Accelerating resiliency planning in communities across the Commonwealth
EJScreen is EPA’s environmental justice mapping and screening tool that provides EPA with a nationally consistent dataset and approach for combining environmental and socioeconomic indicators.
The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool from the Council on Environmental Quality features an interactive map and uses datasets that are indicators of burdens in eight categories: climate change, energy, health, housing, legacy pollution, transportation, water and wastewater, and workforce development.
Mitigation planning creates a pathway to reduce vulnerabilities. State, local, tribal and territorial governments engage underserved communities, populations, neighborhoods, and census tracts as mitigation plans are developed and updated. Together, stakeholders participate in mitigation planning to develop and adopt mitigation solutions.
Guidelines for Considering Traditional Knowledges in Climate Change Initiatives is an informational resource for tribes, agencies, and organizations across the United States interested in understanding traditional knowledges—or TKs—in the context of climate change.
NOAA’s Digital Coast was developed to meet the unique needs of the coastal management community. The website provides not only coastal data, but also the tools, training, and information needed to make these data truly useful. Content comes from many sources, all of which are vetted by NOAA.
Local Hazard Mitigation Planning Resources is a tool for local officials, planners and others who work on hazard mitigation plans in FEMA Region 3. It highlights key technical assistance resources from FEMA.
The National Preparedness System outlines an organized process for everyone in the whole community to move forward with their preparedness activities and achieve the National Preparedness Goal.
FEMA’s Building Alliances for Climate Action is a guide that provides resources, insights, and stories to help people and organizations address climate change.
FEMA’s Climate Adaption Planning: Guidance for Emergency Managers is intended to help state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) emergency managers incorporate climate adaptation into emergency management planning efforts.
