Las zonas más afectadas por este peligro regularmente son asentamientos informales, que se establecen en los márgenes de los ríos. Con el cambio climático se ha percibido un incremento en la intensidad de las lluvias a lo que se le suma un crecimiento urbano desordenado y hacia la zona norte de la ciudad, incrementando la superficie impermeable y con ausencia de un sistema de colector de aguas pluviales, lo intensificara el riesgo ante este peligro. | |

| 4062 | Cities 2021 | 862673 | City of Selkirk, MB | Canada | North America | 2.

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 | Medium | Medium Low | Increased demand for healthcare services; Increased demand for public services; Increased risk to already vulnerable populations | Commercial; Emergency services; Environment, biodiversity, forestry; Public health; Residential; Transport; Water supply & sanitation | Elderly; Indigenous population; Low-income households; Persons living in sub-standard housing; Persons with disabilities | Increasing | Increasing | Medium High | Medium-term (2026-2050) | In June 2016, a month's worth of rain fell in a 24-hour period, resulting in flash flooding that damaged infrastructure across the city, but was particularly devastating to underinsured homeowners/renters.With the summer season stretching out longer into the traditional spring and fall seasons, there is an increased risk of summer-like storm development. Associated with these storms is high winds, increased heavy rainfall with the potential of hail, as well as lightning. If Selkirk begins to receive these heavy rainfall events in the spring months, when they already face the threat of Red River flooding, rainfall amounts could exceed the capacity of the storm sewer, resulting in increased sewer backups into residential properties. | |

This precipitation will come as a heavier wet snowfall compared to what has been seen in the recent past (1976-2005). This precipitation will also come in a more concentrated amount of time as the date of first fall frost is pushed later into the year, and the date of last spring frost occurs earlier. | |

If Selkirk begins to receive heavy rainfall events in the spring months, when they already face the threat of Red River flooding, rainfall amounts could exceed the capacity of the storm sewer, resulting in increased sewer backups into residential properties. | |

Lightning strikes coincide with hot and dry spells may also lead to more fires. | |

Currently, the City of Selkirk's water supply has proven to be resilient but should droughts get longer and more intense as is projected, that water security for the community has the potential to be put in jeopardy. | |

One of the consequences of these events is the increased stress placed on furnaces and heating systems in buildings, as well as snow removal equipment, resulting in higher maintenance requirements. These extreme cold snaps will also threaten the reliability of fire hydrants; if water accumulates and freezes during a polar vortex outbreak it may leave the hydrant temporarily unusable or cause long-term damage | |

According to climate models, the number of very hot days, which is defined as a day of 30°C or higher, is anticipated to increase from 9 annually in the recent past (1976-2005) to up to 43 a year (on average) in the near future (2051-2080). In addition to very hot days, the nights will be warmer as well. Tropical nights are defined as nights when the lowest temperature does not go below 20°C, and according to climate model predictions, this number will increase from 1 a year in the recent past, up to 15 per year (on average) in the near future (2051-2080). Heat wave events are defined as three or more consecutive days that are 32°C or higher. Currently this is rare in Selkirk, but it is likely going to become more frequent. This can have significant health implications on the public, especially the elderly and the disadvantaged – putting large strain on health services. In addition, these heat waves heighten the risk of grass and urban fires. | |

Description
The dataset contains 2021 data on cities' climate hazards, reported by cities through the CDP-ICLEI Unified Reporting System in response to question 2.1 (" Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity.") in the 2021 Cities questionnaire. View cities questionnaire guidance at https://www.cdp.net/en/guidance/guidance-for-cities. Please contact cities@cdp.net if you have any questions.
This data is collected through the CDP-ICLEI Unified Reporting System. When using this data, please cite both organisations using the following wording: ‘This data was collected in partnership by CDP and ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability’.
