| 1025 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Extreme hot days | Extremely serious | Extreme heat could put strains on the energy system, simultaneously decreasing system efficiency and performance of the energy network as system operators struggle to cool down facilities, and increasing electricity consumption due to a surge in peak demand for air conditioning. As a result demand can outstrip supply causing power outages. This risk may also increase water demand for cooling towers. An increase in extreme heat could lead to power supply disruptions from programmed load shedding and heat damage to network infrastructure, causing brownouts and blackouts. This in turn reduces the reputation of the City in having a reliable power supply for its community and visitors. | Energy | Commercial | Public health |
| 1026 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Heat wave | Serious | Heat waves could lead to higher incidents of heat stress and other related illnesses amongst the community resulting in a decrease in comfort levels and an increase in hospital admissions, pressure on social services and morbidity. This increases strain on emergency and social services supporting this sensitive population due to increases in demand coupled with a decrease in staffing resources. An increase in extreme heat and associated impacts could reduce workforce productivity, as activities become too hot for people to work outside during parts of the day and the indoor thermal comfort is affected by pressures on cooling. It could lead to negative changes in behaviour in particular increases in violence and anti-social behaviour leading to an increase in demand for emergency and social services. An increase in the extreme heat could lead to increases in heat impacts to transport infrastructure – resulting in congestion, major delays and mass transit disruption with potential stranding of commuters. An increase in extreme heat could lead to changes in commuter behaviour opting to use private vehicles to access the CBD (rather than public transport) to avoid potential delays and discomfort resulting in increased congestion. | Public health | Emergency Management | Transport |
| 1027 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Flash/surface flood | Serious | Flash flooding can cause overflow of stormwater drainage creating hazardous conditions for the community. Flash floods can cause storm water drainage systems to back up and cause localised flash flooding of roads, public spaces and property. This may result in an increase in localised traffic congestion, vehicular and pedestrian accidents, as well as loss of parking spaces in low lying areas and basements. | Transport | Public health | Emergency Management |
| 1028 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Lightning/thunderstorm | Serious | An increase in intense rainfall and hail events may result in damage to properties, causing displacement and disruption of the community, businesses and other activities while clean-up and recovery occurs. In the short term this may increase the need and cost for emergency housing or shelter, rebuild skills, disaster relief and social services. In the longer term this may impact productivity and reputation. | Public health | Commercial | Emergency Management |

| 1030 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Severe wind | Serious | High intensity of rainfall events and high winds which have the potential to increase storm surges and disrupt ferry, cruise ship and freight logistics entering and operating within Sydney ports. This risk addressees how the east coast low pressure systems can cause high seas resulting in: ? Grounding of or damage to freight ships (including oil tankers) resulting in environmental impacts within Sydney Ports. ? Disruption of ferry services with flow-on impacts for the broader transport network. ? Disruption to cruise ships docking in Sydney Harbour impacting tourist trade and reputation of Sydney as a safe tourist destination. | Commercial | Emergency Management | Transport |
| 1031 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Hail | Serious | Ability of heavy rainfall with hail can cause extensive damage to property: ? Infrastructure (ie power lines, street lights, embankments). ? Buildings (ie homes, PV installations and stations). ? Trees (ie street trees). ? This increases clean-up efforts, disposal and maintenance costs. | Commercial | Residential | Transport |
| 1032 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Other: Urban Heat Island effect | Serious | Heat waves will increase the heat intensity of roads and buildings within the Sydney CBD. Areas that experience heat island will be avoided by people who seek refuge in areas that are cooler such as parks. | Energy | Commercial | Public health |
| 1033 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Other: Hot Summers | Serious | An increase in extreme heat and associated air quality impacts may result in reduced appeal for physical activities such as walking, cycling and other outdoor activities due to the increased risk of heat stress and dehydration associated with outdoor exercise in these conditions. | Public health | Energy | Commercial |
| 1034 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Rain storm | Serious | Rain storms can cause extensive property damage and city-wide disruptions to services and amenity.

