Se planifica la mejora en los caminos y carreteras que conforman la red vial y que a su vez esta situación mejore. Así como también programas de reforestación y concientización a los moradores y productores agrícolas de la región. | |

El comportamiento en los últimos años ha variado considerablemente de acuerdo al cambio climático que azota el mundo entero.Al enfocarnos en el último lustro observamos que la temporada lluviosa se ha hecho cada vez más corta, provocando que todas nuestras afluentes hídricas se vean impactadas en cuanto a volumen y fluidez del agua. En la temporada seca son significativos los daños a los cultivos de nuestros productores quienes son los principales actores de la economía regional. En este punto el Gobierno Nacional crea el ‘’Plan Sequía’’ proyecto dirigido a apoyar a los productores que han enfrentado grandes pérdidas a través de financiamiento, suministro de nuevos productos como semillas, entre otros. En el sector ganadero el impacto ha sido muy alto, provocando hasta la muerte de las ganado bovino, el aumento de gastos económicos porque ante la escases de alimentación tradicional como lo es el pasto (hierba)se tiene que comprar alimento comercial, siendo inevitable el común mal de las “vacas flacas”. Disminuyen los precios del producto obligando la venta del mismo y el abuso del comercio. También es considerado este problema dentro del plan sequía.La población ocueña se ve afectada tanto en el área urbana y rural quienes empiezan a carecer del suministro de agua potable. En la parte urbana debido al aumento poblacional y fuertes sequías de la temporada seca se queda sin el suministro incluso durante incluso durante el días y en el área rural quienes se abastecen directamente de ríos y quebradas presentan el mismo problema. Actualmente se da inicio a los trabajos del alcantarillado del pueblo (centro urbano) y sustitución de todas las tuberías de asbestos.El municipio de Ocú dentro de las acciones a futuro del Departamento de Gestión Ambiental, Reducción de Riesgos y Cambio Climático en conjunto con ente pertinentes pretende realizar un estudio de la sequía en Ocú y sus impactos para aplicar nuevas estrategias que busquen el reforzamiento del “Plan Sequía” en esta región buscando siempre el beneficio de toda la población. | |

En otras áreas forestales los incendios se dan con intervalos de hasta décadas, pero en la reserva en mención presentan incendios por lo menos una vez cada año.Las causas de los incendios forestales inciden en la fusión de las altas temperaturas típicas de la temporada seca, sequias y el factor detonante: las malas prácticas agrícolas. Los productores agrícolas regionales aplican prácticas tradicionales equivocas como la quema, método utilizado para la limpieza de las parcelas en fincas. En estas fincas que colindan con los limites de las reservas forestales provocan un irreparable daño a los pulmones verdes de toda la región. Las autoridades que han politizado su acción en el poder, no han aplicado las sanciones correspondientes que ampara la ley, se ha evitado la concientización ambiental en los agricultores. Las autoridades actuales del municipio de Ocú han estado en constantes reuniones con los colindantes de las reservas para llegar a acuerdos que logren mitigar los daños causados y busquen evitar futuros incendios, además de la aplicación rigurosa de sanciones a los productores que se les compruebe ser los causales de los incendios forestales. Complementando esta mancuerna de estrategias con la reforestación de arboles forestales en las zonas afectadas por los anteriores incendios. | |

Afectando en temas de agricultura, construcciones, suministro eléctrico, transporte, educación, entre otros.Al abarcar el sector agropecuario se analiza el deslave masivo de siembras en rubros comunes en nuestra región, como son: yuca, maíz, arroz, otoe, ñame… debido al impacto generado por el viento ante la baja resistencia de la estructura física de estos rubros.En las construcciones es inevitable pensar en las consecuencias que un vendaval o un fuerte viento provocan. Los daños que producen los fuertes vientos son una preocupación bastante común en ciertas áreas de nuestra región, ya que es de conocimiento general que el viento juega un papel turbulento en cada época lluviosa. Las afectaciones más comunes en estos casos y en el suministro eléctrico son el desprendimiento de estructuras como antenas, cables, postes y desprendimiento de techos. Cabe resaltar que la caída de árboles a causa de los fuertes vientos provoca afectaciones en las infraestructuras que a simple vista no pueden ser evaluados, ya que la fatiga sufrida en la construcción por el impacto se verá en la disminución de su resistencia. En el caso del suministro eléctrico se ve afectado por muchas variantes que pueden causar daños que suspenden el suministro por lapsos de tiempos indefinidos, como lo son los postes derrumbados, los tendidos eléctricos afectados por las caídas de árboles, entre otras afectaciones.Moviéndonos al tema de las afectaciones en el ámbito del transporte, nos vemos fuertemente ligados a que nuestras vías de transporte terrestre en muchas regiones están fuertemente rodeadas de árboles, los cuales en este punto representan un peligro por tema de los fuertes vientos que los azotan en cierta época ocasionando obstrucción en nuestras carreteras que desenvuelve un retraso a lo largo del camino quedando inaccesible estas áreas hasta que se sufraguen las afectaciones en la vía.En la educación, vemos reflejada una gran afectación a causa de una mezcla de los puntos anteriormente mencionados, teniendo una ausencia de suministro eléctrico, transporte y fuertes causas que afectan directamente a la educación de miles de estudiante a lo largo del distrito. | |

