Rancho-Murieta, California
6 Land Tracts in Sacramento County , Lower Cosumnes-Lower Mokelumne Watershed
Rancho-Murieta, California, located in Sacramento County, faces relatively high climate risk due to its high average precipitation of 573.96mm and average temperature of 16.69°C. The area experiences a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, making it prone to wildfires during dry seasons. The combination of high humidity levels and moderate temperatures also increases the risk of flooding during heavy rainfall events.
Geologically, Rancho-Murieta is situated near the Lower Cosumnes-Lower Mokelumne hydrologic unit, which can contribute to flood risk during periods of heavy rainfall. The area is located in close proximity to the San Joaquin hydrologic subregion and the San Joaquin River, further increasing the potential for flooding. Additionally, Rancho-Murieta lies within the California hydrologic region, which is known for its seismic activity and proximity to fault lines, posing a risk of earthquakes.
While Rancho-Murieta's proximity to water bodies and fault lines may increase the risk of natural disasters, the area's relatively low population density and lack of coastal exposure mitigate some hazards. Despite this, the region's historical vulnerability to wildfires and flooding underscores the importance of preparedness and mitigation strategies to ensure the safety and resilience of the community in the face of potential climate-related risks.

COMMUNITY PROFILE
Sacramento, California faces a relatively high natural disaster and climate risk with a risk score of 97.65%. The region is susceptible to a variety of hazards including droughts, wildfires, flooding, and earthquakes. Historical events like the 2017 California wildfires and the 2010 Sacramento River flooding highlight the potential impact of these disasters on the area. The presence of fault lines, such as the Hayward Fault Zone, and the proximity to the Sierra Nevada mountains add to the risk of seismic activity and forest fires, respectively.
Additionally, Sacramento's location near the Pacific coast increases the risk of tsunamis and storm surges. The city's low elevation and proximity to major water bodies like the Sacramento River and American River contribute to the flood risk. The high population density and significant infrastructure in Sacramento further exacerbate the potential impact of natural disasters. It is crucial for the city to have robust disaster ...
