“…Generally, droughts are classified as either a meteorological drought (lack of precipitation over a region for a period of time), hydrological drought (deficiencies in surface and subsurface water supplies), agricultural drought (deficiency in water availability for crop or plant growth) or socioeconomic drought (failure of water resources systems to meet water demands, which impacts human activities both directly and indirectly) (Wilhite 2000, Yang 2010, Son et al 2012, Udmale et al 2014, Eakin et al 2014). This natural and recurrent phenomenon is considered to be 'a natural disaster' whenever it occurs in an intensive manner in highly populated regions, evapotranspiration rate (Ab'Saber 1999).…”

“…To date, research on climate change adaptation at the household scale has largely focused on developing nations. These households are often identified as being particularly vulnerable to climate change due to their exposure to economic, political and social stressors beyond climate (Eakin et al 2014), and perceived lack of institutional, financial or technological adaptive capacities (Fankhauser and McDermott 2014). Without detracting from the severe implications of climate change for developing nations, the limited research focus on household-scale adaptation in developed nations is a significant gap.…”

“…Entendendo adaptação como processos de ajustamentos para antecipar impactos adversos das mudanças climáticas que resultam na redução da vulnerabilidade (IPCC, 2007) e capacidade adaptativa como o potencial de mudar para um estado mais desejável frente aos impactos ou riscos às mudanças climáticas (EAKIN et al, 2014), partimos da ideia de que a forma como as cidades (incluindo o poder local e a sociedade) lidam com esse fenômeno está intrinsecamente relacionada a determinados aspectos e configurações locais que interferem, em maior ou menor grau, nos processos adaptativos da cidade. Essas respostas e arranjos também são impactados direta e indiretamente por dois fatores: (i) as percepções dos riscos associados a esse fenômeno; (ii) os impactos dos eventos climáticos extremos e o aumento da vulnerabilidade.…”

“…No nível de uma cidade (ou ainda no nível individual), há certamente uma relação estreita entre investimentos para reduzir a vulnerabilidade a eventos extremos ou estar melhor preparado para enfrentá-los e a disponibilidade de recursos econômicos (EAKIN et al, 2014).…”
