Feira de Santana
Brazil
Feira de Santana is projected to face several climate hazards that will heighten its vulnerability. The city will likely experience more frequent heatwaves, adversely impacting public health and exacerbating heat-related illnesses. Additionally, increased heavy precipitation events are anticipated, which could lead to flooding and damage to infrastructure. The risk of arbovirus transmission is expected to rise, potentially resulting in outbreaks of diseases such as dengue and Zika. Compounding these challenges, the city faces an elevated risk of malaria, which poses significant threats to health. Collectively, these hazards will create substantial challenges for the community, necessitating a focus on adaptive strategies to address future climate-related impacts on health and safety.
