Accelerating resiliency planning in communities across the Commonwealth
NIST’S section on Community Resilience provides planning guides and a multi-faceted program for communities and stakeholders to assist them on issues related to disaster resilience work, complementing efforts by others in the public and private sectors. NIST focuses on research, community planning and guidance and stakeholder engagement.
FEMA’s Nature-Based Solutions guides outline how nature-based solutions can be used in sustainable planning and community resiliency, often at a lower cost than traditional infrastructure.
The ISC develops, tests, and shares cost-effective approaches to tackling local challenges with a strong focus on what they’ve seen to be the biggest threats to sustainability. The ISC team works with factories and cities because of the central role they play in achieving change.
The Institute for Agriculture & Trade Policy’s search engine for articles relevant to resilience gives browsers access to hundreds of articles that explore the various challenges and opportunties communities around the world are addressing.
FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Program offer the FloodSmart website where users can learn how insurance costs reflect a property’s flood risk.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) interactive matrix is a list of selected federal financial assistance programs that are available to assist state and local, tribal, and territorial governments in natural hazard mitigation and energy resilience activities.
Community Climate Outlooks highlight climate change and its associated impacts for communities in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, DC.
This workshop series explores the current state of knowledge about climate-related health disparities. Participants will explore specific actions to take when working with communities to improve climate-related health outcomes and invest in health equity.
The ASP’s climate security page focuses on key risks/hazards, with particular interest in how they directly impact U.S. military readiness, operations, training, and resilience
