D66 Disasters & Situations

11-16: Environmental and Ecological Challenges

11. Rising sea levels or storm surges have eroded parts of the coast, threatening homes and farmland. Quick action is needed to restore natural barriers or implement sustainable building practices.
12. An invasive species of plant or insect begins spreading rapidly, damaging local ecosystems. A community task force is needed to contain and remove them without harming native species.
13. Unseasonal rain has flooded a restored wetland area, threatening habitats for local wildlife. Volunteers and experts work together to reinforce barriers and redirect water to preserve the ecosystem.
14. A period of dry weather increases the risk of wildfires in nearby forests. The community must create controlled burns and clear firebreaks to protect both nature and homes.
