Accelerating resiliency planning in communities across the Commonwealth
The Resilient Strategies Guide for Water Utilities helps identify planning priorities, vulnerable assets, potential adaptation strategies, and available funding sources.
The Resilient Power Project’s goal is to advance clean energy equity and build energy security in critical community facilities.
The Nature Conservancy’s (TNC) Customized Resilient and Connected Network (RCN) represents a version of the national dataset that has been reviewed and augmented by science and conservation staff in each of TNC’s seven North America Divisions.
The Resilient Cities Network consists of member cities and Chief Resilience Officers from the 100 Resilient Cities program, started by the Rockefeller Foundation. This network engages city leaders, communities, and the private sector to enable transformational change in cities through support of resilience plans and early implementation of projects.
The information, tools, and resources offered here address preparedness, adaptation, and resilience-building for a changing climate. This resource explains what “adaptation success” looks like and how to track progress toward it, and offers ways to think and use tools to help find tailored answers.
Regeneration International (RI) promotes, facilitates, and accelerates the global transition to regenerative food, farming and land management for the purpose of restoring climate stability, ending world hunger, and rebuilding deteriorated social, ecological, and economic systems.
NIST’s Economic Decision Guide Software tool can be used to select cost-effective community resilience projects.
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.
