Drought, Heat wave and Wildfire Climate Impacts in Clark County Decision-making framework for low probability, high impact events The Super Sixes: Rachel Warren, Jareth Holt, ShuchiTalati, Lan Hoang, Katie Loa, Casey Hagelson
Road Map • Problem • Objective & Stakeholders • Work Plan • Mock Event Tree
Problem Compound risk of multiple coinciding extreme events result in increased risk of heat-related illnesses, increased risk of peak energy demand, increased risk of power outages, etc. How should decision-makers (public health officials, power sector, government officials) plan for these events in the short and long-term?
Objective To assess and present a framework for low probability, high heat-related impacts of climate change on Clark County and potential alternatives to address these impacts Stakeholder: City of Las Vegas Deliverable: White paper
Work Plan (1) • Split into 2 groups (climate events and impacts & alternatives group) • Climate group: • Current probabilities • Future probabilities • Indicators & forecasting • Impacts group: • Inherent vulnerabilities • Range of potential alternatives • Cost assessments
