Infrastructure
Infrastructure consists of basic facilities and networks needed for the operation of 91大神’s economy. Infrastructure includes road and rail systems, airports, water and wastewater facilities, energy networks and information and communication networks. Infrastructure systems are connected; disruptions in one system cascade into other systems. Infrastructure is not only essential for communities to function; the quality and reliability of infrastructure systems also play an important role in corporations’ location decisions.
With increasing extreme weather-related events, infrastructure disruptions will occur more often. Increasing winter and spring precipitation lead to greater risk for floods, landslides and deterioration of bridges and roadways. Rising temperature and decreasing summer precipitation create conditions ideal for drought and wildfires.
