Extreme Weather and Climate Hazard Impacts on Energy and Water Utilities: Implications for Department of the Air Force Installation Climate Resilience Planning

In this report, we present an approach for estimating utility system exposure to extreme weatherand climate-related hazards for the purposes of informing where the Department of the Air Force (DAF) might consider prioritizing deep-dive vulnerability assessments. The approach explored herein uses geography to define the unit of study for conducting utility system exposure assessments (i.e., to one region of the United States) and for informing the area over which relevant exposure measures can and should be calculated for a given utility system. Furthermore, the findings and recommendations (1) consider the decisionmaking contexts under which the DAF could use regional perspectives to support installation level-planning and (2) offer insights on how to best leverage existing extreme weather and climate hazard data, information, and tools to help meet planning objectives.The intended audience for this report is the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Environment, Safety, and Infrastructure, as well as DAF engineers, logisticians, and installation planners. Utility resilience is a broad area of concern within the joint community as well, and this report might also be of interest to utility managers and community planners.

Background and Objective: External factors such as lithology, climate, slopes, land cover and soil have been carried out to provide solutions in anticipating and responding to land degradation, but disasters still occur. So it is imperative to see the impact of internal soil factors on some potential land use land cover in this area to answer and anticipate the effects of climate change in predicting the susceptibility of the soil to disasters. This study aims to study the soil micromorphology of some land cover in the landslide susceptibility area of the Kelara Subwatershed in Rumbia District, Jeneponto Regency of South Sulawesi. Materials and Methods: The study is descriptive exploratory through field surveys and supported by data from laboratory analysis. Laboratory analyses include soil texture analysis, particle density, bulk density, porosity, permeability and thin section analysis for micromorphological observations in soil. Results: The clay fraction content increased >25% in all land cover due to increased rainfall since 2010, which triggered an increase in soil mineral weathering activity. Land use for mixed plants showed a significant increase in clay >30% and plane voids. Permeability in the mixed plant reached 0.42 cm hrG 1 with category very slow has significantly different from another land cover and induced landslide. Conclusion: Increasing clay and decreasing soil permeability trigger the formation of plane voids which cause the soil to undergo a micro shrinking and slipping process and internal micro-shifts. It is the key to improving soil susceptibility to landslides in mixed plant land use in the sloping area.

“…Scholars like Hedlund et al [39], Lawrence et al [58], and Huang & Zhai [43], have noted that although the precise scope of these effects is unknown and will vary greatly between and within regions, climate change is predicted to have a signi cant impact on the built environment. Increased rainfall, permafrost thawing, an increase in wild re frequency, strong storms, and oods are some of the effects of climate change on the built environment [24,93,29,63,68]. Nonetheless, a lot of buildings are susceptible to extreme weather events and climate change, and the location of built assets determines how vulnerable they are [29,64,68], without making investments in resilience, this vulnerability will inevitably grow [28].…”

The increase in the demand for buildings to cater to the rising population and urbanization has contributed to extreme climate change due to the continuous emission of greenhouse gases during the construction and operational stages of the building. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the potential of smart buildings as a tool for combating climate change and mitigating its adverse impacts on the environment. A mixed-methods approach of interview guides, an observation checklist, and a questionnaire were used for this study. A total of ten buildings from various countries were chosen using the purposive sampling approach. Structured interviews and questionnaires were conducted and administered to building industry professionals to understand how smart buildings help mitigate climate change. Findings indicate that smart buildings help keep an eye on energy consumption, thereby lowering the quantity of greenhouse gases released while the building is in use. Also, research shows that the integration of smartness in buildings through material and method use lessens the environmental impact of building construction and operation and contributes to a more sustainable built environment. The research concluded that, due to the increasing climate change, the integration of smartness into our buildings is of utmost importance in addressing climate change and its effects. This will also provide a more sustainable and resilient environment while accommodating future population growth.
