Cagayan de Oro
Philippines
Cagayan de Oro is projected to face severe climate challenges, including heavy rainfall events that may lead to flooding and waterlogged conditions. Concurrently, the city is expected to experience prolonged drought conditions, reducing water availability and affecting agriculture. Moreover, the risk of arbovirus transmission is anticipated to increase, particularly during seasons of high rainfall, while elevated malaria risk poses additional public health challenges. These interconnected climate hazards establish a complex vulnerability landscape for Cagayan de Oro, necessitating a closer examination of future risks and impacts on the community.
Hazard Outlook
