Integrated Island , Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Climate Adaptation Actions to N <br /> Climate Action Plan for the Build Local Resilience to Climate Change � �� <br /> Hazard Mapping <br /> Climate Cascades 3 and 4 are characterized by five hazards each, and Climate Cascade 5 is <br /> characterized by six hazards. The datasets used to map hazard areas for each cascade are listed in <br /> Table 1 and described in more detail in Appendix A. <br /> Table 1.Cascade exposure analysis:hazards analyzed by cascade <br /> CASCADE3 CASCADE41 <br /> Drought an• Sea Level TropicalCyclones <br /> • Extreme Rainfall Rise and Storm <br /> Drought(93-year drought trends) • <br /> Wildfire communities at risk rating (high) • <br /> Riverine flooding(FEMA FIRM A/AE Zones) • • • <br /> High winds (Average wind speeds at 50m above ground: <br /> moderate (greater the 5 meters/second) and high (greater • <br /> than 8.5 meters/second)severity) <br /> Landslides (medium/high susceptibility) • • • <br /> Chronic coastal flooding with 3.2 feet of sea level rise <br /> (passive inundation only, SLRXA-3.2) • <br /> Event-based coastal flooding with 3.2 feet of sea level <br /> rise(projected future, 1%Annual Chance Coastal Flood • • <br /> Zone, 1%CFZ-3.2) <br /> Event-based coastal flooding (historical; FEMA DFIRM <br /> V/VE Zone) • • <br /> Hurricane—Wind(Category 4 with peak gusts greater than <br /> 125 miles per hour.) • <br /> Hurricane—Storm surge(Category 4) • <br /> Total Number of Hazards 5 5 6 <br /> By mapping all relevant hazards, this analysis was able to identify the number of hazards with the <br /> potential to occur at any location in the County for each climate cascade. A given location might be <br /> susceptible to multiple hazards. An example of the cascade exposure levels for a cascade with five <br /> hazards is shown in Figure 7. <br /> Climate Cascades 10 <br />
