Overview

This three-hour instructor-led online training introduces the “Roadmap” assessment approach designed to help communities characterize their exposure to current and future hazard and climate threats and incorporate relevant data and information about hazards and climate into existing planning and decision-making efforts.

After completing this course, participants will be able to

  • Understand key issues and impacts associated with current and future coastal hazard and climate risks
  • Identify major elements of community vulnerability
  • Apply relevant data, tools, and resources in their risk and vulnerability assessment work
  • Develop strategic "win-win" approaches for reducing risks and vulnerabilities while also addressing other community issues
