Climate resilience context

Covington uses the Kentucky state resilience seed. The scenarios linked to this city page are flooding, freezes and winter cold snaps, and tornadoes; they are state-level hazards, not city incident claims.

• flooding

  Kentucky's flood risk is serious in hollows, creek valleys, and river towns where steep terrain turns heavy rain into fast water.

• freezes and winter cold snaps

  Kentucky cold waves can freeze crawlspace pipes, shut down heat pumps without backup heat, and create ice-dam leaks on older roofs.

• tornadoes

  Kentucky has a real lower Ohio Valley tornado risk, including nighttime outbreaks and long-track storms that can cross county lines quickly.
