Tool to assess the probability of erosion after a prescribed burn in sagebrush ecosystems, based on climate, soil, vegetation, slope, and fire characteristics.

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 report contains a literature review that explores the development of a tool that guides the selection, configuration, and location of WRC.

This order explains the duties to be performed by all federal agencies to limit the impacts of invasive species throughout the United States.

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) have collaborated to develop passage design guidance for use by engineers and other restoration practitioners considering and designing nature‐like fishways (NLFs). The primary purpose of these guidelines is to provide a summary of existing fish swimming and leaping performance data and the best available scientific information on safe, timely and effective passage for 14 diadromous fish species using Atlantic Coast rivers and streams. 

This resource proposes values specific to green infrastrcutre and their associated benefits that can be used to standardize the BCA process for green infrastructure project applicants.

FEMA's geoplatform, including its geospatial resource center, facilitates information sharing between the federal government, NGOs, and the public. It includes geospatial data on hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and several other hazards that can be used for visualizing, siting, and exploring potential NBS implementation sites. 

This webpage links to three job aids published by FEMA detailing various forms of NBS (aids coded and discussed below:

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.

This guide gives actionable information on how to manage invasive cheatgrass.

This guide provides a protocol for land managers to monitor, map, and inventory invasive species. This guide aids in collaborative management by providing information that can be shared across jurisdictions. Because it is an older resource, the technical mapping data may be outdated.

FACT (Financing Alternatives Comparison Tool) is an easy-to-use financial analysis tool that
compares the costs associated with various financing options for water infrastructure and
water quality projects. There are two versions of the tool - FACT standard, which provides comprehensive analyses, and FACT Lite, which offers simplified analyses for high-level cost comparisons.

This best practices guide illustrates a variety of incentives states use to encourage consideration and implementation of green infrastructure (as well as other NBS adoption strateges) and foster sustainability within their programs.

This resource explains the differences between constructed and existing firebreaks and how to use them for prescribed burns.

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.

This checklist includes overall strategies to improve flood resilience as well as specific strategies to conserve land and discourage development in river corridors; to protect people, businesses, and facilities in vulnerable settlements; to direct development to safer areas; and to implement and coordinate stormwater management practices throughout the whole watershed.

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.

Incorporating the natural dynamism in dune ecosystems into restoration projects is covered in the chapter, in addition to specific techniques. The authors also discuss the benefits involved with dune restoration and balancing restoration with recreation.

This resource manual provides examples of adaptation strategies for alternate forest management in northeast, upper midwest, and urban forests across the United States. It also includes several workbooks forest managers can use to plan and implement these adaptation strategies.
