This resource is a compilation of every beach nourishment project in the United States. Equipped with a map to help navigate the projects, the database includes the cost of beach nourishment projects as well as how many nourishment events have been completed. .

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. 

This interactive map can be used to see different climate scenarios and their effects at the state, watershed, and regional level. It could be a useful tool for illustrating the utility of NBS strategies in specific regions.

This document outlines the national forest strategy for reforestation across the country. Reforestation is one of the most essential approaches for forest restoration, and this guide provides a framework for government agencies managing reforestation projects.

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.

This website provides information for each state’s plant diagnostics lab(s), which aim to support the health and productivity of plants affected by pests and pathogens.

These maps show priority areas for fuel management efforts throughout the continental US.

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.

Compiled by scientists, the NRRSS database contains information about more than 37,000 river restoration projects in the United States It also collects scientific papers on river connectivity that originated from information found in the database.

This publication was developed to help people on Florida’s coast select and use plants for coastal stabilization and habitat
restoration.

This document is a job aid that aims to provide Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) personnel and stakeholders with field guidance specific to Puerto Rico on using Natural and Nature-Based Solutions (NNBS) to stabilize shorelines through the protection, enhancement or restoration and creation of sand dunes in alignment with FEMA’s strategic goals for climate resilience.

This Job Aid is designed to equip FEMA personnel and stakeholders with the necessary knowledge and field-oriented, practical advice for effective stormwater management works in Puerto Rico through the application of Natural and Nature-Based Solutions (NNBS). This involves capturing and storing rainwater and/or promoting the infiltration of runoff, not only to reduce flood levels, but also to support stream base flows and groundwater levels, consistent with FEMA's strategic objectives for enhancing climate resilience.

This job aid is designed to equip FEMA personnel and stakeholders with the necessary knowledge and field-oriented, practical advice for successful streambank stabilization works in Puerto Rico through the application of Natural and Nature-Based Solutions (NNBS). This involves restoring, protecting and enhancing riparian buffers and vegetation along the streams in Puerto Rico, especially those with repetitive loss, consistent with FEMA's strategic objectives for enhancing climate resilience.

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 instructor-led course prepares participants to successfully plan/implement green/natural infrastrcuture projects in their coastal communities. It includes a self-guided virtual module and an in-person event where participants work with local experts to develop a green infrastructure strategy. An online version of the course is offered.

This interactive self-paced module helps users identify coastal hazard issues, review possible green infrastructure interventions, and ideate community green infrastructure plans.
