Heavy rain, flooding, and strong winds could disrupt daily life in Rhode Island, particularly in low-lying areas and coastal communities. Roads that are typically passable may become impassable during severe weather, posing risks to residents. Those living near rivers, coasts, or flood-prone areas are especially vulnerable. Power outages are also a significant concern, potentially leaving homes without electricity for extended periods. The risks extend to individuals with disabilities or chronic conditions, who may require additional assistance during emergencies.