In the longer term this may impact productivity and reputation. | Emergency Management | Commercial | Public health |
| 1035 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Drought | Serious | Drought conditions could result in reduced water availability for gardens and open space areas, resulting in reduced scenic/social amenity and limited recreation and respite areas. | Public health | Water Supply & Sanitation | Commercial |
| 1036 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Permanent inundation | Serious | Rising sea levels and coastal inundation could have the potential to reduce the accessibility and aesthetics of the City's iconic cultural and tourism precinct (eg Sydney Opera House forecourt, Circular Quay and public amenities such as the Royal Botanical Gardens). This includes the potential erosion of places of indigenous cultural or community significance along the Sydney Harbour foreshore. | Commercial | Community & Culture | Environment |
| 1037 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Salt water intrusion | Less serious | Saltwater intrusion could increase financial burden for maintenance and protection and threaten the financial value and viability of many properties and infrastructure along the Sydney Harbour foreshore and low lying areas in the south of the LGA. | Commercial | Community & Culture | Environment |
| 1038 | 31114 | City of Sydney | Australia | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Forest fire | Serious | An increase in bushfire weather conditions across the Greater Sydney Region could lead to business interruption and economic loss within the LGA due to interrupted accessibility in and out the City and strain on resources and services. This risk addresses bushfires continuing to cause extensive property and infrastructure damage across the Greater Sydney Region with cascading impacts on the LGA, including: ? Damage to the transport network delaying or stranding CBD workers. ? Limited availability of emergency response and social services within the CBD due to transfer of capacity to regional disaster zones. ? Decrease in tourism due to reduced appeal of attraction on Sydney’s fringe. ? Reduced productivity and economic loss due to CBD workers and LGA workforce taking leave to volunteer or defend property. ? Contaminated water supply. | Public health | Emergency Management | Transport |

| 1048 | 43932 | Auckland Council | New Zealand | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Drought | Less serious | Auckland is vulnerable to the effects of different types of drought that could have severe implications on people, agriculture and the economy. The effect of drought could potentially damage plants, animals, wildlife habitat, and air and water quality. It could also increase forest and range fires leading to a reduced landscape quality. There will be a strain on the city’s water resources and cause conflicts between water users, inequities in the distribution of impacts and drought relief and public safety and health. Increased instances of drought will economically impact agriculture and related sectors. This may potentially inflate food prices, energy and other products as supplies are reduced. | Food and agriculture | Residential | Water Supply & Sanitation |
| 1049 | 43932 | Auckland Council | New Zealand | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Other: Catchment Flooding | Serious | Flooding is Auckland’s most frequently occurring natural hazard. Most flooding occurs over a short period and affects relatively localised areas. Flooding is dependent on several factors including rainfall intensity and duration, soil conditions, local river levels and the physical characteristics of the catchment. The conditions that lead to flooding in Auckland are often dependent on whether the catchments are predominantly rural or urban. Auckland has approximately 100 urbanised catchments and 130 rural catchments. Ground conditions influence flooding in rural catchments as run-off to streams and rivers occurs much faster if soils are already saturated. The majority of the flood risk in the Auckland region is in urbanised catchments where development within floodplains and obstruction of overland flow paths increases the incidence and risk of flooding of homes and buildings. | Residential | Commercial | Emergency Management |
| 1050 | 43932 | Auckland Council | New Zealand | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | Public | 2017 | Other: Coastal Erosion | Extremely serious | Coastal erosion can pose a risk to residential developments, roads, lifeline utilities and coastal structures. It could be a danger to life in the case of sudden onset landslide events and structural damage or destruction of buildings and infrastructure. In addition, it could severely damage or destruct lifeline infrastructure such as water, sewage and gas pipes and roads. And cause major damage to commercial transportation infrastructure that may require significant time to repair and lead to economic loss. | Residential | Transport | Commercial |
