Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 1 | Extreme Precipitation > Rain storm | Yes | High | Medium High | Increased risk to already vulnerable populations; Other, please specify: Damage to property | Commercial; Environment, biodiversity, forestry; Land use planning; Public health; Residential; Waste management; Water supply & sanitation | Elderly; Low-income households; Persons living in sub-standard housing; Persons with disabilities | Increasing | Increasing | High | Short-term (by 2025) | Flooding has been a significant issue with increased precipitation in the Town of Whitby. There has been significant damages to homes and commercial properties due to flooding, risk of transportation on roads, aging infrastructure, animal habitat, etc. In 2017, a major road in Whitby's downtown was closed due to flooding of the area (Brock Street South/Waste Street) and residents were urged to stay aware from bluffs and urged to use caution near the waterfront. In the Durham Community Climate Adaptation Plan. it has been projected that the occurrence of flooding will only increase in local municipalities of Durham, including Whitby, therefore new climate resilience standards must be included. Just this year in 2019. Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) issues a flood warning for the Lake Ontario shoreline in the Town of Whitby. It was expected that the storm brought 15-35mm of rain. In the future, there is high risk for stormwater facilities, roads and transportation, sanitary services, erosion, pollution, electrical services, communications services, social services, EMS, police, public use of flood plains, damage to private assets, social disruption, and business disruption. | |

This has serious consequences for elderly, children, and vulnerable populations who would be severely impacted by heat waves. Back in 2016, drought conditions were parching the countryside in Durham and transforming the green landscape to dry land. This impacted people across all demographics, and resulted in Town events (e.g. Ribfest) being almost unbearably hot. This impacts crops and gives high cost to local farmers who are trying to sustain their own business and local communities. The drought conditions placed high stress on any newly planted trees, as they lacked the sufficient water supply to establish solid growth. In the future, the extreme heat will continue to impact outside workers, reduce asset life, accelerate challenges of ageing infrastructure, vegetation management and growing seasons, transmission and disruption outages, social disruption, health related death and illness, buckling of pavement and bridges, softening of asphalt, and impacts to water supply in the Town of Whitby. | |

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 3 | Storm and wind > Severe wind | Yes | High | High | Increased demand for healthcare services; Increased demand for public services; Increased resource demand; Increased risk to already vulnerable populations | Commercial; Emergency services; Environment, biodiversity, forestry; Food & agriculture; Industrial; Land use planning; Residential; Tourism; Transport; Water supply & sanitation | Children & youth; Elderly; Low-income households; Persons with chronic diseases; Persons with disabilities; Unemployed persons | Increasing | Increasing | High | Immediately | There has been significant damage to tree branches and limbs on trails and major arterial streets, conservation lands and downtown areas have accessibility impacts on sidewalks, powerline and public service worries, massive shoreline erosion by increased wave action. Back in 2018, severe windstorms were felt in Whitby. This caused loose objects to be overturned, older buildings to be more susceptible to damage, branches and top heavy trees to snap, impacted streelights and powerlines. In May of 2019, with CLOCA issuing the flood warning there were heavy concerns relating to the wind forecast which saw winds from 30-40km/h and gusts up to 80km/h. With high water levels and significant winds there were impacts to low-lying and flood prone areas due to storm surge and wave uprush. Within the Durham Community Climate Adaptation plan of 2016, it is expected that by 2040-2049, more extreme weather events with high winds and heavy rain will impact municipalities in Durham region. This will continue to cause power outages and infrastructure damages. In the future, extreme winds will bring power outages caused by infrastructure damages, infectious borne diseases, road failure through subsoil failure, pavement structure failure, and increases of chronic and acute exposure for public health air quality. | |

There would be increased impacts on aging infrastructure and road capacity within the Town of Whitby. Back in 2018, Whitby and several other Durham Municipalities were dealing with extreme winter conditions. This ranged from freezing rain to heavy snowfall that occured overnight. In 2018, Environment Canada issued a rainfall warning with rainfall amounts in the 20mm to 30mm range. The ice accumulations, combined with gusty winds (from 40km/h to 70km/h) had strong potential to result in power outages due to fallen trees and power lines, with the continued threat of flooding. These types of storms will continue to occur, even more frequently, and result in greater damages to both private and public property. In the future, under the Durham Community Climate Adaptation Plan, it is expected that there will be a medium risk for infrastructure failure leading to power outages (due to ice accretion and trees falling on lines), increase in invasive species (increase in local pests), and more fluctuation of winter climates resulting in more rain during the winter months (leading to increase threat of flooding). | |

