Richmond Resilience Assessment
As climate change causes precipitation and temperature trends to shift, the City of Richmond faces more extreme weather events such as flooding from heavy precipitation and extreme heatwaves. The Richmond Resilience Assessment is a comprehensive assessment platform developed in partnership with Fernleaf's AccelAdapt technology to evaluate and address the City's vulnerability to extreme heat and flood inundation.

This Resilience Assessment includes a social vulnerability analysis that examines socioeconomic factors alongside direct climate impacts, enabling City departments to prioritize equitable solutions for all communities. The Resilience Assessment also quantifies vulnerabilities at the parcel level, helping to identify specific at-risk assets and prioritize interventions where they're most needed as we work toward building a more climate-resilient Richmond for all residents.
