The Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast’s (CCRUN), a NOAA CAP/RISA team, will host a panel discussion with the co-leads of the Climate Resilience Research Agenda (CRRA) Working Groups.
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (MARISA), a NOAA CAP/RISA team, principal investigators co-author new publication titled, “Rhodium-SWMM: An open-source tool for green infrastructure placement under deep uncertainty.”
This work helps link NOAA’s capabilities with islands including U.S. territories and APIs in support of resilience and addresses climate resilience and sustainable development.

CPO’s Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) program is changing its name to the Climate Adaptation Partnerships (CAP) program. Read on to learn more about the newly branded CAP program and how they’re advancing equitable adaptation through sustained regional research and community engagement.
The study, published in the Journal of Weather and Climate Extremes, found that the use of ensemble-based flood forecasting systems are more advanced than single forecasting systems, as they provide better information that can be used in emergency management decision making in the event of a disaster.
This research analyzed focus group responses to better understand the context for heat health warning systems and help incorporate stakeholder needs and interests into future management.
This is the authoritative text for planners on the issue of urban heat island resilience, and it was funded by the Extreme Heat Risk Initiative of CPO.
