How we define resilience​
Resilience support refers to any policy, program, infrastructure, or community initiative designed to reduce risk, increase preparedness, and enhance recovery from climate-related events. Examples include:
-
Community education
-
Nature based solutions like wetlands restoration
These measures aren't just about bouncing back after disaster but adapting before disaster hits
OUR MAP
The purpose of the CRMT is to help city planners, community action takers, and researchers to understand what "resilience" looks like in their community. What is being done, where are there gaps, support, and what are some useful tools, contacts, and examples of successful resilience projects going on around the world.
​​The CRMT recognizes that resilience support is not just a technical challenge but also a social and environmental one.
​
Key challenges include:
-
Disproportionate exposure: low-income and marginalized communities often face the highest flood risks with the fewest resources
-
Infrastructure fragility: roads, power grids, and wastewater systems near the coast are aging and unprepared for rising seas
-
Planning blind spots: many resilience strategies are outdated, with little integration across agencies or regions
-
Funding barriers: communities often lack the financial or political capital to implement resilience projects, especially small coastal towns
Each data point plotted and shown - whether it is a port, a flood-prone area, or a resilience initiative - serves a specific function in helping us understand the broader picture of coastal risk and response. Highlighting these features allows users to:
-
Visualize the proximity of vulnerable and critical infrastructure to rising sea levels
-
Identify regions with resilience strategies already in place
-
Pinpoint geographic gaps in climate adaptation
-
Compare flood risk exposure across communities
This spatial approach allows for smarter planning, resource allocation, and cross-sector collaboration in resilience work.
