Accelerating resiliency planning in communities across the Commonwealth
FEMA’s National Resilience Guidance focuses on actionable principles to create a more resilient nation from identifying threats to working collaboratively towards sustainable solutions.
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.
