U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit

Decision makers can access real-time information and interactive maps describing drought conditions across the ACF River Basin.

Access adaptation case studies, virtual library resources, a directory of adaptation practitioners, and a database of relevant tools on this comprehensive website. Users can also participate in community forums or contribute resources.

Explore local maps to stimulate discussions about the people, places, and natural resources exposed to coastal flooding. Create a collection of maps showing risk from various hazards.

Communities can complete this questionnaire to assess their level of preparedness for extreme events. The exercise helps communities discuss and discover their climate-related vulnerabilities.

Hospitals, first responders, electric companies, and community members can use this interactive online map to view information about Medicare beneficiaries who rely on electricity-dependent medical and assistive equipment and severe weather events that may put them at risk for power outages.

View weather watches, warnings, and advisories to monitor events that could impact U.S. energy infrastructure.

This online tool was created to help state and local emergency managers, environmental or health agencies, and anyone who may not be familiar with EPA resources that help build community resilience to disasters.

Managers of critical facilities can take this assessment to identify their facility's potential vulnerabilities to flooding. Users receive a customized report summarizing risks and a set of recommendations to address them.

This online mapping application—along with an accompanying mobile app—was designed for those needing a quick assessment of the potential dangers posed by a major hazardous event or developing emergency.

This downloadable software package from the Department of Homeland Security helps users compile a preliminary assessment of the relative risk and resilience of 15 types of buildings to 20 hazardous events, including natural hazards such as floods and wind.

Emergency managers, public officials, and individuals in some U.S. cities can get map-based forecasts showing locations at risk of inundation for National Weather Service flood forecasts.

People who work with electric utilities can find data sources for key variables, parameters, and environmental issues in this web app. The main focus is on easy-to-access and easy-to-use datasets, products, and visualization tools

Coastal resource managers and planners in the San Francisco Bay region can use locally relevant, online maps and tools to explore, visualize, and anticipate vulnerabilities related to sea level rise and storms.

Access precipitation frequency estimates for precipitation depth or intensity as tables, graphs, or GIS layers for any location in the contiguous United States.

Southern California mesonets—relatively dense networks of weather observation sensors—provide real-time information about weather conditions to help users understand the threat of wind-promoted wildfires.

Explore how the shoreline is likely to change with increasing amounts of sea level rise. This tool from NOAA's Office of Coastal Management lets you visualize the potential impacts of coastal flooding so you can prioritize actions for different scenarios.

This website provides an example of an established program that empowers communities to build a better world for future generations with the tools, training and financial incentives necessary to pursue critical sustainability initiatives at the state-wide level.
