Problem
Municipalities often lack the time, budget, and technical expertise to develop comprehensive climate resilience plans, leading to delayed action and missed funding opportunities.
Solution
RIA offers a web‑based platform that generates a complete, grant‑ready climate resilience plan in about 15 minutes. Users input a city or ZIP code, and the system automatically pulls hazard data from FEMA, NOAA, USGS, and CDC, presenting plain‑language risk summaries for flood, heat, wildfire, drought, air quality, and social vulnerability. Based on the community’s budget, timeline, and departmental responsibilities, the platform recommends from a library of over 1,000 curated resilience actions. The selected actions are compiled into a project narrative that can be downloaded and submitted for funding. Optional on‑demand expert support is available to refine the plan, strengthen funding proposals, and assist with stakeholder engagement.
