Beavers are an integral part of stream ecology, but also can create hazards. This helps managers mitigate hazards while maximizing benefits from beavers by analyzing mitigation measures and reintroduction strategies.

Explains how built wetlands function, project design, construction, operations, and monitoring.

This best management practices guide describes practices for retaining or improving habitat connectivity for amphibians and reptiles in California.

Details on stormwater control practices, including many NBS. Includes design and construction guidelines, operations and maintenance information, assessing project performance, and case studies.

This page links ot the social vulnerability layer of the national risk index map. As a consequence enhancing risk component of the National Risk Index, a Social Vulnerability score and rating represent the relative level of a community’s social vulnerability compared to all other communities at the same level. A community’s Social Vulnerability score measures its national rank or percentile. A higher Social Vulnerability score results in a higher Risk Index score.

NCEI’s Regional Climate Services provides access to climate information, products, and other resources for specific regions across the United States. These services provide tailored, comprehensive support to help address the unique challenges and vulnerabilities created by regional weather and climate conditions. Notable resources for Nature based Solutions include coastal surface analysis products, coastal ecosystem maps, and coastal monitoring and indicator products. 

The U.S. Drought Portal (www.drought.gov) is the U.S. government’s authoritative drought information website. It provides a one-stop shop for data, decision-support products, resources, and information on drought—from drought monitoring and prediction, to planning and preparedness, to applied research. The portal includes tools that can be used to view active droughts, historical data, historical and current precipitation, drought forecasts, climate forecasters, and a slew of other useful tools for planning drought-related projects.

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.

Developed by NOAA, this resource helps users determine the best living shoreline design based on the specific attributes of the site. The guide contains a helpful infographic that displays the spectrum of gray to green shoreline infrastructure.

This portal helps users discover available resources for natural infrastructure projects including the movement and content of dredged material through placement area capacities, dredging plans, and sediment characteristic descriptions and help to identify beneficial use and infrastructure opportunities.

This virtual training describes the types, benefits of, and barriers to NBS establishment, how to integrate NBS into existing community plans, and how to resource and implement NBS strategies.

This resource repository includes 3 guides to using NBS to mitigate natural hazards, and includes resources detailing types of NBS, assistance with the planning process, compliance/permitting, funding sources,and trainings through FEMA and FEMA's partners.

Detailed guide to planning, design, construction, and maintenance of constructed and restored salt marshes. Intended as a how-to guide for those new to marsh restoration or as a reference for experienced practitioners.

This report and accompanying datasets from the U.S. Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Hazard Scenarios and Tools Interagency Task Force provide 1) sea level rise scenarios to 2150 by decade that include estimates of vertical land motion and 2) a set of extreme water level probabilities for various heights along the U.S. coastline. The information in this report summarizes the data and informaiton used to create several federal tools and resources related to coastal flood hazard/sea level rise, and a primary goal is to provide 'screening-level products'. 

The Digital Coast (authorized by the Digital Coast Act, 16 U.S.C. § 1467) was developed to meet the unique needs of the coastal management community. The website provides not only coastal data, but also the tools, training, and information needed to make these data truly useful. Content comes from many sources, all of which are vetted by NOAA.

Focusing on monitoring considerations, this guide helps projects match their restoration goals with the appropriate monitoring metrics. In addition to providing common monitoring variables, the authors also discuss site selection and global oyster decline.

This project includes two elements: an assessment of local policies and an assessment of state policies
to enhance flood resilience as a part of the Smart Growth program in Vermont.

This document outlines a 5-step process to effectively design, plan, and implement tidal wetland restoration in the region betwee Maine to Virginia. Developed during a NOAA Restoration Center workshop, it details how to: predict relative sea level rise, gather relevant information, conduct sea level rise impact analysis, incorporate said analysis into project design, and implement maintenance and monitoring on the tidal wetland restoration projects.
