The Story of the National Capital Region Climate Risks Preparation and Adaptation Pilot
Hear about how some agencies are collaborating to prepare for climate change impacts. In January 2013, an all-day scenario brought agencies together to consider extreme temperature, sea-level rise, and extreme precipitation impacts projected for the long-term. Collaborators included the General Services Administration (GSA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), U.S. Global Change Research Program, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the District of Columbia Government.
NASA supplied downscaled climate data, IRS brought experience from a flooding event at their facility in 2006, and NCPC provided expertise in comprehensive planning. The scenario tackled impacts to specific systems, facility and supply chain assets, and considered how to identify partners and funding needs.
