Available tools include the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit, the Naval Facilities Engineering Command’s Climate Change Installation Adaptation and Resilience Planning Handbook, the NIST Community Resilience Planning Guide for Buildings and Infrastructure Systems, the NIST EDGe$ (Economic Decision Guide Software) Online Tool, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers climate preparedness and resilience planning tools, the U.S. Department of the Army’s Climate Assessment Tool and Climate Resilience Handbook, FEMP’s Technical Resilience Navigator, or any other Federal agency-developed climate resilience or adaptation planning tools that become available.
| NC&M Criteria 6.2 | Building Resilience and Adaptation | NON-CORE | ||
| S* | [C/I] | |||
| CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS: | ||||
| Option 1 | Utilize the risk assessment to determine and prioritize design parameters that should be incorporated to ensure resilient building design and operations over the intended service life of the building, considering mission criticality, cost, and security. Ensure the implementation of no cost and cost-effective climate resilience measures, and, where feasible, implement solutions that focus on operations. Consider in the operation plans of the building, facility, campus, or installation, the adaptive capacity of the building to cope with stressors and mitigate based on mission criticality and cost. Identify and implement measures, where appropriate, to support passive survivability and functionality during emergencies. | |||
| Option 2 | Ensure the implementation of cost-effective strategies identified through an agency developed resilience or adaptation plans or any other Federal agency developed climate resilience or risk assessment planning tools. (For examples of available tools, refer to criteria 6.1.) |
