Ayuntamiento de Mérida, a través de la Dirección de Desarrollo Sustentable, ha preparado las bases para las posibles acciones de prevención. El presente documento tiene como objetivo proporcionar información apoyada en parámetros ambientales (expresados en series de tiempo) y bases técnicas sobre clasificaciones de mayor a menor vulnerabilidad a riesgos, ante la condición de cambio climático. Estos esfuerzos en conjunto fortalecerán las bases para las líneas de acción que contribuyan a generar políticas públicas para reducir la vulnerabilidad de la población ante la presencia de contingencias.El Atlas de Riesgos del Municipio de Mérida, Yucatán es una propuesta que contribuye para actuar desde un plano preventivo, mediante la generación de estrategias y líneas de acción para la adaptación y mitigación vinculadas a la reducción de riesgos de daños materiales, sociales y económicos. ObjetivosGenerar un instrumento de identificación y zonificación de riesgos y peligros naturales y antrópicos del territorio municipal, que permita identificar a la población vulnerable expuesta ante un riesgo de origen natural o antrópico.I.2.1. Objetivos Específicos➢ Identificar y generar en el ámbito municipal los procedimientos para la integración, homologación y estandarización de la información de los peligros de tipo geológico e hidrometeorológico que permitan, la definición de zonas de riesgo.➢ Proporcionar un sustento metodológico para fundamentar líneas de acción y estrategias de adaptación y mitigación de riesgos, que contribuyan a reducir el uso de esquemas tradicionales basados en acciones reactivas ante una situación de desastre.➢ Bajo criterios generales de Zonificación de Peligro, se relacionan variables sociales y ambientales (temperatura y precipitación) que sirven de base técnica para la realización de estrategias y medidas de adaptación y mitigación para diferentes tipos de riesgos ante el cambio climático.El Atlas de Riesgos naturales y antrópicos propone una zonificación sustentada en un marco técnico científico para expedir nuevos lineamientos que faciliten un re-ordenamiento del territorio, así como políticas para aminorar el riesgo, la ubicación de riesgos con respecto a las zonas previstas para ser urbanizadas, anticipar el deterioro ambiental, dar certeza a los procesos de mitigación que definan las autoridades competentes, así como la cultura de la difusión de prevención en la población.1.2.2 MetaMediante el uso de herramientas y técnicas, como el análisis estadístico y programas para el manejo de bases geográficas, generar modelos geoespaciales que proporcionen información geográfica para la generación de líneas de acción y estrategias de adaptación y mitigación de riesgos ante el cambio climático. El atlas de Riesgos y Vulnerabilidad, fue realizado en el periodo anterior de la gestion municipal (2015-2018), cabe señalar que por motivos de la pandemia, se realizaron recortes presupuestales, priorizando las emergencias sanitarias de la ciudad, así como de los grupos vulnerables. La administración municipal (2018-2021) esta por finalizar en Agosto del 2021, por lo que se pretende realizar la actualización del Atlas de Riesgos durante el primer año de la administración municipal, que comprende el periodo del 2021-2024

Además, se espera que los conceptos y acciones relacionados con el cambio climático se incluyan en el Plan Maestro de Desarrollo Urbano para la próxima administración (2022-2024).La Iniciativa Global de Ciudades Inteligentes de Morgenstadt (MGI) es un proyecto de cooperación para el desarrollo internacional financiado por el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente alemán a través de la Iniciativa Climática Internacional (IKI). Tiene como objetivo inducir un cambio transformador hacia el desarrollo urbano sostenible en las ciudades asociadas Kochi (India), Piura (Perú) y Saltillo (México), especialmente en lo que respecta a la mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático. Para lograrlo, en cada una de las ciudades se ha realizado un análisis exhaustivo del sistema urbano, así como la identificación y el desarrollo de soluciones intersectoriales sostenibles junto con las principales partes interesadas locales siguiendo el enfoque del Morgenstadt City Lab (Morgenstadt Global Smart Cities Iniciativa 