| 摘要： | The environmental crisis known as climate change has also often been called global warming. That concept of a warming world is critical to understanding the threats posed by wildfires and heat waves to human life, animals, plants, and property, especially the public infrastructure. The first article in Civil Engineering's series about making infrastructure more resilient to climate change ("Responding to Code Red," January/February 2022, pages 36-45) cited the warning from United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that the world body's most recent climate report represented "a code red for humanity." In this second installment. Civil Engineering turns to the proverbial red zone of wildfires and heat waves, contacting more than a dozen civil and structural engineers in private industry, public service, and academia who are experts regarding such events. We also consulted numerous reports, documents, and other resources to highlight the ongoing challenges created by these climate change hazards. |
