La urbanización de zonas periféricas de la ciudad ha incrementado también los riesgos en zonas más céntricas, que tradicionalmente no se inundaban o lo hacían de forma menos intensa.La mayor superficie con zonas sujetas a peligros de inundación abarcan 693 ha, equivalentes a 5.5% del territorio de este municipio. A pesar de que podría interpretarse como una pequeña proporción de superficie afectada, lo cierto es que en todas las regiones de la ciudad hay áreas sujetas a inundación, en ocasiones condicionadas por las características del medio natural y su transformación por el desarrollo urbano, pero en otras el factor desencadenante es la ausencia de infraestructura que facilite la salida del agua de lluvia o por el escaso mantenimiento de ésta (limpieza de traga-tormentas). | |

| 3060 | Cities 2020 | 832097 | Município de Lagos | Portugal | Europe | Climate Hazards and Vulnerability | Climate Hazards | 2 | Extreme Precipitation > Rain storm | Yes | Medium High | Medium High | Increased demand for healthcare services; Increased demand for public services; Increased resource demand; Loss of traditional jobs | Energy; Environment, biodiversity, forestry; Land use planning; Tourism; Water supply & sanitation | Elderly; Persons living in sub-standard housing | Increasing | High | Medium-term (2026-2050) | De acordo com os estudos de cenarização climática e análise de riscos climáticos desenvolvidos no âmbito do PMAAC Lagos e anteriormente apresentados, as principais alterações projetadas nas variáveis climáticas para o território concelhio, para meados e final do presente século são, em síntese, as seguintes:→ Aumento da temperatura do ar;→ Aumento significativo do número de dias de verão e de dias com noites tropicais;→ Diminuição da precipitação total e do número de dias com precipitação;→ Secas mais frequentes e intensas;→ Ausência de alterações relevantes relativamente à velocidade e direção do vento e à ocorrência de eventos de vento forte;→ Aumento moderado do número de dias muito quentes e do número de dias em onda de calor;→ Diminuição do número de dias em onda de frio;→ Eventos extremos de precipitação diária sem alterações futuras relevantes;→ Número de dias de vento muito forte sem alteração projetada;→ Subida do nível médio do mar, relativamente a 1990 até + 0,3 m em 2050 e + 1,5 m em 2100.As alterações climáticas projetadas poderão agravar, minorar ou manter as atuais vulnerabilidades climáticas do território concelhio. Estas alterações poderão ainda potenciar o aparecimento e desenvolvimento de outras vulnerabilidades e riscos, nas áreas e sectores já afetados atualmente ou em novas áreas e sectores. A evolução e interação entre os fatores climáticos e não-climáticos (sociais, demográficos, ocupação do território, planeamento, entre outros) revestem-se de particular importância uma vez que podem alterar as condições de exposição e sensibilidade a eventos climáticos futuros.As alterações mais significativas projetadas para os parâmetros climáticos no concelho de Lagos estão relacionadas com o aumento das temperaturas do ar máxima e mínima, com o aumento significativo do número de dias de verão e de dias com noites tropicais e com um aumento moderado do número de dias muito quentes e do número de dias em onda de calor. As consequências dos eventos de temperaturas elevadas/ondas de calor são consideradas moderadas, estando associadas sobretudo a incêndios florestais e, com menor significado, ao aumento da morbilidade e mortalidade durante ondas de calor. | ||

The disturbance of natural landcover and the increase of impervious surfaces has contributed to faster stormwater runoff, which in turn has increased the likelihood of rivers and tributaries to flood. Previous floods have impacted commercial and residential properties, particularly those of lower-income families who are more commonly located in or near floodplains. Impacts have also been felt along roadways limiting access to emergency responders. | |

While this area does not face the more severe impacts seen on the coast, these events have produced light to severe damage to property and endangered human health.As this assessment was in its final stages of preparation, Hurricane Florence struck the Carolinas. Initial projections showed Florence’s track would lead it directly through the Triangle Region. To prepare for the storm, our jurisdictions coordinated with one another, the State government, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, local organizations, businesses and our residents to support and protect our communities.Though the Triangle Region was spared the worst impacts of the disaster, significant rain and wind caused flooding, road closures, and power outages. The Triangle Region was also host to evacuees from coastal North Carolina during the storm and in its immediate aftermath. | |

Periods of drought are linked to increased risk of wildfire as well as increased dust particulates in the air which can exacerbate chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma. With more than 120 farms and 9000 acres of irrigated farmland, Orange County's agricultural industry is also susceptible to drought, particularly when it is sustained over a long period. | |

Increasing temperatures contribute to increased fire frequency, intensity, and size. Additionally, wildfire smoke contains particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and other harmful emissions that significantly reduce air quality both locally and in areas downwind of fires. Smoke from wildfires hundreds of miles away can affect people’s health.Despite the urban nature of the Triangle, the map shows that it is still in the second highest quantile for forested regions in the nation (51 to 75 percent), making it an area of concern for exposure to wildfire. Most residents in the Triangle region value having these forested areas in their neighborhoods. While this adds to quality of life, it does raise the danger of available fuels that might lead to wildfire. 96.0% of residential properties in the assessment are exposed to wildfire risks, although only 6.7% have a Medium to High combined score for Vulnerability and Risk. 81.3% of commercial properties in the assessment are exposed to wildfire risks, although only 1.1% have a Medium to High combined score for Vulnerability and Risk. | |

