Many homes now in flood risk so increased anxiety of a similar impact happening again. Many now unable to get insurance - so if it does happen again they won't be covered.The future predictions look likely to have greater recurrence of flash flooding. | |

Hurricanes normally cause power outages which can last weeks at a time. We suspect that the coastal areas of our City, especially anywhere east of US 1 will be severely impacted with any future storms. Flooding and wind cause dangerous conditions and cause lots of property damage. | |

Heat stroke, heat stress, and other illnesses are the result. We expect this to become a bigger issue over time as global temperatures increase, especially if our low or fixed income households cannot pay for air conditioning during these extreme heat days. | |

These flooding events disrupt transportation, flood homes and businesses, increase a need for police presence. This year, an elderly person tried to kill themselves because they were so distraught about the flood damage to their home with their fixed income. As we're now experiencing the 100 year flood every 10 years, we expect this risk to increase in frequency and in the level of disruption it causes our city. These floods also impact the confidence our residents have in the City, as our infrastructure is not designed to be able to move this amount of water within hours. | |

We've since added backflow preventers in some areas, but expect these higher high tides to be an issue for the City for some time, with increasing height and frequency. So far, these king tide events impact transportation (roads flooded), and residential sectors. As they increase in height, the flooding impacts will be more frequent up until constant inundation with sea level rise. | |

Due to the fact that the city is located by the sea and is a windy city, it may encounter natural disasters due to precipitation, although not very often. After the flood disaster that occurred in 2017 and caused 200 million Turkish liras of damage, the flood disaster that hit the whole of the city on January 6-7, 2020 again was affected by 8 thousand 386 greenhouses, 951 gardens, 30 thousand 421 decares of field flood waters. Therefore, these damages should be evaluated as the reflections of the Climate Crisis. | |

With an increasing frequency and intensity in precipitation expected as a result of climate change, we can expect flooding, in particular surface water flooding, to occur more frequently. Wandsworth has experienced a number of surface water flood events, the most notable of which was on the 20th July 2007 where intense periods of rainfall caused flash floods and the capacity of the existing drainage system to be exceeded in several locations across the Borough. This caused overland flow and ponding in low-lying areas and impacted residents, businesses and the transport network across the Borough. Tooting Bec and Tooting Broadway railway stations had to be closed due to flooding. Schools, public buildings, residential properties, the transport network and council vehicles all suffered damage. The total cost of repairs to the council amounted to over £400,000. A similar event was seen in July 2009, when Southside Shopping Centre in Wandsworth and South Thames College were evacuated, with significant disruptions to transport and other damage caused, as a result of torrential downpours. We can also expect to see more flooding from ground water and sewage. Our Strategic Flooding Risk Assessment lays out the impact of flooding in the borough, both in the past and expected in further detail: https://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/planning-policy/flood-risk/flood-risk-management-plans/strategic-flood-risk-assessment/ | |

However, storms and wind do currently lead to outages of services, and if extreme wind were to increase in frequency then service outages could become more frequent. For example, falling trees and other debris can cause significant disruption to travel and electricity supply, and potentially all services can be affected depending on the nature of the specific incident. Railways can also be affected by damage to overhead lines. There is also a risk to life and property with falling trees and debris. As a local authority we are responsible for the integrity of street trees and trees within our parks and open spaces. If extreme winds were to become more common or more intense, this will mean an additional burden on local authorities to ensure trees are healthy and well placed to withstand extreme wind. Even with additional safeguards, extreme winds can cause otherwise healthy trees to fall with a risk to life and property. | |

In the UK around 2,000 people died prematurely and deaths among people aged over 75 rose by 60 per cent in London. Whilst this heatwave was particularly notable for the link to increased mortality, there have been a number of heatwaves since, increasing in frequency. The most recent heatwave was during the summer of 2020 when temperatures in part of London reached 36.4 Celsius and multiple 'tropical nights'. Heatwaves do not only lead to an increase in mortality and impact on health, they can also affect food supply, water supply, biodiversity and transport and are associated with public disorder. Buckling of road surfaces and train tracks may occur in spells of hot weather during summer months. | |

For this reason, an extreme cold wave is not expected to be a significant hazard for the future. Nonetheless, even with a warmer climate overall, there remains some risk of an extreme cold wave. An estimated 10.1% of households in Wandsworth live in fuel poverty (LGA, 2018) and the Council supports local residents through a fuel crisis assistance scheme and through a Winter Warm Service. | |

The Water Advisory Group including the GLA continue to investigate how best to mitigate against this hazard in the future, including through further investment in our water management infrastructure and through diversifying our water supply. | |

At this point along its course, the water levels in the River Thames are tidally influenced. Flood Zone mapping identifies that a large area covering Battersea and Clapham Junction and smaller areas to the north of Wandsworth and Putney are in Flood Zone 3 associated with the River Thames, which is defined as land that would be expected to flood during a flood event with a 0.5% AEP, when excluding the presence of defences. However, these areas do benefit from The ThamesTidal Defence (TTD) system including both the raised flood defence walls along the River Thames frontage, as well as the Thames Barrier located downstream at Woolwich. The risk of tidal flooding to these northern parts of Wandsworth is therefore a residual risk at present, in the event of a breach or overtopping of the local flood defences. This risk will increase in the future as a result of climate change and is modelled in greater detail in our flood risk assessment. Modelling within this assessment also identifies that climate change is likely to result in a significant increase in the flood extent associated with the River Wandle through Southfields andKing George’s Park and a slight increase in the flood extent associated with the River Graveney in Tooting Graveney. | |

This is also linked to severe weather events, high temperatures can alter pathogen survival, replication and virulence, heavy rainfall events can mobilise pathogens and compromise water and sanitation infrastructure, and drought can concentrate pathogens in limited water supplies. | |

