At-risk sites
At-risk sites refer to locations or areas that are vulnerable to various threats, such as environmental hazards, natural disasters, or human activities that could cause harm. Examples include places prone to flooding, wildfires, or industrial pollution. These sites often require monitoring and management to minimize potential damage. For instance, an at-risk coastal area may be susceptible to rising sea levels due to climate change. Addressing the risks associated with these locations is crucial for protecting ecosystems, communities, and overall public safety. Identifying and prioritizing at-risk sites helps in planning and implementing effective mitigation strategies.
