Barriers Communities Face Cost/Resources Changing Political Environment Education-convincing others SLR and CC are real Disconnect between information and end users Needs Need for consistent message Need for confidence intervals/risk analysis Tools that provide a scale to street level Tools that incorporate several layers into one useful viewer

Tools: Resilience Index Uses information that is readily available Six tables in the eight page document Mainly yes or no questions Complete in less than three hours

Florida Pilot Tests Pilots Florida Ft. Myers Beach Marco Island Sarasota Cedar Key Steinhatchee Alabama Orange Beach Gulf Shores Dauphin Island Bayou La Batre Mississippi Pascagoula Ocean Springs Biloxi Pass Christian Louisiana St. Tammany Parish Cameron Parish Texas Port Arthur

Resilience Index Companion Tool of Critical Facilities

Tools: Sea Level Rise Viewer Joint project by the USGS, NOAA, and USACE

Climate Community of Practice (CoP) Risk Communication & Community Based Social Marketing Skills Technical Info From Experts Knowledge of Tools Case Studies Increased Competency In Sea Level Rise Outreach Education and Outreach with Coastal Communities Enhanced Resilience to Sea Level Rise, Storm Surge, etc. Feedback, Dialogue, Refinement of Outreach Flow Diagram of Actions, Outputs and Outcomes for the Gulf of Mexico Outreach Project April Workshop Outcome Begin Summer 2010

Climate CoP Measures of Success Extension, outreach and education professionals from around the Gulf will increase their competency in providing assistance to local communities in preparing for the impacts of sea level rise. Local elected officials become better informed about potential impacts of sea level rise on their communities. Community planners will become better informed about tools that are available from NOAA to adapt to SLR. Coastal communities will incorporate SLR into comprehensive plans. Coastal communities will become more resilient to SLR and related natural hazards including floods and storm surge.

Climate Resilience Engagement Panel (C-REP) The NOAA Gulf of Mexico Regional Collaboration Team (GoMRCT) recognizes the need to identify priorities and improve the responsiveness to local and regional climate- related priorities through stronger engagement with constituents Gulf-wide panel of more than 30 members Industry Federal and State Agencies (GOMA) Non-profits Universities C-REP serves as the primary mechanism for the NOAA GoMRCT to receive regional input

C-REP Function The Panel will meet annually and through regular communications using various electronic methods. Broad objectives of C-REP work with GoMRCT to improve the relevance of NOAA’s climate and resilience work in the Gulf of Mexico; serve as the transferring mechanism that links local and regional needs with NOAA products and services; provide guidance to NOAA climate scientists and extension, outreach and education specialists on effective methods to locally implement climate and resiliency programming within regions; and interact with GoMRCT on a regular basis to develop new, collaborative opportunities and projects of direct benefit to coastal businesses, residents, and the environment.
