The tool is an important complement to the team’s Temperature Trends Dashboard because in many regions, minimum temperatures are changing more than local average and maximum temperature.
The paper discussed the synoptic setting of the rainfall event, which caused over $1 billion in damage, and highlighted the need for further research on extreme precipitation events using Depth Area Duration.
The Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program (SCIPP), a NOAA CAP/RISA team, is co-organizing an in-person 3-day event focused on fostering meaningful dialogue and action on equitable climate resilience and adaptation across the region.
The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) and the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program, NOAA CAP/RISA teams, publish a new article examining the vulnerability of the water sector in rural, predominantly Indigenous and underserved coastal areas.
The National Climate Assessment informs the public and decision-makers in the U.S. about the status of climate change, its current impacts, and its future risks across the nation. The report also highlights opportunities for economic growth and resilience, as well as current mitigation and adaptation responses.
Darrian Bertrand, SCIPP’s Climate Assessment Specialist, collaborated with Kim Jenson at the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security to help alleviate misconceptions and promote the implementation of local hazard mitigation plans in Oklahoma.
While other resources exist that present regional or national trends in temperatures, few tools offer such information on a local level. This dashboard helps to fill that gap by providing location-specific information about changes in temperature in the last 52 years.
While far from comprehensive, the Louisiana Simple Planning Tool aims to provide relatively simple data tools that can be used to incorporate climatologies and future trends into hazard planning.
The goals of the discussion are to raise awareness among stakeholders on the connections between disaster resilience, climate change adaptation, and environmental justice, and for participants to take away actionable ideas for proactive climate planning.
