Climate change impact assessment is critical for creating adequate climate mitigation and adaptation policies plans. Critical infrastructure systems (e.g., water energy systems) are particularly at risk impacts. In fact, a better understanding of impacts on the would facilitate fulfillment SDG2 (end hunger), SDG 6 (clean sanitation), 7 (affordable clean energy), 11 (sustainable cities communities), 13 (climate action), with many indirect benefits across other areas. Nonetheless, conducting assessment, community-level, not an easy task. Often, models require access to substantial computational resources run complex models, as well expertise work those interpret their results, which may be possible all communities. As such, there need expand include more accessible that can handle high-resolution, local data interest Here, we highlight how studies benefit from power artificial intelligence (AI). The report details use AI model conduct computationally efficient assessment. This applied case study United States America (U.S.) example showcase insights it generates in real-world applications. To demonstrate this process, will focus coupled electricity demand water-electricity nexus). demonstrates two different means collecting future data—Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) Earth System Models (ESMs) contemporary analogs. Our results show significant increases Midwestern U.S. when using ESM-derived data.

Abstract Accelerating permafrost thaw and coastal erosion in rural Alaska destabilize the built environment, increasing risk of sociotechnical failures that negatively impact nearby communities. Infrastructure adaptation is necessary to mitigate these threats, yet epistemic uncertainty remains about where most exposed infrastructure located corresponding community failure. As a result, existing activity may not be prioritized according relative need, potentially reducing efficiency effectiveness activity. To address this gap, study seeks identify likely failures, cascading impacts, as well which communities are experience them. do so, employs machine learning techniques terrain maps vulnerable coastlines. Using density-based cluster mapping, statistical summarization, semi-cognitive we explore locations functions infrastructure, interdependencies occurring on Alaskan Results suggest following improve outcomes: (1) allocate public funding support (2) increase financial physical resources for resilience research development (3) expand access through increased local input decision-making. For instance, results show water sewer Bethel census area highly exposed, could additional organizations repair relocate such infrastructure. Through changes, regional can become more prioritized—ensuring funds pressing needs.

In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri left 11 million people in Texas without power, caused widespread water outages, and inflicted billions of dollars damage. While the severity this event was primarily by electricity generator failures, it made worse decisions utilities state regulators before, during, after event. This study seeks to (1) evaluate procedures electric during Uri, (2) provide a set recommendations improve resilience energy systems preparation for future extreme weather events. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with across underwent hybrid inductive-deductive qualitative coding. The analysis identified issues present operations decision-making processes as well potential solutions five dimensions resilience. outlines help ensure that are better prepared respond disaster events minimize community impacts, such sectionalizing circuits load shed, collaborating neighboring share resources, expanding use social media customer outreach.

Winter Storm Uri slammed Texas between February 13-17, 2021, and caused widespread power outages. Understanding the impacts of this catastrophic event on local communities has important meaning. In study, we examine winter storm its impact disparities different population groups over three stages disaster: initial-hit stage, power-outage recovery stage. The study focuses Harris County, which was severely affected by storm. We leverage home-dwelling time information from anonymized mobile phone location data to constrained mobility people due as a way quantify communities. Considering that may be outages, further integrate nighttime light (NTL) images into our analyses assess during use other two (i.e., stage stage). results reveal disparate in disaster. also find with socioeconomic demographic backgrounds, especially These help us better understand event, inform future response mitigation efforts identifying vulnerable communities, allocating resources, curtailing negative similar disasters.

Abstract Failures in urban water systems are becoming a common occurrence the US due to disasters, aging infrastructure, and financial constraints, among other concerns. For example, Jackson, Mississippi has experienced reoccurring outages, burdening community members as they must seek alternative sources. Prior research primarily focused on technical, institutional, public health aspects of crises, with limited attention perspectives. Understanding such social can shed light on, for priorities, levels trust, mental concerns, communication gaps. Here, we document temporal experiences perceptions during Jackson Water Crises. To do so, qualitatively analyzed news media data employed topic modeling techniques from two years, capturing service disruption events. Our results reveal cascading impacts outages end-users, including financial, social, technical issues. over time, indicate that trust government providers eroded, which may hinder support. show be useful tool utilities understand real-time. Recommendations proposed here inform future responses crises communities, ensuring end-users’ perspectives incorporated.

Key Takeaways Water service providers need to prepare for more extreme weather events in a changing climate. A geospatial analysis found that differences boil‐water advisory lengths issued during 2021's Winter Storm Uri were based on the population served and rural or urban location. cross‐sectional survey showed many individuals unaware of confused about advisories (or not) issued.
