The Climate Resilience Screening Index CRSI has been developed as an endpoint for characterizing county and community resilience outcomes that are based on risk profiles and responsive to changes in governance societal built and natural system characteristics. EPA is developing a scalable climate resilience screening index CRSI for the US.
The impacts from a changing climate including extreme heat and more intense storms present challenges to water wastewater and stormwater utilities and the communities they serve.
Climate resilience screening index. We developed a conceptual model of climate resilience CRSI Climate Resilience Screening Index designed to be sensitive to changes in the natural environment built environment governance and social structure and vulnerability or risk to climate events. CRSI has been used to develop an index score for climate resilience at the county level scalable both upward and. The Climate Resilience Screening Index CRSI is a composite measure developed to characterize the resilience of socio-ecological systems in the context of governance and risk to natural hazard events.
Comprised of five domains Risk Governance Society Built Environment and Natural Environment Represented by 20 indicators. The Climate Resilience Screening Index CRSI has been developed as an endpoint for characterizing county and community resilience outcomes that are based on risk profiles and responsive to changes in governance societal built and natural system characteristics. The Natural Hazard Resilience Screening Index NaHRSI.
Previously entitled Climate Resilience Screening Index has been developed as an endpoint for. EPA is developing a scalable climate resilience screening index CRSI for the US.

The purpose of CRSI is to characterize resilience for the nation. Resilient development a single approach to building a global index for climate resilient development does not exist. The high number of differences between the scores of the three indices indicates that a single index in the climate resilient development domain is a sort of chimera.
Any index should address a specific policy request with a clear objective. EPA scientists had set to work on the tool called the Climate Resilience Screening Index under the previous administration. By ranking regions states and counties across the US they hoped to reveal which areas need to boost their resilience most urgentlyand to prompt local and national governments to act accordingly.
The Climate and Disaster Risk Screening tools have been updated for four pilot sectors. Agriculture Water Health and Energy. A two new screening tools one Rapid Screening Assessment and In-Depth Screening Assessment.
B links to new sector specific climate information. C sector screening guidance notes for each of the four sectors. Explore interactive graphs and compare time-series maps showing climate projections and observations for any county in the contiguous United States.
You can also explore historical temperature and precipitation observations at hundreds of climate stations and view observed and projected days of high-tide flooding at more than 90 coastal tide-gauge stations. This report presents recommendations for how state governments can develop climate-resilience financial systems that help local communities invest in protecting residents businesses public infrastructure private property and natural resources from climate-driven stresses and shocks. To help states consider and act on the recommendations a State Climate Resilience Action Checklist page.

Comprised of five domains Risk Governance Society Built Environment and Natural Environment Represented by 20 indicators. CREAT Climate Resilience Evaluation and Awareness Tool This tool can assist drinking water and wastewater utility owners and operators in understanding potential climate change threats and in assessing the related risks at their individual utilities including from drought saltwater intrusion sea level rise and source water impacts.
The Climate Resilience Principles will inform the development of sector-specific Climate Resilience Criteria for the Climate Bond Standard Certification Scheme the Standard. These Criteria will be applied alongside existing Climate Mitigation Criteria under the Standard. The Climate Resilience Screening Index CRSI has been developed as an endpoint for characterizing county and community resilience outcomes that are based on risk profiles and responsive to changes in governance societal built and natural system characteristics.
The Natural Hazard Resilience Screening Index NaHRSI. Previously entitled Climate Resilience Screening Index has been developed as an endpoint for characterizing county resilience outcomes that are based on risk profiles and responsive to changes in governance societal built and natural system characteristics. The indexderived from two years of data collection from sources such as NOAA the Census Bureau the UN.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Nature Conservancyattempts to present. A new conceptual model for resilience to climate events is proposed that incorporates some available structures and addresses these five domains at a national regional state and county spatial scale for a variety of climate-induced events ranging from superstorms to droughts and their concomitant events such as wildfires floods and pest invasions. This conceptual model will be developed in a manner.
Welcome to EPAs Climate Resilience Evaluation and Awareness Tool CREAT Climate Scenarios Projection Map. This map provides easy-to-access scenario-based climate change projections drawn from CREAT. The impacts from a changing climate including extreme heat and more intense storms present challenges to water wastewater and stormwater utilities and the communities they serve.
Kevin Summers from the US Environmental Protection Agency EPA will unpack his work on the Climate Resilience Screening Index. While there are actions to increase resilience the uncertainty of our climate makes this concept difficult to measure.
