U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit
“Steps to Resilience”
1. Explore Hazards
2. Assess Vulnerabilities and Risks
3. Investigate Options
4. Prioritize and Plan
5. Take Action
![Page 15: Preparing Erie For Extreme Weatherseagrant.psu.edu/sites/default/files/October 2019 LEEF Crane... · Preparing Erie for Extreme Weather: What to do and where to start •$20,000 from](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02f8a37e708231d406e989/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Explore Erie’s HazardsStep 1:
• Community engagement
workshopso One-day stakeholder
workshop in which key local
stakeholders will use their
expertise and experience to
make a list of Erie’s top
vulnerable assets
![Page 16: Preparing Erie For Extreme Weatherseagrant.psu.edu/sites/default/files/October 2019 LEEF Crane... · Preparing Erie for Extreme Weather: What to do and where to start •$20,000 from](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02f8a37e708231d406e989/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Assess Vulnerability and RiskStep 2:
• Use the results from Step 1 to evaluate
potential climate impact and level of risk
to each asset
• Use a formalized vulnerability assessment
process to assign a “score” to each asset
in various weather scenarios
![Page 17: Preparing Erie For Extreme Weatherseagrant.psu.edu/sites/default/files/October 2019 LEEF Crane... · Preparing Erie for Extreme Weather: What to do and where to start •$20,000 from](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02f8a37e708231d406e989/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Vulnerability Assessment
![Page 18: Preparing Erie For Extreme Weatherseagrant.psu.edu/sites/default/files/October 2019 LEEF Crane... · Preparing Erie for Extreme Weather: What to do and where to start •$20,000 from](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02f8a37e708231d406e989/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Preparing Erie For Extreme Weatherseagrant.psu.edu/sites/default/files/October 2019 LEEF Crane... · Preparing Erie for Extreme Weather: What to do and where to start •$20,000 from](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02f8a37e708231d406e989/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The purpose of this self-
assessment is to provide
community leaders with a
simple and inexpensive
method of predicting if
their community will reach
and maintain an
acceptable level of
functioning after coastal-
flooding, or other disasters
such as wind storm, ice
storm, or flash flood.

Investigate Options Step 3: • Brainstorm solutions to the
identified risks
• Prioritize action strategies
that would work best in
Erie
• Develop a best
management practices
guidance document
![Page 21: Preparing Erie For Extreme Weatherseagrant.psu.edu/sites/default/files/October 2019 LEEF Crane... · Preparing Erie for Extreme Weather: What to do and where to start •$20,000 from](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042314/5f02f8a37e708231d406e989/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Prioritize, Plan, Take Action! Steps 4 & 5:
• Evaluate costs, benefits, and
feasibility to accomplish each
action.
• Continue to work with community
members to integrate actions into
existing plans and strategies.
• Provide assistance to stakeholders
in securing the funding and
resources to implement actions
