The U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit is a website designed to help people find and use tools, information, and subject matter expertise to build climate resilience. The Toolkit offers information from across the U.S. federal government in one location. The goal of the site is to improve people’s ability to understand and manage their climate-related risks and opportunities, and to help them make their communities and businesses more resilient to extreme events. 

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) led the development of the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit, in partnership with other federal agencies. The site is managed by NOAA’s Climate Program Office.

According to Public Law 95-367, the National Climate Program Act of 1978 states that the Secretary [of Commerce] shall provide: global data collection, and monitoring and analysis activities to provide reliable, useful and readily available information on a continuing basis (Sec. 5.d.4); systems for the management and active dissemination of climatological data, information and assessments, including mechanisms for consultation with current and potential users (Sec. 5.d.5); establish a program for Federal and State cooperative activities in climate studies and advisory services (Sec. 6.a); atmospheric data collection and monitoring on a statewide and regional basis (Sec 6.b.2); and advice to regional, State, and local government agencies regarding climate-related issues (Sec 6.b.3).
