water resource issues — depletion of supply and deterioration of quality;
coastal erosion — loss of private property and sensitive ecosystems
more frequent and intense storms — impacts from storm surges and high winds, such as large scale blow downs, damaged power infrastructre
drought
extreme heat events

The case studies are listed by community and describe the community context, climate-related changes, community impacts and adaptation actions.