The West Midlands had an estimated 90-130 excess deaths during this period. Being a largely urban area, heat waves are amplified by the urban heat island (UHI) effect which in 2003 pushed average temperatures 3°C higher than the neighbouring rural areas. It is suggested that the UHI contributed up to 52% of heat related mortality. During the 2003 heatwave, ambulance call outs in Birmingham increased by a third. Globally, average temperatures are 1°C higher than in 1850, and if we continue to emit greenhouse gases at today's rate, that could be 5°C by the end of the century. Research using median estimates for increased temperatures, in conjunction with the effect of the UHI, and population projections, predict heat related mortality will rise by 53% in the 2020s and 209% in the 2080s compared with the 2003 heatwave. In the West Midlands, Met Office heatwave warnings were issued as recently as summer 2020, with local NHS trusts providing guidance to help people deal with the conditions. | |

As of 2017, the number of people in the West Midlands deemed to be living in an area of high surface flood risk, was 12,495. In addition, 25 services, (schools, hospitals, etc, ), 1,101 non-residential properties, 38km of roads, and 18km of railway and 126 hectares of grade 1,2,and 3 agricultural land were also deemed to be at a high risk, demonstrating that flooding is a perennial threat. In future, it is plausible that extreme storm events could increase by as much as 40%, with winter precipitation predicted to increase by around 12%. This would also see a threefold increase in the likelihood of 'very wet days' (defined as more than 25mm in a 24 hour period). These are based on UK climate projections. This is likely to push many of those living under a current 'moderate risk' into a higher risk category, | |

In 2020, we have already seen disruption to the transport network and some localised property damage from storms Ciara and Dennis. In future, with greater extremes in prospect, it is likely that incidences of severe winds will increase in magnitude. This poses challenges to the transport sector, and to those in sub-standard housing. It can also pose a threat to the energy and telecommunication network. This can have negative consequences for emergency response and public health outcomes. It is worth noting that periods of high wind often occur alongside periods on heavy rain and therefore further compound identified risks. | |

This has driven some communities in Cijayanti Village to desperately invate a water tank truck belonging to the BPBD. Community members also queue for clean water rations distributed by the Bogor Regency Government during dry seasons. Residents are also forced to use water from the river to meet their daily needs due to unavailability of water from dry wells. For those who can afford it, on the other hand, they buy water from refilling stations to meet their daily water supply from drinking and cooking. It is hoped that in the short or soon period of time, the frequency of the impact of the drought hazard in the vulnerable areas will decrease by improving the disaster response management system. | |
| 3086 | Cities 2020 | 834058 | Bogor Regency | Indonesia | Southeast Asia and Oceania | Climate Hazards and Vulnerability | Climate Hazards | 3 | Mass movement > Landslide | Yes | High | High | Increased demand for public services; Increased risk to already vulnerable populations; Population displacement | Environment, biodiversity, forestry; Food & agriculture; Land use planning; Residential; Water supply & sanitation | Low-income households; Persons living in sub-standard housing | Decreasing | Decreasing | Medium Low | Short-term (by 2025) | The level of risk of landslides with a high category is in 189 of 436 villages in Bogor Regency.

Gunung Putri sub-district appears to have the highest number of people exposed to disasters, reaching 450,000 in the high-risk class.In addition, Bojong Gede, Cibinong, Cileungsi and Gunung Putri Subdistricts also have the potential for substantial losses to extreme weather disasters (whirlwinds), which is more than 300 billion Rupiah. Cibinong Subdistrict appears to have the highest losses compared to other sub-districts in Bogor Regency, reaching 557 billion Rupiah. This is because the sub-district is the center of activity and the region with the fastest economic growth, especially the losses to public facilities and critical facilities in the sub-district in the event of this disaster.Based on the matrix for determining the level of threat of extreme weather disasters in Bogor Regency, the high threat level with a high / medium hazard index and a high / medium exposed population index indicates that almost all areas of Bogor Regency have a high level of extreme weather threat, especially in the North and Central parts of the Regency. Bogor. Several villages that have a high level of extreme weather threat include Sukaharja Village in Cijeruk District, Sukmajaya Village in Tajur Halang District, Cipinang Village in Rumpin District, Pondok Rajeg Village in Cibinong District and Cinangneng Village in Tenjolaya District. The extreme weather hazard map shows that areas that have a high level of extreme weather threat, in this case whirlwinds, are areas with high land openness with sloping and wide topographical conditions.It is hoped that in the short or soon period of time, the frequency of the impact of the Tornado hazard in the vulnerable areas will decrease by improving the disaster response management system. | |
