PCSWMM is a professional tool providing stand-alone GIS and time series management for all aspects of water management. PCSWMM includes:
The PCSWMM platform lets water managers explore solutions such as:
The Chucktown Floods site gives municipalities, stakeholders in business and industry, and individual homeowners a way to navigate available resilience tools and data relevant to flooding in the Charleston County area. The site is designed to reduce barriers to accessing data associated with flooding vulnerability and enhance decision making that results in improved resilience to future flooding events in the region.
The Southeast Conservation Blueprint is the primary product of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS), a regional conservation initiative that spans the Southeastern United States and Caribbean. The Southeast Blueprint is a living, spatial plan that identifies important areas for conservation and restoration.
The Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) works to collect and integrate oceanic and coastal data into viable observations and products. Users can browse through information on several different topics, including water quality, salinity levels, currents, etc. Such data can serve a great number of stakeholders, area managers, decision makers, scientists, and the general public.
The Puerto Rico Climate Change Council (PRCCC) is a collaborative effort to assess risks and impacts from coastal hazards and climate change, and recommend adaptation strategies to government, civil society, and the private sector.
The USGS Flood Event Viewer (FEV) is the public data discovery component of the Short-Term Network (STN) database. The tool gives users a map interface from which they can examine data collected during flood events such as hurricane landfalls and Nor'easters. Users can also view real-time data from a range of STN monitoring stations.
This multi-group project is a useful resource for the management constituency of the Oregon Coastal Zone, providing background information for different coastal systems, access to interactive mapping, online geospatial analysis tools, and direct download of various planning and natural resource datasets.
This web tool identifies Resilience Hubs, which are areas of open space where projects may have the greatest potential to benefit both human community resilience and fish and wildlife. Resilience Hubs incorporate multiple indices—including a Community Exposure Index, a Community Asset Index, a Threat Index, and a Fish and Wildlife Index—which can also be explored through CREST.
NASA's Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resource (POWER) project was initiated to distribute NASA satellite-based and research data parameters customized for usage by the renewable energy and agricultural communities. The POWER Project Services Platform features numerous methods to obtain data products including a "Data Access Viewer", Web image services, and a direct access through URL commands. The web-based application currently supports Chrome, Safari, and Firefox browsers.
Projected changes in climate have implications for public planning, utilities, city budgets, and public health, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the young, elderly, and poor. A group of researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln banded together with the City of Lincoln, Nebraska, to help municipalities across the Midwest plan for such changes. The project is intended to help cities determine where to invest their limited dollars to match future needs of their communities.
The project website hosts municipal climate adaptation reports for:
