The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is the largest investment in climate resilience in U.S. history. The $1.2 trillion in funding will create transformative opportunities for local governments that own and maintain most of the nation’s infrastructure, but first state and federal agencies must ensure the resources get to the places that need it the most.
The toolkit guides municipalities through the process of creating a climate change-related vulnerability assessment and developing local climate resilience strategies, as required by changes to New Jersey’s Municipal Land Use Law signed into law in February 2021.
The Ocean at the Door map shows the vulnerability of old and new housing stock to rising seas plus chronic floods, helping homeowners, planners, renters, and real-estate investors understand the consequences of the changing climate for coastal property. Potential flood exposure maps are generated by comparing land elevation to the height of a typical once-a-year flood, plus local sea level rise projections over time.

To make NASA Earth observation (EO) data more accessible for electric utilities and other energy management sector end users, this StoryMap outlines data sources for key variables, parameters, and environmental issues, with a focus on easy to use and access datasets, products, and visualization tools relevant for electric utility applications. People who work with electric utilities can use it to find information related to energy management, renewable energy, and climate resilience.
Marine ecosystems provide food, jobs, security, well-being, and other services to millions of people across the U.S., yet they and the people that rely on them are facing increasingly complex challenges. Tracking the status and trends of ocean and coastal ecosystems is critically important to understand how these ecosystems are changing and to identify potential issues.
This interactive mapping tool using ESRI technology was created by the City of Richmond Office of Sustainability as part of RVAgreen 2050, the City of Richmond’s equity-centered climate action and resilience planning initiative.
This map-based resource leverages Google Earth Engine and Tensorflow to process near real-time weather and remote sensing data, providing weekly forecast estimates of the magnitude and timing of annual production and fuel across coterminous U.S. rangelands.
Users can access several cutting-edge information products, with detailed reports in development.
The tool provides free, near real-time information to rangeland managers, fire specialists, and producers to act on in a timely manner.

This website provides access to drought indices that are used by the Montana Governor’s Drought and Water Supply Advisory Committee (Monitoring Sub-Committee). All datasets are calculated daily and can be aggregated by watershed and county boundaries. Much of the underlying data in this dashboard is from the gridMET dataset.