2020).Como parte del City Lab Saltillo, se llevó a cabo una evaluación de riesgo y vulnerabilidad para los impactos del cambio climático, que incluyó una revisión de la literatura y una evaluación de expertos realizada por expertos de laboratorios locales y de la ciudad. Se centró en seis grupos de riesgo que se percibieron como los más críticos para la ciudad, a saber, fuertes lluvias e inundaciones de aguas pluviales, nevadas y heladas, escasez de agua y sequías, aumento de la temperatura e islas de calor urbano, incendios forestales, así como el cambio en el entorno biológico. sistema. También evaluó las medidas de adaptación que ya ha implementado la ciudad de Saltillo para enfrentar estos riesgos. Este informe presenta el marco de evaluación aplicado, los métodos utilizados, así como los resultados completos del análisis. Termina resumiendo las ideas y recomendaciones generales y vincula los riesgos climáticos evaluados y las vulnerabilidades con las ideas del proyecto que se han desarrollado dentro del proceso de City Lab. Además, se sugiere un conjunto de indicadores que pueden usarse para evaluar las contribuciones que dichos proyectos pueden tener en la construcción de resiliencia frente a los riesgos climáticos discutidos

The 2018 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan also includes tribal annexes for the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe and the Moapa Band of Paiutes. The jurisdictions in Clark County all face similar risks; thus, each municipality benefits from collaboration and the coordinated planning of the Clark County 2018 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan.Clark County is on the southernmost tip of the State of Nevada and shares borders with Nye County and Lincoln County in Nevada. Interstate neighbors are California and Arizona. The majority of the County’s metropolitan area is located in the valley (Las Vegas Valley), surrounded by several mountain ranges. Clark County is approximately 434 kilometers (270 miles) northeast of Los Angeles, CA and 450 kilometers (280 miles) northwest of Phoenix, AZ. The County covers an area of 20,877 square kilometers (8,061 square miles), approximately 438 square kilometers (169 square miles) of which are covered by water and the remaining 20,438 square kilometers (7,891 square miles) are covered by land.The majority of the population, an estimated 2,205,207 (2016) is located in the Las Vegas Valley, with the area being made up of unincorporated Clark County, City of Las Vegas, City of North Las Vegas, and City of Henderson. The City of Boulder City and the city of Mesquite are municipalities outside the valley.There are 33 relatively small unincorporated communities and census-designated places in Clark County. The unincorporated communities include: Arden; Cactus Springs; Cottonwood Cove; Coyote Springs; Glendale; Jean, Logandale; Mountain Springs; Nelson; Overton; Primm; Sloan; and Sutor.

They determined that these hazards are still threats to the County and should continue to be addressed in the 2018 HMP. However, the decided that utility failure was more of a secondary hazard and would be better addressed as a vulnerable asset within the vulnerability analysis and mitigation strategy of the 2018 HMP. In addition, the group decided that climate change should be included in the plan based on recent disaster declarations and increasing hazard impacts.The following hazards, including all natural hazards that may affect Clark County, are profiled in the 2018 HMP. - Climate Change- Dam Failure- Drought- Earthquake- Flood- Hazardous Materials- Infectious Disease- Infestation- Subsidence and Fissures- Terrorism- WildfireHazard profiling consists of describing the nature of the hazard, disaster history, location of hazard, extent/severity, and probability of future events. Hazard profiles have been developed for each of the 11 hazards addressed. According to the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide CPG) 201: Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Guide—Second Edition (CPG 201) drought, earthquake, flood, and wildfire are classified natural hazards while dam failure and hazardous materials releases are classified as a technological hazards and violence/attacks are classified as a human-caused hazard.

