This tool distributes near real-time active fire data within three hours of a satellite overpass from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and NASA's Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) satellites. The active fire/hotspot data can be viewed in the FIRMS Fire Map or in NASA’s Worldview.
The Urban Adaptation Assessment (UAA) is an interactive database funded by the Kresge Foundation and led by the Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative (ND-GAIN). The database provides a rich dataset within a visual platform to give leaders the data they need to make decisions on how best to adapt and prepare.
Encompassing data from over 270 U.S. cities whose populations are above 100,000, the UAA gives viewers a way to explore connections among vulnerabilities, climate disasters, adaptive capacities, and how these are distributed within a city.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA's) offers several resources for assessing the impacts of climate change and extreme weather on transportation infrastructure.
The Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) Tools Network, co-coordinated by NatureServe and OCTO (Open Communications for the Ocean), is a source of information and training for planning and management tools for coastal-marine ecosystem-based management, marine protected area and marine spatial planning, and integrated land-sea planning. Its mission is to promote healthy ecosystems and communities by increasing the knowledge and capacity of coastal-marine practitioners to apply tools that help incorporate ecosystem-based thinking into management decisions.
This tool—developed by Indiana University's Environmental Resilience Institute—was designed to help local governments in Indiana and beyond effectively deliver services to their communities even as the climate changes.
This suite of files provides an easy way to generate a two-page print document to help communicate local sea level rise scenarios and the related days of future high-tide or nuisance flooding. The templates draw data from NOAA Technical Report 083 Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States and NOAA Technical Report 086 Patterns and Projections of High Tide Flooding Along the U.S.
This tool is a compilation of relatively easy-to-use online interactive tools, maps, and graphs to assist planners and emergency managers in the state of Oklahoma who are assessing their long-term climate risks, both historically and in the future. It is primarily designed for decision makers who serve small- to medium-sized communities, but may also be of interest to those who serve larger areas. This tool was developed with input from local and state emergency managers and planners.
The Southern Region Climate Center provides access to extreme temperature and precipitation records for airport stations throughout the United States. Users can find records for specific calendar dates, records over a month, recent daily records, and all-time records for four temperature elements and high precipitation.
