Day after day, week after week, the United States faces a barrage of climate extremes: wildfires in California. Drought on the Great Plains. Flooding in Florida.
A key feature is a running tally of climate-juiced hazards — such as droughts, wildfires and floods — and the number of U.S. residents facing these threats. The website is constantly updating these figures, but it also provides historical data for context.According to the website, more than 58.7 million U.S. residents were under an inland flood alert as of 7:15 p.m. Monday.
The interactive website was designed with "a single goal in mind," David Hayes, special assistant to the president for climate policy, said in a webinar last week. The portal also will be a clearinghouse for information to help communities adapt to changing climate conditions, with a particular focus on disadvantaged areas that historically have been underserved by government programs. Officials said they will strive to "make sure planned actions reduce exposure and risk in ways that are equitable and inclusive,” the agencies said.
