surface flooding.

| 971 | 31090 | District of Columbia | USA | North America | C40 | Public | 2017 | River flood | Serious | Situated along two rivers, the District is currently at risk to riverine flooding. The risk will increase in the future as a result of increasingly frequent and severe rain events. Riverine flooding could impact large areas of the District, disrupting critical infrastructure systems, damaging public facilities, homes and businesses, and cultural resources. | Transport | Other: Water | Other: Cultural Resources |
| 972 | 31090 | District of Columbia | USA | North America | C40 | Public | 2017 | Permanent inundation | Less serious | Permanent inundation from sea level rise would impact small but important areas along the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers by the 2080s. These areas include parkland, military installations, and the sites of large new commercial and development. | Transport | Other: Commerical | Residential |
| 973 | 3417 | New York City | USA | North America | C40 | Public | 2017 | Coastal flood | Serious | Hundreds of thousands of residents live in coastal flood zones (expected to increase over time).
