Options Database

Three arrows pointing right toward three file folder icons

The Options Database lets you explore resilience-building solutions that other communities have considered. It lists more than 1000 options tied to specific hazards and assets; options were compiled from recent Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plans published in the United States. Learn more about the Options Database on its tool page »

Click the filter button and set the drop-down menus to display proposed solutions related to the climate-related hazards that concern you and the assets you want to protect.

Note that some federal personnel may not be able to view this beta feature of our website. We will incorporate the database into our site-wide refresh, anticipated by January 2025.
If you would like access to a .csv file of the data, please email your request to toolkit.climate.gov.
