Some types of extreme weather may be increasing. These can cause loss of life, injury, mental stress and damage to infrastructure. Consideration of emerging threats is critical for adapting to climate change. Developing comprehensive hazard risk scenarios are helpful to understand potential threat levels. Developing living hazard plans that can be updated regularly is recommended, and coordination between community and emergency planners to ensure that infrastructure design takes into account new understanding about environmental conditions today and for the future.
