Resilience planning, particularly energy and water resilience planning, has been a key priority for the federal government, leading federal agencies to develop processes for identifying and addressing critical resilience gaps at their facilities and sites.
To achieve this, federal sites must identify climate hazards projected to impact the site and understand the sensitivity and adaptive capacity of the site.
This document highlights current limitations for developing event history assessments and suggests a framework for more consistently capturing key data points.
The purpose of this paper is to help inform how organizations could begin structuring a comprehensive process for recording the impacts of extreme weather events in order to facilitate climate vulnerability assessments, and thus, resilience planning.