Most mosquito species native to the UK do not transmit diseases (some Culex mosquitoes are capable of transmitting West Nile Virus. However, invasive mosquitoes such as Aedes albopictus, are capable of transmitting dengue and chikungunya diseases and Adese albopictus was recorded in southern England in 2016, 2017 and 2018, despite originating in southeast Asia. Recently, there have been changes in vector distribution across the UK. This includes identification of invasive species, such as Aedes albopictus, in Southern England as well as changing patterns of tick distributions. The causes of these changes are complex, however, climate change is thought to be a main contributory factor. Climate change causing higher temperatures, speed up mosquito development allowing for potentially earlier infection. Whilst temperature has less of an effect on ticks than it does on mosquitoes, ticks are affected by other climate variables such as mositure levels. Ticks are a key vector for the Borrelia bacteria that causes Lyme disease and can act as a vector for act as a vector for tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). TBE, however, is not present in the UK although it has been recorded in several European countries including Switzerland and the Netherlands. Ticks that may carry Lyme disease are common, found especially in woodlands and parks with deer, such as Richmond Park which is on the border with Wandsworth and will be visited by many Wandsworth residents. This is therefore already having a slight impact on Wandsworth residents, but may increase as a result of climate change. The identification of invasive mosquito species in Southern England can be expected to affect Wandsworth as a borough in this region. | |

A compactação do solo, o aumento expressivo do escoamento superficial das águas pluviais, a ocupação de planícies fluviais, além dos fenômenos climáticos, como o período de chuva reduzida, em conjunto do uso indiscriminado principalmente pela agricultura, impactarão em verdadeiras crises hídricas em tempo de estiagem. Futuramente, curto, médio e em longo prazo, a concessionária apresentou ao Município ação de mitigação e adaptação em relação à captação e distribuição da água e esgoto.O ano 2019 foi o ano com menor quantidade de chuvas já registrado na cidade de Goiás. O município de Goiás,possui registros pluviométricos desde o ano de 1961. Nestes 58 anos de coleta de dados, o ano de 2019 apresentou a menor pluviometria (quantidade de chuvas), anual já registrados . Foram apenas 933,2 milímetros de precipitação totalizada no ano. Até então, o pior desempenho havia ocorrido em 2015 e 2002, com 1172,5 mm e 1209,8 mm respectivamente. O mês de novembro foi o menos chuvoso dos últimos 58 anos. 2020, no entanto parece tentar reverter esta situação, pois, em sua primeira semana, a precipitação acumulada foi de 144,6 mm. 2019 confirmou a tendência de baixa pluviometria anotadas nestas duas primeiras décadas do século XXI em nossa cidade. | |

A exposição ao calor extremo pode levar à desidratação, exaustão pelo calor, insolação, perda de consciência e outras emergências médicas, acarretando no aumento na demanda por serviços médicos.As ondas de calor, afetam também a infra-estruturas, tais como sistemas de energia, armazenamento de água, entrega, tratamento e transporte são afetados pelo calor extremo tanto direta como indiretamente. Por exemplo, o consumo de água e de eletricidade, devido aos aparelhos de ar condicionado, tendem a aumentar durante uma onda de calor, sobrecarregando os sistemas e podendo levar à escassez. A produção agrícola pode ser afetada devido a ondas de calor prolongadas. | |

A possibilidade de novas enchentes faz com que a comunidade ribeirinha ao Rio Vermelho, fiquem sempre atentos em épocas de chuvas, considerando os significativos danos causados ao município ao longo de sua existência, pela repetição de eventos de mesma natureza. Os estragos das inundações são vinculados não só pela fragilidade da área atingida, em função do tipo de ocupação e uso do solo, da área da bacia e da infra-estrutura de saneamento básico, como também, dos danos ambientais no curso do Rio Vermelho, desde sua nascente, a montante da cidade, até a ocupação de sua planície de inundação.O acervo arquitetônico é reconhecido mundialmente, tanto que em 2001, a Organização das Nações Unidades, através da UNESCO, tornou-se a Cidade de Goiás patrimônio da humanidade, deixando de ser simplesmente uma cidade histórica brasileira. Daí a preocupação com a repetição dessa natureza, um vez que, pouco a pouco, eles vão levando água abaixo, pontes, danificando casarões e calçamentos de pedra feitos por mãos escravas, enfim, são fragmentos da história sendo consumidos, enchente após enchentes, e acima de tudo afligindo famílias, com a destruição de seus bens móveis e imóveis. | |

Además, se han presentado con mayor frecuencia racionamientos en el servicio de agua a las comunidades, debido a que en horas pico de uso, los tanques de almacenamiento llegan a sus niveles mínimos. Adicionalmente la cantidad de agua de riego se ha visto disminuida y con ello la capacidad productiva del cantón, que dicho sea de paso es un cantón agropecuario en su mayoría. Se han presentado un aumento en las conexiones ilegales a cuerpos de agua para el riego de cultivos, lo que a su vez a desencadenado en ocasiones disputas entre productores.Se espera que en el futuro la magnitud del riesgo sea mayor y disminuya la disponibilidad del agua para consumo humano de forma drástica. | |

Este incremento también podría afectar la agricultura (incrementa la evapotranspiración) y la actividad ganadera. Por otro lado, el incremento de la temperatura podría generar un mayor consumo de energía, tanto en el sector residencial como público y comercial y, si no se cuenta con la infraestructura necesaria para abastecer la demanda, podría verse interrumpido. Dado que la población de adultos y adultos mayores es en general la más afectada por las olas de calor, el incremento de la duración de las mismas requiere especial atención en el contexto del cambio climático |
