Droughts remain a natural hazard not only to wildlife and livestock, but also farming in general. Rainfall predictions usually help to offset the effects, but there is usually several small droughts in the Arcer Heartland per summer, but they vary wildly in degree and location. | Droughts remain a natural hazard not only to wildlife and livestock, but also farming in general.

Wildfires remain a major threat during the dry season and into the fall/winter months, especially in Northlea Governorate. As such, the [[Royal Arcerion Fire Service]] (RAFS), is most well-equipped and trained federal fire service in Crona, and is a leader in Ixnay in research, development, and fire-related operations. Wildfires account for tens of millions of Arcer pounds worth of crop destruction and tens of millions in residential and commercial property damage every year. Arcerion has seen a rising trend in wildfires, rating them from a 1-5 (one being a localized brush fire of less than 2km², five being a major multi-country wildfire) scale since the introduction of data cataloguing for occurrences in 1967. | Wildfires remain a major threat during the dry season and into the fall/winter months, especially in Northlea Governorate.

Global climate change is having a significant impact on Arcerion, with the increase of forest and wildfires becoming more prevalent year-over-year. | ||
