Tropical cyclone-blackout-heatwave compound hazard resilience in a changing climate

K. Feng, M. Ouyang, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Kairui Feng, Min Ouyang, and Ning Lin reveals alarming projections about tropical cyclone-blackout-heatwave hazards in Harris County, Texas. Under a high-emissions scenario, the risk of prolonged compound hazards could skyrocket by a factor of 23, threatening the well-being of residents. The study emphasizes the critical need for climate adaptation strategies to bolster resilience against these future challenges.
