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.

Local resources to help people monitor and adapt to flooding in the Lowcountry of Charleston County, South Carolina.

Land and marine managers can use this guidance document and spreadsheet tool to calculate numerical vulnerability scores for habitats. Scores indicate the degree to which various habitats may be vulnerable to current and future climate stressors.

Owners and operators of drinking water and wastewater utilities can use this web-based tool to assess potential climate change threats and evaluate adaption options at their sites.

Examine land cover classifications within coastal regions and how they changed from 1996 to 2010.

Small groups can use this 20-page guide to get started on the process of building resilience for their community.

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.

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.

Marine managers can use this NOAA site to prepare for and respond to environmental stress on coral reef ecosystems, especially stress caused by climate variability and change.

Given two or more historical positions of a shoreline or other feature on a map, this ArcGIS extension will compute rates of change.

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.

This web mapping application displays helps users assess, quantify, and value the ecosystem services provided by floodplains in the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay watersheds.

Planners and emergency managers use this downloadable software package to access FEMA models that estimate potential losses from earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes and evaluate costs and benefits of mitigation options.

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 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.
