This webpage links to several resources and sites associated with FEMA's expanded coastal flood hazard studies and other coastal flood risk resiliency work. It discusses thier Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning framework, how they're updating their flood insurance studies and flood insurance rate maps, and mitigation best practices. 

This storymap provides a brief introduction to the development and potential uses of USGS' CoSMos tool, which makes detailed predictions of storm-induced coastal flooding, erosion, and cliff failures over large geographic scales.

This tool can be used to estimate the greenhouse gas reduction and carbon sequestration potential of a landowners farm or ranch. It could be a useful tool for quantifying the value of specific NBS strategies.

This tool can be used to estimate the greenhouse gas reduction and carbon sequestration potential of different conservation practices based off county-level geographic data. It could be useful for quantifying the value of specifc NBS strategies.

The Conservation Concerns Tool lets landowners build out a concerns list which they can take to their local USDA Service Center to assist with designing solutions to their concerns.

This document guides appllicants through the conception, design, and implementation process for coral restoration for risk reduction (CR4) projects for hazard mitigation funding.

Monitoring is an integral component of every coral restoration project, making this guide especially valuable to coral restoration project managers. This resource lays out metrics for environmental, ecological, socioeconomic, and coral health.

The Data Access Viewer (DAV) allows a user to search for and download elevation (lidar), imagery, and land cover data for the coastal U.S. and its territories. 

This webpage allows people to report invasive species, monitor current distribution, learn about management methods, and get species information.

EnviroAtlas data and resources can be used to inform a range of projects, from regional to local scales. This easy to use, interactive mapping application does not require any GIS skills to use and provides ready access to 536 map layers likegreen space per capita, mammal species richness or percent developed area and multiple analysis tools. EPA uses this tool for uses like project implementation (e.g. permitting) and designing targeted outreach strategies, but the site includes a repository of diverse ways this tool can be used in advancing all types of environmental work. 

This resource hub includes several links that EPA has backed to help communities implement green stormwater infrastructure projects. These include links to maps, a green infrastructure scorecard tool, planning/design/and implementation tools and guidbeooks, links to funding opportunities, links to climate modeling tools, collaboration guides/support, and a library of resources specific to implementing green stormwater infrastructure to meet Clean Water Act requirements.

How's My Waterway was designed to provide the general public with information about the condition of their local waters based on data that states, federal, tribal, local agencies and others have provided to EPA. Water quality information is displayed on 3 scales in How’s My Waterway; community, state and national. 

In this study, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, quantified the potential for landward migration of tidal saline wetlands along the U.S. Gulf of America coast under alternative future sea-level rise and urbanization scenarios. These findings can provide useful information for scientists and environmental planners working to develop future-focused adaptation strategies for conserving coastal landscapes and the ecosystem goods and services provided by tidal saline wetlands.

This guidebook serves as a roadmap for implementing each step FEMA has identified for building climate resilience with state, local, tribal and territorial partners. It includes tools, programs, and funding support supported/managed categorized by each step of the cycle to build resilience.

The USGS Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Program helps communities protect lives and property by providing tools and information to help them understand their local flood risks and make cost-effective mitigation decisions. Its main purposes are to 1) Partner with local communities to assist with the development and validation of flood inundation map libraries and 2) Provide online access to flood inundation maps along with real-time streamflow data, flood forecasts, and potential loss estimates.

Website with links to more than 20 resources relating to floodplain reconnection. These include handbooks on floodplain reconnection, using nature to mitigate flood damage, and floodplain planning strategies.

This 2-day course, hosted by Florida Sea Grant, provides an in-depth dive into the design, permitting, implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of living shorelines for various types of property owners.

FVS is a tool commonly used in forestry by land managers. FVS can provide useful insight into how to thin for various goals, especially the Fire and Fuels Extension.

Resource library that provides managers with best practices for managing forests within urban areas as opposed to street trees or landscaped parks.

This online guide is a hub where planners and practitioners share solutions, best practices, and lessons learned for building resilience, as well as the necessary tools, data and maps, and publications. The guide shares community-authored case studies that provide explicit direction on the best practices and tools to use.
