caption: 'Extreme weather events can affect multiple systems that provide services for millions of people in urban settings. The satellite images depict city lights on a normal night (left) and immediately following Hurricane Sandy (right). Approximately five million customers in the New York metropolitan region lost power. (Figure source: NASA Earth Observatory080733e4-0e59-4a5a-b3c8-86f4c5a16b04).'

caption: 'In urban settings, climate-related disruptions of services in one infrastructure system will almost always result in disruptions in one or more other systems. When power supplies that serve urban areas are interrupted after a major weather event, for example, public health, transportation, and banking systems may all be affected. This schematic drawing illustrates some of these connections. (Figure source: adapted from Wilbanks et al. 2012f0803451-5a89-474a-974f-99c13fdc725d).'

caption: 'Map shows areas in New Yorkâs five boroughs that are projected to face increased flooding over the next 70 years, assuming an increased rate of sea level rise from the past centuryâs average. As sea level rises, storm surges reach farther inland. Map does not represent precise flood boundaries, but illustrates projected increases in areas flooded under various sea level rise scenarios.
