Climate resilience context

Kent uses the Ohio state resilience seed. The scenarios linked to this city page are freezes and winter cold snaps, tornadoes, and straight-line wind storms; they are state-level hazards, not city incident claims.

freezes and winter cold snaps
Ohio freeze events combine lake-effect snow, ice, wind, and older housing stock where pipes often run through unconditioned spaces.
tornadoes
Ohio tornadoes are often part of fast-moving spring and summer systems, and the same storms can bring hail, roof damage, and power outages.
straight-line wind storms
Ohio windstorms include derechos, lake-enhanced lows, and fast frontal lines that damage roof edges, gutters, trees, and service masts.
