U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit

Community members can explore how past and future flooding can affect their stormwater systems and generate a report to inform planning efforts.

ADCIRC is a system of computer programs for solving time dependent, free surface circulation and transport problems in two and three dimensions. These programs utilize the finite element method in space allowing the use of highly flexible, unstructured grids.

View maps and statistics on weather and climate disasters since 1980 where overall costs reached or exceeded $1 billion.

This Story Map features three metrics that influence plant growth and survival and displays mapped projections of change throughout the century for the conterminous United States.

Explore climate projections for any county in the United States. For the contiguous U.S., you can compare maps of past and projected conditions for coming decades or consult historical records to see when weather has veered outside of normal climate.

Planners and natural resource managers can use this web tool to make informed decisions about the siting of restoration and resilience projects.

Marine managers can find resources to engage communities in their efforts to manage, protect, and restore coral reefs and reef fisheries around the world.

Engineering firms can use this database to integrate future sea level change information for DoD facilities at coastal locations.

This interactive map—a companion to the Adaptation Workbook—lets you see how climate change may affect different regions and ecosystems in the U.S.

Visualize and download the sea level projection data from the IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6).

Extension and outreach professionals can use this set of files to generate a two-page print document to communicate projected changes in local sea level and high-tide flooding.

This professional software package helps engineers better predict the power of wind-waves, providing key input to breakwater design, wave agitation, and dynamic ship mooring modeling by establishing wave conditions adjacent to ports and terminals.

This website provides data on major marine ecosystem indicators, capturing the status and trends of seven U.S. ecosystem regions, as well as an overall national status. It also directs users to more detailed sources of NOAA data and information.

View local maps of socioeconomic and climate data to identify communities that may be vulnerable to extreme weather and climate change, now and in the future. Obtain authoritative reports and data to make informed decisions when prioritizing capital improvements, informing land use and policy decisions, and updating Hazard Mitigation Plans.

This planning framework provides recommended heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and building measures to minimize occupant exposures and health impacts from smoke during wildfire and prescribed burn events.

Risk Factor quantifies a property’s comprehensive risk from environmental threats like flooding and wildfire. The tool also helps users understand how risks are shifting due to a changing environment.

Explore climate change and variability through phenology—seasonal changes in plants and animals from year to year. Use tools and access data collected by citizen scientists, government agencies, educators, and students of all ages.
