<br />3 <br />hazards in San Leandro. The methods used to assess the exposure of assets to the climate hazards as <br />well as the data sources for each section are explained in Appendix A. <br />San Leandro, California will be affected by Climate Change <br />San Leandro is located on the shoreline of the San Francisco Bay and sits at an average elevation of 56 <br />feet. Located between Oakland and Hayward with a population of about 88,000 people, it is highly <br />urbanized, made up of residential properties with industrial and manufacturing uses in the west, mixed <br />use areas in the southern portions of the city, and the downtown core to the northeast. Due to its <br />geographic span from the Bay into the hills, San Leandro is susceptible to a variety of climate hazards. <br />See Figure 1 for a map of San Leandro. <br />As a result, San Leandro will likely be most affected by the combination of sea level rise, high tides and <br />flooding along the shoreline and throughout the southwest portion of the city, which threaten to limit <br />mobility and damage amenities and industry that are important to San Leandro and the regional <br />economy. However, the most severe impacts will be seen in the long-term, when projected temperature <br />increases and the frequency of very hot days will impact a broader set of the city’s assets and <br />population, resulting in greater occurrence of heat related illness. <br />Figure 1.
