The new website resilienceexchange.nc.gov serves as a portal for climate change research and grant funding for communities across North Carolina.
The N.C. Office of Recovery and Resiliency has created a new interactive resource to help people easily search the abundance of climate resilience information available and identify what will be most useful in their community.
The N.C. Resilience Exchange website offers funding opportunities, a directory of experts, interactive mapping tools, model ordinances and more in one website relevant to North Carolina communities.
“The Exchange began as an identified need for an online toolbox to share best practices and build equitable resilience,” said the state’s Chief Resilience Officer Dr. Amanda Martin in a news release. “We are eager to share the current version and will continue to update the Exchange over time – it’s an evolving resource for everyone in our state.”
Features of the site include:
— A searchable database of funding sources that could support resilience work including the type of project funded, a program contact and an example of a project completed with that funding source.
— Original case studies of successful resilience projects in North Carolina and beyond which include useful information like total cost and funding sources as well as interactive maps that allow users to explore the impact of different climate stressors on vulnerable populations, roads, agriculture or ecologically important species.
— A “find an expert” database that connects users with people willing to answer questions and
local government ordinances that can be used to protect communities from natural hazards and climate change.
The Exchange was funded through HUD Community Development Block Grant – Mitigation award as well as a technical assistance award from U.S. Climate Alliance.
