Nature-Based Solutions Tools Search
This database contains over 400 tools and resources that can help guide practitioners at various stages of the nature-based solutions project cycle. Use the filters to identify the tools and resources most useful to you.
You can filter the full list by the habitat type you’re working in, the nature-based solutions strategy you want to use, the project phase you are looking for help with, or the type of tool/resource you’re looking for.
The tools and resources shown here were gathered through a robust search of both federal and non-federal sources. We recognize that this library will never be completely comprehensive, but if you know of an important missing tool or resource, please email nesp@duke.edu.

The National Risk Index is a dataset and online tool to help illustrate the United States communities most at risk for 18 natural hazards. The Risk Index leverages available source data for natural hazard and community risk factors to develop a baseline risk measurement for each United States county and Census tract.
Helps to enable effective risk management when conducting prescribed burns.
Provides a template of the information needed to implement a prescribed burn plan.
This document is designed to give users a better understanding for how HMA grants are a viable funding source for nature-based solutions to hazard mitigation. This includes an overview of selecting appropriate NBS for a given hazard and location, FEMA HMA requirments, and how to maximize benefits for a given project.
This document outlines the uses of the Habitat Priority Planner (HPP), which is a spatial decision support tool esigned to assist users in the prioritization of important areas in the landscape or seascape for conservation or reservation action. In addition to summarizing the development of the tool, this guide discusses the major uses of the tool, core functions, and set up instructions. It also includes a handy workbook-style exercise to walk through using the tool.
This resource library houses online tools and resources like project examples, webinar clips, GIS tools, and federal research and reports.
This resource provides information on implementing a national framework for early detection and rapid response.
The website contains materials that provide information on liability, burning in longleaf stands, and training needs, among other resources.
This report outlines the required standards for DOI and USDA for any prescribed burn activity.

The nine federal and state agencies located at NIFC provide fundamental support to on-the-ground wildland firefighting efforts. They also develop wildland fire policy and serve as the logistical, intelligence, and decision-support center for wildland fire and other all-hazard emergency incidents throughout the nation.
The National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) provides national leadership to enable interoperable wildland fire operations among federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial partners. They provide trainings, publications, and other resources that are useful for all facets of wildland fire operations.

This guidebook lists identifies major challenges with wildfire management in urban-wildland environments and suggested solutions for mitigating these hazards. While much of the document pertains to policy-level approaches, there is discussion of fuel reduction management priorities, community engagement guidance, and explanations of partnering opportunities for deploying these best practices that are useful for designing fire management, forest health management, and urban forest health management NBS.
