Extreme weather and aging infrastructure are creating unprecedented challenges in the United States and around the globe. Many communities have suffered damages from a variety of weather-related events, such as severe weather such as hurricanes, droughts, increasing temperatures, wildfires, and storm surges. Numerous efforts exist to improve resilience to protect national security, energy and water security, economic well-being, and quality of life. As severe weather events increase in frequency and severity, many cities, states, tribes, and federal agencies are addressing the impacts through resilience planning and measures. In an effort to support communities with resilience planning, the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) initiated preparedness pilot projects designed to showcase community resilience planning in the City of Houston and the State of Colorado. This publication is the full, technical document, for the Colorado pilot project. The process is also summarized in a user-friendly web-version on NREL's website (visit www.nrel.gov/resilience-planning-roadmap) for easier access and replicability. NASA's pilot project with the City of Houston is summarized separately (visit https://toolkit.climate.gov/case-studies/climate-resilience to learn more). water security, economic well-being, and quality of life.
