This exercise was designed to help communities contextualize and understand the specific impacts of hazards and identify populations vulnerable to those impacts. The worksheet, which is designed to focus on flooding, can also be adapted based on the blank template at the end to be used in assessing other hazards and their impacts. This data list was also created to provide a list of resources for vulnerability mapping and resilience planning.

  • Emergency Risk Communication Planning Worksheet - for Towns and Counties

These worksheets are designed to help communities plan for the range of communication required through the preparedness, response, and recovery phases of a serious public health event.

This worksheet is designed to assist communities in establishing a formal resilience committee structure by leading locality representatives through a brainstorming process to consider key questions and identify an appropriate committee framework.

This resilience self-assessment and guide is a resource for small businesses and organizations supporting businesses.
