Their presentation, “Community Toolkits: Platforms for Preparedness, Response & Recovery,” focuses on a set of three tools designed to improve municipal response, resilience, and recovery during and after extreme weather events. Their approach is informed by downscaled climate scenarios and collaboration with emergency management departments in cities around the US. The first tool aids rapid situational awareness and hazard-impact mapping for CERT and trained Hazard Impact Teams. The second tool visualizes future climate extremes and vulnerability projections to inform mitigation and adaptation strategies. The third tool focuses on recovery planning through “ADAPT,” a collaborative planning tool for housing recovery and resilience. ADAPT seeks to streamline, standardize, and operationalize local planning processes by proactively developing post-disaster housing plans and resources before extreme events occur. This framework helps local governments develop a complete Housing Recovery and Resilience Plan through structured modules and uses scenario planning exercises to test assumptions and build preparedness. 📱 For more details, check out the attached flyer – and please SHARE this event within your networks!  🌐Missed our last webinar?  Catch all our sessions here.
