An Analysis and Demonstration of the National Water Model’s Applicability to Community Resilience Planning

The potential application of NOAA’s National Water Model to community planning and resilience-related decision-making is the subject of a 3-phase study involving community engagement in each phase. Funding for this work was provided by the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH).

Modeling Community Trust: A Collaborative Approach to Scoping Water Forecasting Needs and NOAA Product Use in Indigenous Communities of Northeast Oklahoma

This project is a collaborative effort between the University of Alabama, the National Tribal Geographic Information Support Center (Tribal GIS), University of Vermont, CUAHSI, Global Resilience Institute (GRI) at Northeastern University, and University of Kansas. It responds to the CIROH Request for White Papers for FY23 Funding Opportunity under the Decision Support and Community Resilience Research Theme.

International Collaborative Co-Development in the U.S Virgin Islands to Advance and Scale Adaptation and Resilience Efforts in the Caribbean Region

This NOAA AdSci funded project, proposes to work with a community in the island of St. Thomas, one of three main islands that make up the USVI (the other two being St. John and St. Croix). This project will engage community members living in the island of St. Thomas via a variety of participatory methods to better understand their current adaptation and resilience needs, goals, and barriers and then co-develop a set of actionable, climate adaptation pathways for increasing community resilience.

Advancing Community Climate Resilience Planning in the Caribbean Region

This is a funded project via USAID beginning in 2023. In collaboration with the University of the West Indies (UWI) and University of Hawai‘i at Mona, GRI is working with two communities in Barbados and one in Dominica to prepare community resilience baseline assessments that can identify gaps and inform interventions that will bolster community and climate resilience. The project team will bolster the capacity for the CIHERC higher education partners to play a key supporting role in assisting Caribbean Island Nations in undertaking similar efforts to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change.
