Community Climate OutlooksThe The Mid-Atlantic Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (MARISA) website allows browsers to see outlooks for specific localities in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. By clicking a shaded region on the map on the Community Climate Outlooks website, there is a dropdown list of counties and cities for each locality.

Using the best available evidence, the Community Climate Outlooks website projects how climate will change in the future, and the effects this will have on local communities. Examples of the issues the website addresses for localities is shifting seasons, changing temperature and/or rainfall patterns, and sea level rise.

The website explains what kind of severe weather and climate-related hazards residents can expect based off the outlook data.
