Climate resilience context

Athens uses the Georgia state resilience seed. The scenarios linked to this city page are flooding, freezes and winter cold snaps, and hurricanes / coastal tropical storms; they are state-level hazards, not city incident claims.

• flooding

  Georgia flooding comes from tropical rain, clay soils, urban stormwater, and river systems that can crest after the wind has passed.

• freezes and winter cold snaps

  Georgia rare freezes are high-impact because many homes have exterior hose bibs, shallow lines, and plumbing in lightly insulated spaces.

• hurricanes / coastal tropical storms

  Georgia combines coastal surge around the barrier islands with inland tropical rain and wind that can reach Atlanta-area tree canopy and older roof systems.
