The Coastal Community Resilience Index (CRI) is a tool communities can use to examine how prepared they are for storms and storm recovery. To complete the index, community leaders get together and use the tool to guide discussion about their community’s resilience to coastal hazards. It is a simple, inexpensive method to identify weaknesses a community may want to address prior to the next hazard event.