Los flujos torrenciales, ocurren por causa de los intensos aguaceros, los cuales ocasionan las crecientes de las quebradas, que al encontrar un material poco consolidado arrastran suelo, roca y barro; como ocurre continuamente con La quebrada Coyatá. Las inundaciones y las avalanchas dependen de factores como, la cobertura vegetal, la topografía, la localización geográfica y los períodos climáticos, asociados con la inestabilidad del terreno y el deterioro progresivo de las cuencas y cauces, se deforesta, se arroja basura y se taponan drenajes naturales.En la zona urbana por falta de mantenimiento del alcantarillado, se pueden presentar Inundaciones en zonas de suave pendiente Independientes de las producidas por el desbordamiento de los ríos.La Intensa temporada de lluvias que afecto todo el país durante los años 2010, 2011 y 2012, registrando precipitaciones que sobrepasaron año tras año índices históricos, situación que aumento de forma considerable los caudales de todos los afluentes de las micro cuencas de los rios Gámeza, Cravo Sury Chicamocha. Las modificaciones del terreno y de los drenajes naturales y/o artificiales, sumado a la falta de mantenimiento de los mismos y en especial sus estructuras como sifones box coulvert y otras. | |

The borough is very susceptible to surface water flooding, seen most dramatically in the summer of 2007. The borough experienced drastic surface flooding most recently in April and July 2021. Richmond has identified a series of localised flooding issues. The majority of the localised flooding incidents were typically as a result of blocked gullies and/or culverts, sewer flooding or surface water flooding. 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.richmond.gov.uk/media/14421/richmond_sfra_0516.pdf The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 2020 highlighted that the Beverley Brook responds faster to hydrological changes, which could place a greater number of people, properties and infrastructure at risk of flooding increasing the need for flood defence and mitigation measures. A successful bid was entered for funding from DEFRA to improve community resilience to flooding in the Beverley Brook catchment area in partnership with WWT, who run the London Wetland Centre in Barnes, and the Friends of Barnes Common.An initial Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS) for the period 2014-2020 was published in 2015. This is due to be updated in 2021/22 to align with the Environment Agency’s (EA) new National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy and Action Plan. The LFRMS will continue to identify flood risk and how it is managed locally, roles and responsibilities for managing flood risk and an action plan for managing risk. In addition to this a new Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) is in the preliminary phases of production which will take a catchment-based approach to surface water flood risk based on the drainage network; it will identify areas with higher numbers of properties at risk of flooding. It will present borough-wide surface water flood risk mitigation options which can be taken forward for more detailed investigation into the feasibility, cost and benefit of options. | |

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 2021.As our average summer temperature are predicted to keep rising, we can expect heatwave temperatures to occur more frequently and in most summers.As a city, London faces a heightened level of risk from heat due to the Urban Heat Island effect. Urban landscapes absorb and trap heat more than others, which contributes to the amplification of heat effects. This can result in a 10˚C difference between London and its surroundings. This means that as temperatures keep rising, London is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of heat. London Councils have identified some of the impacts of higher temperatures on London’s transport and economy:•‘There are measures for temperatures above 24°C to prevent train tracks from buckling•At or above 33°C tarmac, asphalt and bitumen road surface begins to soften•At or above 36°C power sources begin overheating and extreme precautions – such as speed limiting– may need to be introduced to prevent rail lines buckling•At projected average and extreme higher temperatures, London’s buildings will become more uncomfortable, more expensive to run through cooling energy costs and potentially dangerous to health as a result of high internal temperatures in poorly designed offices. This could result in productivity losses, the need for retrofitting mechanical ventilation and air conditioning systems, and reduced property valuations.’Public Health England found that during Summer 2020, there were 3 periods that met the PHE heatwave definition.These periods added to a total of 19 days in heatwave conditions. PHE estimated the cumulative all-cause excess mortality around the heatwave period to be 2,556, with 311 excess deaths observed in the 0-64 years group and 2,244 excess deaths observed in the 65+years group.The retrofit work and strong building standards that we are implementing locally aims to build upon the positive steps taken by the GLA towards minimising the impact of this climate hazard. | |

