The main hazard to timber is biological attack. In milder climates this is mainly rot due to fungal infections together with insect borers. In hot... 

Dust content In hot, dry climates the opposite problem occurs. Water evaporates, and the dust and fine particles may blow away, causing pollution and a nuisance hazard. This fugitive dust is controlled by spraying the fuel pile with water containing a polymeric dust binder that physically holds the particles together.

The mayonnaise behavior here discussed is of considerable practical importance, because of the potential spoilage hazard incurred when mayonnaise is placed in transit or in storage in cold climates or at winter temperatures in temperate climates.

Revise codes, such as flood plain mapping and climate data and return frequencies for hazard-prone areas, adjusting to new realities, i.e., 100-year floods become 500-year floods, higher snow and wind loads. 

Although mitigation efforts may influence the timing and severity of climate change, adaptation efforts are also necessary. Climate change will lead to inevitable natural hazards, but need not necessarily lead to natural disasters. 

Atmospheric information, including local climate (precipitation, temperature, wind speed and direction, presence of inversion layers), weather extremes (storms, floods, winds), release characteristics (direction and speed of plume movement, rate, amount, and temperature of release, relative densities), and types of atmospheric hazards and hazards assessment... 

The site conditions for an on-site landfill, such as location, geology, hydrogeology, physiography, climate, and so on, should also be suitable. Landfill should meet the minimum technology requirements and regulations for hazardous waste landfills such as double liners and leachate collection and removal systems, leak detection systems, closure procedures and final cover, and construction quality assurance.59... 

With this kind of financial products, the insurance industry tries to reach two goals. First, there is the need for extra capital and to spread risks beyond the insurance sector. Particularly, cat bonds are used to spread insurance risk in the financial sector. The second goal is to improve the accuracy and the resolution of hazard data and the likely impacts on climate change with the involvement of financial market forecast ability. 

The second kind of insurance products that stimulate adaptation is based on the availability of capital to cope with catastrophes. These are financial arrangements intended to bring needed capital that will reduce the risk that could derive from future climate-related hazards for those who are most likely to be in peril. These products can be defined as adaptation oriented because they help to build the capacity of nations, communities, and businesses to cope with climate change impacts.

In humid or wet climates, ED breaks down rapidly. It is more persistent in shaded desert areas and creates the greatest hazard in buildings and underground structures such as tunnels, caves, utility conduits, and stagnant sewer lines.1 As a form of calibration, a downwind evacuation from a 55-gallon spill should be a minimum of 1.0 mile.2 See Table 3.3 for a summary of the symptoms of exposure and potential medical treatment options. 

In colder climates, enclosures may be necessary to mitigate freeze-related hazards. In enclosed process buildings, additional fire protection features should be added to compensate for reduced ventilation and dissipation of flammable vapors, limited access for firefighting, and handling of runoff from spills.
