Infrastructure systems, such as buildings, schools, roads, bridges, water lines, sewage systems, communication systems, and power plants, are a fundamental part of daily life. Both rapid and gradual climate changes can affect these systems and have significant impacts on society. Extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, and tornadoes, can heavily damage infrastructure, creating large clean-up and rebuilding costs. Heavy rains can overwhelm sewer and storm-water systems. Droughts can cause water shortages. Gradually changing temperatures can affect energy costs and air quality, as well as water quality and availability over time. A rising sea level will affect how and where new infrastructure is built in low-lying coastal areas and whether existing infrastructure needs to be relocated or redesigned. Facilities and systems can be designed, built, operated, and regulated to withstand, manage, or harness the impacts of weather and climate. Areas with high winds may be ideal for wind farm construction. Many different groups are involved in setting and regulating standards, designing and constructing various buildings and systems, operating and managing these facilities and systems, and providing insurance. Having access to pertinent long- and short-term weather and climate information is critical for these purposes.
