Climate Hazard Breakdown for Wyoming

increasing

Flood

60/100

Wyoming faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its proximity to waterways and low-lying areas. Climate change is expected to increase rainfall intensity, exacerbating flood risk.

Key drivers:

  • ·Increased rainfall intensity
  • ·Sea level rise
increasing

Bushfire

40/100

Wyoming has a moderate bushfire risk due to surrounding bushland. Hotter, drier conditions are projected to increase the frequency and intensity of bushfires.

Key drivers:

  • ·Increased temperatures
  • ·Decreased rainfall
increasing

Heat

70/100

Wyoming is likely to experience more frequent and intense heatwaves. This poses a risk to vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with chronic health conditions.

Key drivers:

  • ·Increased greenhouse gas emissions
  • ·Urban heat island effect
increasing

Coastal

10/100

Wyoming is not directly on the coast and has a low risk from coastal hazards. Sea level rise may indirectly affect the suburb through impacts on nearby coastal areas.

About Wyoming's Climate Risk Profile

Wyoming, located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, is susceptible to several climate-related hazards. The suburb's proximity to waterways increases its vulnerability to flooding, which is projected to worsen with increased rainfall intensity due to climate change.

Bushfire risk is also a concern, given the surrounding bushland. Hotter and drier conditions are expected to increase the frequency and intensity of bushfires, posing a threat to properties and residents.

Heatwaves are another significant hazard, with Wyoming likely to experience more frequent and intense heat events. This can lead to heat stress and other health problems, especially for vulnerable populations.

While coastal risks are relatively low, sea level rise could indirectly affect Wyoming through impacts on nearby coastal areas. It is important for residents to stay informed and take steps to prepare for these climate-related hazards.
