NOAA works closely with its partners in the Caribbean to shape understanding about climate and health, and support the development of knowledge to help inform decisions and manage risk.
FEMA is coordinating cross-agency contributions to support adaptation, resilience, and technical assistance to designated Community Disaster Resilience Zones.
A new MAPP-funded study contributing to the Climate Process Team initiative shows that increasing the time resolution of model output and collecting high-frequency data from climate models is essential for capturing land-atmosphere interactions, which are critical for predicting climate phenomena and improving resilience.
