In addition, the duration, frequency, and intensity of such disasters are projected to increase due to the climate change. However, in Indonesia, little is known about the effects of those climate disasters on human health. Given the population’s extremely limited adaptive capacity, this is a critical information gap. We estimated the risk probability of waterborne diseases caused by flood utilizing the quantitative microbiological risk assessment (QMRA) approach. We used the RCP 4.5 climate scenario of daily precipitation data of MRI-CGCM 3, MIROC5, HadGEM to determine the future projection of waterborne disease under the flood 50-year return period scenario in 2030. In two of the main cities in Indonesia, Medan and Surabaya, we looked at norovirus as a worst-case scenario waterborne disease. We found that the mean probability of the health risk during the extreme event in the future is 0.079 (increased by 22%) and 0.12 (increased by 35%) in Medan and Surabaya, respectively. The total number of infected people will have at least a twofold increase in Medan and Surabaya. It is critical to address the growing risk of norovirus in the face of climate change and to find local context-relevant adaptation measures by conducting a workshop with local stakeholders in each city. The most relevant and urgent actions listed during the workshop were raising awareness in hygiene and behavior during the flood, increasing green space, and providing leak-proof communal septic tanks.
