About GCX Resilience

EPA's study of resilience to climate change includes the release of three tools:

1. Equitable Resilience Builder tool is an application that supports communities in resilience planning with a focus on equity. It engages users in a guided process to inclusively assess local hazards, equity, and the resilience of built, natural, and social environment systems. It then uses the results to collaboratively prioritize actions to build community resilience in an equitable way.
2. The Adaptation Organon for Resilient Natural Resources is a system for considering climate change and other environmental information to inform adaptation and improve natural resource management for resilience and sustainability.
3. The Resilient Coastal Wetlands and Communities: Workshop Proceedings | Risk Assessment Portal | US EPA
