Community Values and Conversation

Climate Change expectations Medium term Event Before After Avg. Summer temp 68˚ 74˚-82˚ Days over 90˚ 5-20 30-60 Annual precipitation 41” 44-47” Peak storms INCREASE Data uncertainties and sensitivity Possible regional predictive model

Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning Evolving natural hazards FEMA: “…sustained action to reduce or eliminate long-term risk…from natural hazards…” Northampton=$2.5 million FEMA mitigation Less expensive than disaster: 100 year storm=$25 million

Northampton Hazard Assessment Type Location Probability Impact Hazard Risk Flooding Medium High Limited 2 Severe Ice and Snowstorms Large Minor 3 Severe Thunderstorms / winds / tornadoes Small / Small / Medium Low / Low / Very Low Critical 2 / 4 Hurricanes Low Wildfire/Brushfire Small 4 Earthquakes Very low Dike/Dam Failure Catastrophic

Zoning for Climate Change Flood Hazard Areas: 100 & 500 year

Added Flood Hazard: Dike Breach

Critical Infrastructure Affected Hazard Area Critical Facilities Flooding Mill & Connecticut Rivers IF dikes fail, all downtown Severe Snowstorms / Ice Storms Entire City Hospital power outage Nursing Homes Severe Thunderstorms / wind / tornadoes Entire City: Pine Brook (2000), Burts Pit (2002) Site Specific Hurricanes IF dike fail, all downtown Wild/Brushfire Western Northampton Watershed Lands Earthquakes Emergency operations; all structures; shelters; waste treatment Dam Failure Mill River Downstream structures Drought Fire fighting operations

Health Assessment Climate Change Public health at the table Address social equity Community conversation More informed vulnerability assessment

Climate Adaptation Street trees from warmer climates No-build in 500 year floodplain Storm-water standards Land-use for walkable communities Micro-grid underway (shelter, DPW, hospital) Green infrastructure for stormwater Emergency cooling shelter
