Accelerating resiliency planning in communities across the Commonwealth
In the Fall of 2023, Resilient Virginia formed the Resilient Virginia Collaborative Alliance, a regional climate collaborative for Central and Southwest Virginia. One year in, the RVCA has established working groups, surveyed PDCs, and brought together cross-sector stakeholders for a priority-setting meeting. Read more to see what’s planned moving forward.
NCEI uses data to develop scientific products and services that can also be valuable resources for industries affected by weather and climate conditions.
The Climate Risk & Resilience Portal from Argonne National Laboratory empowers individuals, governments, and organizations to examine simulated future climate conditions at mid- and end-of-century for a range of climate perils.
The Climate Explorer gives users a way to check how climate conditions in the United States are projected to change over the coming decades.
The U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit offers a framework to help communities systematically consider and address their climate hazards.
The National Risk Index is a dataset and online tool to help illustrate the United States communities most at risk for 18 natural hazards.
The National Centers for Environmental Information’s (NCEI) Billion-Dollar Disasters product is intended to show the impact of extreme weather and climate events on the economy in inflation-adjusted dollars.
The report presents analysis of the best available existing data on coastal land elevation, sea level rise projections, vertical land motion (subsidence), and building and transportation assets.
The purpose of the NOAA Sea Level Rise Viewer is to provide federal, state, and local coastal resource managers and planners with a preliminary look at sea level rise and coastal flooding impacts.

Given the broad interest and need to better understand and plan for ecological drought in the Southeast, the USGS Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (SECASC) and NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS)…
Join VAPDC for the WINTER SERIES 2025, "Winter Wednesdays at One!" beginning with the first session, "The 2025 General Assembly is Upon Us!" on January 8th at 1:00 PM, and two more sessions on February 5th and…
The Virginia Biological Farming Conference brings together farmers, gardeners, eaters, educators, industry professionals, and advocates of sustainable, regenerative, biological, and organic agriculture. The three day Conference includes: Pre-Conference intensive workshops, 60+ concurrent sessions, locally sourced…
The USDOT Climate Change Center is hosting the Fall/Winter 2024 webinar series on climate change and transportation topics, ranging from greenhouse gas reduction strategies to climate resilience activities to research and technology advancements.
<…US EPA maintains a website that focuses on essential information for coastal communities planning for the effects of climate change.
EcoAdapt conducted a survey with the Strong, Prosperous, and Resilient Communities Challenge to determine if and how people working to address displacement pressures are considering the effects of climate change. This survey is part of a broader project in collaboration with the Urban Displacement Project to better understand the intersections between climate change and displacement pressures.
Managed retreat is the coordinated process of voluntarily and equitably relocating people, structures, and infrastructure away from vulnerable coastal areas in response to episodic or chronic threats to facilitate the transition of individual people, communities, and ecosystems (both species and habitats) inland.
The Georgetown Climate Center maintains the Equitable Adaptation Legal & Policy Toolkit, which highlights best and emerging practice examples of how cities are addressing disproportionate socioeconomic risk to climate impacts and engaging overburdened communities.
The Climate Resilience Implementation Guide provides step-by-step instructions to assist communities in implementing nature-based solutions. Grantees are encouraged to use this Guide for suggestions on how to effectively use Community Planning and Development (CPD)-funded programs and other resources to design and implement nature-based solutions.
