We released the Climate Adaptation Planning: Guidance for Emergency Managers. Emergency managers can help communities develop effective hazard mitigation and adaptation strategies to become more resilient to the impacts of climate change. They are in a key position to help bring different parts of the community together to complement long term strategies that address climate adaptation as well as day-to-day planning challenges in a comprehensive way.
This climate guide helps emergency managers incorporate climate adaptation into emergency management planning efforts. It is designed to walk state, local, tribal, and territorial partners through the Six-step Planning Process, as identified in “Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101: Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans.” The Guide also touches on topics to include “Climate Science for Emergency Managers”, “Climate Adaptation Planning”, and “Financing Climate Adaption and Mitigation”. The climate guide identifies emergency manager responsibilities and resources in climate adaptation planning by highlighting:
- Climate impacts by community lifeline and recovery support function
- Existing climate mapping tools
- Potential funding resources
- Climate trainings
We will host a series of 60-minute webinar sessions to provide an overview of the climate guide by sections and appendices. The sessions will include facilitated discussions with stakeholders and preview forthcoming supporting materials. The webinars will also provide information on the Emergency Management Institute’s new Climate Adaptation and Hazard Mitigation Certificate Program.