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 12% of households in Richmond live in fuel poverty, based on data from the English Housing Survey and the Council supports local residents through fuel grants and a Winter Warm Service. Inefficient homes have a dual adverse impact on residents, during times of increased heat or cold. The CCC ‘Progress in Adapting to Climate Change 2021 Report to Parliament’ found that ‘cold related deaths will remain significant and mitigation action to improve the thermal comfort of homes in winter as well as summer remains urgently needed.’ | |

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. The CCC identifies that areas with growing populations, as is the case in Richmond, will be increasingly drought prone. More sophisticated metrics are needed to help inform how ecosystems are responding to climate change to better focus our response to these risks. The report highlights the potential use of remote sensing tools to improve our surface area mapping and drought predictions.The National Infrastructure Strategy (2020) requires that increased incidence of droughts is considered amongst the expected effects of climate change at the design stage for major projects.Thames Water has produced “Drought Vulnerability Surfaces (DVS)” which represent the company’s resilience / sensitivity to drought. The DVS has highlighted that the London Water resource zone is resilient to drought, but vulnerable to severe droughts with extended durations of 18 to 24 months. Thames Water note that climate change will increase the frequency and severity of droughts and we can expect more extreme droughts in the future. The company emphasises that “Supply can be maintained during extreme events through the extended use of environmentally damaging drought permits”, but this is not a sustainable or desirable long-term solution. | |

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. The borough is very susceptible to surface water flooding, seen most dramatically in the summer of 2007 and recently in July 2021. The majority of the localised flooding incidents were typically as a result of blocked gullies and/or culverts, sewer flooding or surface water flooding as the topography results in some steep slopes, especially in Richmond town centre which can form flow paths for surface water runoff and subsequently pluvial flooding at lower elevations. During heavy rains, runoff can flow very quickly along these paths and the local drainage system is unable to cope.The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 2020 highlighted that the Beverley Brook responds faster to hydrological changes, which could place a greater number of people, properties and infrastructure at risk of flooding increasing the need for flood defence and mitigation measures.

The Borough is protected against flooding from the River Thames by the Thames Tidal Defence (TTD) system. The TTD system provides protection against tidal flooding through a combination of raised flood defences, flood proofing to riverside properties and the Thames Barrier. The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 2020 highlighted that the Beverley Brook responds faster to hydrological changes, which could place a greater number of people, properties and infrastructure at risk of flooding increasing the need for flood defence and mitigation measures.

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 moisture 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 and Bushy Park, both within Richmond Borough. This is therefore already having a slight impact on Richmond residents, but may increase as a result of climate change. The identification of invasive mosquito species in Southern England can be expected to affect Richmond as a borough in this region. | |

Hubo que realizar intervenciones en servicios de electricidad y red de agua potable. Los centros educativos y la infraestructura comunal sufrieron serios daños. De continuar la deforestación, la construcción de asentamientos informales en zonas de protección del río, la disposición de desechos en el cauce del río, y las extracciones ilegales de material y el impacto será mayor. Los cambios de temperatura en el océano también favorecen la creación de huracanes. El impacto de estos podrá incidir directamente en la cantidad de precipitaciones, lo cual repercute en afectaciones en las comunidades ubicadas en la parte baja de la cuenca Río Cañas y Cuenca Tenorio. | |

Esto generó un desabastecimiento de agua en el cantón, lo que propició cortes en el suministro por hasta 8 horas en el sector central. Por otra parte, algunas comunidades rurales, perforaban pozos ilegales a una distancia muy próxima, lo que secó mantos acuíferos y nuevamente propició el consumo de arsénico en el agua. En el sector agropecuario, existió escasez de agua en los canales de riego y ocasionó inconvenientes en la planta de producción de energía hidroeléctrica por el bajo caudal de agua en los ríos. Muchos centros educativos cerraron por la falta de agua, mientras se compraban tanques reservorios para abastecerlos y resolver paliativamente la falta de recurso y prevenir la proliferación de enfermedades como la diarrea. Asimismo, la presencia de arsénico provocó que muchas personas desarrollaran Enfermedad Renal Crónica, por lo que una buena parte de la población (sumado a los trabajos que realizaban como peones de finca) esté siendo controlada médicamente por problemas renales. La escasez de agua también ha limitado el desarrollo urbanístico y comercial, ya que no se están emitiendo certificados de disponibilidad de agua (requisito para poder construir), lo cual repercute en que las personas no inviertan en construcción, personas que dependen de esta actividad estén desempleadas y que muchas familias no puedan acceder al bono de vivienda, ya que la red de agua potable sostiene la cantidad de usuarios activa que actualmente tiene. De no resolverse esta situación, es posible que el desarrollo urbanístico y comercial siga retenido, que continúen las suspensiones programadas de agua potable y que tanto la agricultura como la generación de energía hidroeléctrica se vean comprometidas. | |
