U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit

Interactive tools and climate information provide support to improve crop management decisions and reduce production risks associated with climate variability, climate change, and extreme weather events in the southeastern United States.

Analyses of aerial photos and satellite imagery reveal how Alaska's shoreline has changed over time. Projecting observed rates of change into the future provides predictions of where the shoreline will be in coming decades.

California residents and city and county planners can identify potential climate change risks in specific areas throughout the state and access easy-to-understand resources for local planning efforts.

Cattle producers in the contiguous United States can consult maps to anticipate when heat stress may affect their animals.

This project by researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln supported municipal climate adaptation in the Missouri River Basin. The project website hosts climate reports for 11 Midwestern cities and and an online data explorer for 10 states across middle America.

Visualize flood impacts while planning and preparing for—and responding to—current and future coastal storms in Boston, Massachusetts.

Utilities can use this map to understand their potential for flooding. The inclusion of real-time storms and flood advisories helps water utilities assess flood risk and plan ahead to lessen the severity of flood damage.

This monthly discussion documents current status and projections for ENSO based on sea surface temperature and atmospheric pressure patterns in the Pacific Ocean.

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.

This interactive, online map tool helps communities visualize potential flooding scenarios, identify areas and resources that may be at risk, and enhance their local response effort during a flooding event.

Explore how sea level rise in the San Francisco Bay area may impact coastal marshes and the important ecosystem services and habitat they provide.

This site provides on-demand information to benefit people, ecosystems, and the economy in the Gulf of Mexico’s coastal and open ocean waters.

Local communities in Indiana can use this tool to better understand their readiness and risks for environmental and climate change.

This one-stop web platform facilitates access to community-based flood conditions, forecasts, visualizations, and inundation maps and flood-related data, information, and applications.

Users in Massachusetts can access this tool to better understand the vulnerability of fish, wildlife, and natural resources to climate change, learn how to implement adaptation actions on the ground, and explore climate data and projections.

Emergency managers, reservoir operators, and other decision makers can consult the supercomputer-powered National Water Model for detailed forecasts of soil moisture, surface runoff, snow water equivalent, and other parameters.

The mission of NERACOOS is to produce, integrate, and communicate high-quality information that helps ensure safety, economic, and environmental resilience and sustainable use of the coastal ocean.
