About this Website
ResilientMass is the Commonwealth’s initiative for building statewide capacity for climate change adaptation and resilience. This site hosts the ResilientMass Plan, which integrates hazard mitigation and climate adaptation planning, identifying strategies and actions state agencies will take to address risks to the human health and safety, communities, critical assets and infrastructure, natural resources, governance, and economy of the Commonwealth. Visitors can also identify and access climate data, maps, featured websites, tools, and documents relevant to climate resilience across Massachusetts.
The goal of the website is to inform the public and policy decisionmakers about the Commonwealth’s resilience strategy and programs, to track progress on state-led resilience actions, and to streamline the decision-making process to plan and prepare for climate change impacts. The ResilientMass site also helps users identify climate vulnerable areas and evaluate the risks posed by climate change; and develop local strategies and implementation plans. The Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) maintains this site.
Commitment to Scientific Integrity
The ResilientMass site is committed to including only information with scientific merit from credible sources. Where applicable, the ResilientMass site incorporates data and information that Massachusetts has used for statewide and local climate planning.
The ResilientMass website is a gateway to data and information relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation across the Commonwealth. It provides local climate change science and decision support tools for the Commonwealth to support decision making that enhances climate resilience for local planners, practitioners, policy-makers, and the public.
