Lines represent low-end (light <br />orange), mid-range (dark orange) and high-end (red) model results.

Wildfire and high-intensity rainfall events, both anticipated to occur with greater <br />frequency due to climate change, increase the risk of inland flooding.41 Secondary impacts associated <br />with flooding include landslides, subsidence, slippage, creep or sinkholes. Cities with hilly terrain can <br />experience increased risk of these events. Due to San Leandro’s location and topography, there is a <br />medium risk of experiencing landslides in the hills to the east. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />40 Reclamation.
