40 We're already experiencing smoky, dry summers and near-miss wild fires. 5/28/2016 10:39 AM 41 All of the above are inter-related. Drought also leads to extreme dust, forest die-off, mega-fires like never before, extended fire-danger months each year, exploding pollen counts, and effects on our health. These are happening NOW, not 50 years from now. Ashland may be devastated in 50 years. Let's do something for the next 2, 5, and 10 years. Otherwise, it's too late. We have lost our home to last summers wildfire and are refugees. We are not the only climate change refugees in Ashland, and definitely not the last. 5/27/2016 12:47 PM 42 Temperature increase and extremes will drive changes to rainfall and wildfire along with human physical impacts 5/26/2016 11:22 AM 43 I am not sure climate change is a man made thing. 5/26/2016 9:48 AM 44 Hard to choose - all so critical! 5/25/2016 10:40 PM 45 All 4 are inter-connected. Drought my biggest concern. 5/25/2016 3:07 PM 46 our forests MUST be taken care of. Wildfire here in the watershed and forests surrounding Ashland would be a detriment to all 5/25/2016 7:10 AM 47 We already see wildfires all over the place every summer. With Drought-Emigrant lake almost went dry and a wildfire could come to town. 5/25/2016 2:57 AM 48 all pretty much related but snowpack and rain may be the biggest impact. 5/24/2016 8:29 PM 49 Water availability is key to life for humans and wildlife. Wildfire is extremely damaging and dangerous. 5/24/2016 7:51 PM 50 Anything that would heavily impact water ways will be disastrous. 5/24/2016 7:21 PM 51 We have work to do to prepare for drought that is very attainable. Slow it, spread it, sink it strategies address both drought and extreme water events. 5/24/2016 7:18 PM 52 Heat drought and fires will impact us all. I grow food and care about human as well as wildlife having enough to eat. Fires could destroy this whole area, or make it so hard to exist here. And lack of snow pack will impact us, how we grow crops, and how animals will cope. 5/24/2016 7:03 PM 53 They are all intertwined and impact the livelihood of us all. Plants, animals, and humans alike. The delicate infrastructure of our natural ecosystems is changing. It is all a threat. 5/24/2016 7:02 PM 54 People, plants and animals have a very narrow window of tolerance. 5/24/2016 6:59 PM 55 All concerns me greatly. I mostly fear thirst and getting too hot. 5/24/2016 6:57 PM 56 If we run out of water everything dies end of story and we can't stop fire unless we use our brains to find something else and inexpensive for alternative. As well as no help for the other problems if the water is gone 5/24/2016 6:37 PM 57 Water is crucial to our health and well being on every level. 5/24/2016 6:30 PM 58 The data is clear. 5/24/2016 6:28 PM 59 Water supply biggest concern, because most likely severe impact - but of course closely linked to fire hazard. 5/24/2016 6:02 PM 60 All of this is very scary and concerning 5/24/2016 6:01 PM 61 Increase of heat and drought will lead to economic and health difficulties for farming, low income, and outdoor labor based sectors. 5/24/2016 6:01 PM 62 Increase of heat and drought will lead to economic and health difficulties for farming, low income, and outdoor labor based sectors. 5/24/2016 5:58 PM 63 I see lots of sick trees uprooting because of extreme weather. I like trees and don't want this to happen. 5/24/2016 5:53 PM 64 Rising temps = longer, drier, hotter summers, more wildfire risk 5/24/2016 5:48 PM 65 anything extreme ,we are not prepared for 5/24/2016 3:27 PM 66 Fire damage to watershed and residential areas. 5/24/2016 3:25 PM 67 Three of these all come down to water and smart landscaping/forest area usage. Smart use of water will alleviate a lot of the issues with climate change. 5/24/2016 1:45 PM 68 Extremes in precipitation and temperature have always occurred and will continue. We must adapt to that, and fire is the highest risk for Ashland. Recent changes have not deviated significantly from historical records, if you include the past 1000 years. 5/24/2016 9:24 AM 69 More people and less wildlife 5/24/2016 9:23 AM 70 Fires especially--great impact on my professional and personal life 5/24/2016 9:12 AM 10 / 30 Ashland Climate and Energy Action Plan: Public Input Survey