A adoção da Estratégia Municipal de Adaptação às Alterações Climáticas pretende promover uma resposta concertada, coerente e consequente às múltiplas problemáticas relacionadas com as alterações climáticas, pelo que tem em consideração a totalidade do território municipal.Relevant city departmentYesEnvironment, Biodiversity and Forestry; Food and agriculture; Land use planning; Public health; Tourism; Water Supply & SanitationOs principais riscos futuros para Évora estão relacionados com a indisponibilidade hídrica e a sua conjugação com temperaturas elevadas de verão, diminuição da precipitação média anual e o aumento da sua sazonalidade projetada com efeitos na sua disponibilidade, distribuição, escoamento das linhas de água e nas reservas de água subterrâneas e superficiais, atingindo de forma transversal diversos setores dependentes dos recursos hídricos, designadamente agricultura, pecuária, energia e florestas, ecossistemas e valores naturais do município e turismo:A atividade agrícola, tal como a conhecemos atualmente, sofrerá efeitos particularmente negativos, sendo de prever uma acentuada diminuição da produtividade das culturas cerealíferas e das pastagens de sequeiro que, por sua vez, se refletirá na pecuária extensiva, na tradicional paisagem alentejana e na biodiversidade a ela associada.Ao nível deste setor, os impactos económicos deverão manifestar-se em variações interanuais dos rendimentos, com anos marcados pela perda de parte, ou totalidade, das produções características desta zona do país, como a vinha, olival e produções cerealíferas. Sendo de prever que a tendência para criar novas áreas de regadio, de modo a compensar as perdas de produtividade e o aumento das necessidades hídricas, conduzirão a um maior consumo de água para rega e a um esgotamento mais acelerado das reservas superficiais e subterrâneas do município. A produção animal extensiva, que poderá ser favorecida pelo aumento da temperatura nos meses de inverno, contará com um período primavera-verão onde a conjugação da escassez de chuva e temperaturas elevadas dificultarão o abeberamento e a alimentação do gado, por via da diminuição da produtividade e qualidade das pastagens de sequeiro, a redução do tempo de pastoreio e consequentemente do aumento das necessidades de utilização de alimentos conservados. As culturas protegidas e a produção animal intensiva serão afetadas com o aumento da frequência e intensidade das ondas de calor que influenciam diretamente o bem-estar animal e as produções em viveiros, estufas, armazenagem de produtos agrícolas, etc.Os espaços florestais serão afetados ao nível do rendimento económico e da capacidade de proporcionar bens e serviços. Num município onde 41% da ocupação do solo corresponde a floresta dominada por povoamentos de sobro e azinho, o impacto das alterações climáticas será bastante relevante, especialmente quando associado à possibilidade do ótimo ecológico do sobreiro estar em deslocação para norte onde poderá encontrar um ambiente mais húmido. Considera-se que os problemas que atualmente já contribuem para o declínio dos povoamentos de sobreiro serão agravados pelo stress hídrico e pela perda de fertilidade dos solos, tornando-os ainda mais vulneráveis a pragas e doenças que contribuirão para a sua regressão e consequente perda de valores económicos, sociais, ambientais e paisagísticos a ele associados. Os efeitos sobre os ecossistemas naturais ou seminaturais são complexos, contudo podemos considerar que as consequências sobre o montado de sobro, sobre as culturas cerealíferas e sobre os recursos hídricos afetam significativamente os principais valores naturais e a biodiversidade do município. É de prever ainda o alargamento do período de risco de incêndio às estações do outono e primavera, assim como o aumento da frequência e da magnitude dos incêndios quer por influência dos cenários climáticos projetados quer pela previsível diminuição da atividade humana no espaço rural.A alteração do atual clima mediterrânico, para um clima mais árido, com mais dias considerados muito quentes e mais ondas de calor, conduzirá a uma maior incidência de stress térmico, aumento do desconforto e da mortalidade sobretudo nas pessoas mais vulneráveis como crianças, idosos e pessoas fragilizadas por algumas patologias. Ainda em termos de saúde humana é de pressupor que as plantas, que normalmente polinizavam entre março e julho polinizem mais cedo, dando origem a picos de concentração de pólenes mais elevados e consequentemente, aumentando o período de incidência das doenças respiratórias alérgicas como a asma, sinusites e rinites.Por sua vez, estas condições podem-se revelar dissuasoras para o turismo no concelho, durante os meses mais quentes, tendo em conta que os principais interesses correspondem à realização de circuitos turísticos. Esta tendência, pode ser agravada pelas previsíveis restrições no uso de água, aumento dos fogos florestais e dos problemas de saúde. Todos estes impactos trazem, além dos riscos económicas e patrimoniais, o aumentam do risco de abandono de atividades que tradicionalmente moldam o território alentejano, conduzindo naturalmente a outras consequências, como despovoamento humano, redução da gestão do espaço rural, aumento do potencial de incêndio e descaracterização da paisagem alentejana tal como hoje a conhecemos.
