Climate Mapping for Resilience and Adaptation (CMRA)The U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit offers a framework to help communities systematically consider and address their climate hazards. Communities can use this portal to document their past, present, and future exposure to climate-related hazards.

Data and maps available in this tool are downscaled results from global climate models. Results for selected geographies indicate how local exposurfe to five common climate-related hazards is projected to change through this century. Assessing climate vulnerability and risk to your local assets will require additional information that is not available in this tool.

Climate hazard projection topics include

  • Extreme Heat
  • Drought
  • Wildfire
  • Flooding
  • Coastal Inundation

Check how conditions related to common climate hazards are projected to change over the next several decades. Results can help you understand if people, property, and infrastructure could be exposed to climate-related hazards.