Las mediciones de material particulado (tanto MP10 como MP 2,5) dan cuenta de que Cerro Navia se encuentra con los índices más altos de la región.Se debe destacar que durante el año 2020 no se registraron episodios de emergencia por contaminación. Lo anterior dado las limitaciones de movilidad determinadas en el contexto de pandemia por covid-19. Solamente se registraron 16 episodios de Alerta ambiental, siendo la estación de Cerro Navia, la que más cantidad de este tipo de episodios presentó en la región metropolitana.Los impactos de esta problemática se encuentran vinculados al aumento de las consultas médicas por enfermedades respiratorias. Los diagnósticos indican que en su mayoría las causas están vinculadas a las condiciones ambientales, por ejemplo Neumonitis debida a aspiración de aceites y esencias, Neumonitis debida a aspiración de otros sólidos y líquidos, Neumonitis por aspiración debida a la anestesia administrada durante el trabajo de parto y el parto, Neumonía congénita, Neumonía congénita debida a agente viral, Neumonía congénita debida a Chlamydia, Neumonía congénita debida a estafilococos, Neumonía congénita debida a estreptococos del grupo B, Neumonía congénita debida a Escherichia coli, Neumonía congénita debida a pseudomonas, Neumonía congénita debida a otros agentes bacterianos, Neumonía congénita debida a otros organismos, Neumonía congénita, organismo no especificado, Bronquitis crónica con enfisema, Bronquitis crónica con obstrucción de las vías aéreas, Bronconeumonía connatal, Bronconeumonía no connatal. | |

Local people used to dig wells to extract underground water, but today people rely on tap water. During drought, residents fight over water, especially among lower-income earners since they don’t have access to water supply. To address water shortage and drought in a long term, local authorities supplied water in drought-hit areas and in the near future, a plan to construct a reservoir to store raw water from the Phet Buri dam will be drawn. The raw water will be transferred through the pipes which is being built by the Irrigation Department. | |

In the period 2015 - 2018, 1022 “storm water flooding and 1.561 “clogged drain” malfunction calls were made. Floods and sudden stormwaters that may occur due to excessive climate events, impacts on water and wastewater systems and sectoral water supply problems require public authorities to implement adaptation measures. Although Büyük Menderes River is cut by channels, dams and dykes, it causes floods at villages such as A. Mahmutlar during severe precipitation, and thousands of decares of land are flooded. DSI tries to protect the villages within Büyük Menderes Basin through reclamation operations. Dalaman Brook causes floods which affect the settlements of Denizli. Although under control by channels and dykes, flood occurs under very severe precipitation. The greatest impact of Dalaman Brook and its branches is the erosions that they cause at the area of Çameli.34% of the total damage (119,5 million TRY) as a result of hail - flood and drought incidences affecting the agricultural areas in Denizli Province occurred in the year 2018. When the damages in that year are examined as per the affected products, the damages on vineyard products form about 31% of all the damage.Expected risk levels on agriculture and ecosystem sector are as follows:- Submerging of fertile agricultural lands as a result of floods is very high between 2015-2044.- Decrease in the production of agricultural products at processing factories as a result of decrease in agricultural production due to extreme precipitation, storm and flood incidences is very high between 2015-2044.Expected risk levels on water and waste water service sector are as follows:- Damage at urban spaces as a result of floods at urban areas due to sudden and extreme precipitation is high between 2015-2044.- Damage at historical artworks at antique areas due to increasing floods is high between 2045-2074.Expected risk levels on industry sector are as follows:- Damages on factories, and on other fixed assets due to floods is medium between 2015-2044.- Occurrence of electricity interruptions as a result of damage on energy infrastructure due to floods is very high between 2015-2044. | |

According to the average temperature of many years, a difference of 1,5°C is observed in the average temperature in the period 2017-2018. As this state is varying as per the type of plant, it brings forward the phenology by 20 days for the year 2018. For this reason, it has been determined that the risk of fruit trees to be affected from the early frosts of spring due to early blooming of them is high. When the data of the recent four years in the Denizli Province are examined, the risk of occurrence of late frosts of spring between April 20 and 25 is very high.All the damages in the year 2007 arose from drought, nearly all of them in the year 2009 arose from hail, nearly all of them in the year 2010 arose from excessive precipitation and hail, all of them in the year 2011 arose from excessive precipitation and hail, 80% of them in the year 2012 from frost and 20% of them in the year 2012 from hail - storm, 74% of them in the year 2013 from hail and 26% of them in the year 2013 from storm and frost, 74% of them in the year 2014 from drought and 14% of them in the year 2014 from hail - flood, 73% of them in the year 2015 from frost and cold and 19% of them in the year 2015 from hail - flood, 77% of them in the year 2016 from drought and 14% of them in the year 2016 from frost, 95% of them in the year 2017 from hail - flood, hail and hail - storm, and finally 93% of them in the year 2018 from hail - flood and hail - flood - storm. | |
