In this commentary, we briefly review federal resources available to American communities to guide those assessments and plans and recommend a national climate resilience strategy and adaptation resource center to support community planners. A National Climate Change Preparedness Resource Center The diversity of current hazard vulnerability assessment and risk reduction planning tools demonstrate the need for a single national climate change adaptation resource center to which community leaders can turn. We therefore propose 2 essential steps to reduce US communities' vulnerabilities to climate and other hazards: (1) create a national strategy for climate adaptation and risk reduction, and (2) develop a curated national resource of community climate adaptation tools.
