Oakland's severe weather risk is mainly about high wind and extreme heat. These events can cause dangerous heat exposure, blackouts, tree failures, blocked roads, and service disruptions.
Flooding in Oakland can come from heavy rain, stormwater problems, and mapped floodplains. It can damage property, contaminate buildings, and force people out of their homes.
Sea-level rise is a slow but growing hazard for Oakland's shoreline. Over time it can flood low-lying areas, strain drainage systems, raise groundwater, and damage transportation and wastewater infrastructure.
Drought means long periods with too little water. In Oakland, that can lead to water stress, higher costs, health impacts, and more wildfire risk.
Landslides happen when soil, rock, or debris moves downhill. In Oakland, heavy rain, unstable slopes, wildfire, and earthquakes can all raise this risk.
Tsunami and seiche hazards mainly affect Oakland's shoreline and other low-lying water-adjacent areas. Most events have been minor, but a stronger event could create fast-moving flood and evacuation problems.
Dam failure is a low-probability but high-consequence flood hazard. If a major dam failed, water could move fast and cause major damage downstream.
