Water Security14.2aPlease identify the risks to your city’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk.5Risk description1KCMO has entered into a consent decree with the US-EPA to address overflow control issues stemming from a 150 year old clay, brick, concrete and steel water transportation system. The existing system is failing and must be replaced or repaired. The consent decree, extending 25 years, is a $5.5 billion combination of repaired and new system elements. The entire program, titled "Smart Sewers" focuses initially on new green infrastructure.

13390849330Kansas CityUnited States of AmericaNorth America2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.0Has a climate change risk and vulnerability assessment been undertaken for your city?0YesThe Kansas City Water Services Department (KC Water) completed Climate Analysis study in 2016 in partnership with Climate LOOK. This study modeled the climate change risk for Kansas City, but did not complete the full vulnerability assessment on human populations. In 2020, Climate Action KC, our regional Climate Action cooperative that includes Kansas City staff and elected officials in its membership, completed a regional Climate Risk & Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) that includes the entire city limits of Kansas City, Missouri within its footprint. We are in the RFP stage of updating Kansas City's Climate Protection Plan to be an Adaptation and Mitigation plan. In the creation of the new plan, we will draw from the two existing documents and additional data received during the planning process to create a more specific CRVA for Kansas City residents.

13391049330Kansas CityUnited States of AmericaNorth America2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.0aPlease select the primary process or methodology used to undertake the risk and vulnerability assessment of your city.2Description1Risk assessment methodologyArea planning agency, Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) used IPCC guidance in creation of the Regional Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment. In addition to the Regional CRVA, the Kansas City Water Services Department (KC Water) completed Climate Analysis study in 2016 in partnership with Climate LOOK. This study modeled the climate change risk for Kansas City, using various models to create a more robust outlook. To address scientific uncertainty, future projections were based on simulations from nine global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (CCSM3, CGCM3, CNRM, ECHO, ECHAM5, GFDL-2.1, HadCM3, HadGEM, and PCM). To address the uncertainty of human activities and heat-trapping gas emissions, future projections use two very different scenarios, the report references the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change moderate emissions reduction scenario A1B and minor emissions reduction scenario A1FI. In 2020, Climate Action KC, our regional climate action collaboration that includes Kansas City staff and elected officials in its membership, completed a regional Climate Risk & Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) that includes the entire city limits of Kansas City, Missouri within its regional footprint. On behalf of Climate Action KC, MARC joined the Global Covenant of Mayors (G-CoM). Our regional effort has been recognized by the G-CoM for support and assistance in development of a plan, including the CRVA. We have worked closely with consultant Buro Happold and a designated representative of the G-CoM. Our area is one of four such regional efforts in the USA with G-CoM support.

Please provide details on the boundary of your assessment, and where this differs from your city’s boundary, please provide an explanation.5Explanation of boundary choice where the assessment boundary differs from the city boundary1The planning boundary for the regional Climate Action Plan and Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) include the nine counties in the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) region with the addition of Douglas County, Kansas. These 10 counties together represent a large and diverse region with a population of over 2.1 million people and over 900,000 housing units. Kansas City, Missouri is located in the near exact center of the region at the intersection of the five most populace counties in the planning area: Jackson, Platte and Clay in Missouri and Wyandotte and Johnson in Kansas. Because the region has for the past year been working on development of a regional climate action plan including a regional CRVA, Kansas City, MO staff have integrally involved in development of the plan and its integrated elements and almost all major findings apply to the region as well as to the greater KC metropolitan area. The only significant difference is in assessment of the impacts of the urban heat island and its impacts on vulnerable populations. This impact is more pronounced in the urban center of Kansas City as opposed to the surrounding, more rural/agricultural areas of the region.

Please provide details on the boundary of your assessment, and where this differs from your city’s boundary, please provide an explanation.9Please explain1The risk section of Regional CRVA is organized by natural hazards of high probability, including flooding, extreme heat, drought, severe thunderstorms, and tornados. For each hazard it lists the vulnerable populations most likely to be affected by that hazard. It then notes the impact of each hazard on sectors, assets, and services. The vulnerability section is mapped based on the intersection of socioeconomic stressors layered over the natural hazards. The region's adaptive capacity is analyzed through factors within the human system, including built environment, economy, natural environment, government capacity, inequality, and public health.
