Climate Adaptation and Resilience Project Area Fact Sheet

Climate change is a major mission priority for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), which performs the research, development, innovation, standards development, and operational experimentation required to adapt and transition climate science research performed by other agencies into operational use. S&T applies this research to the long-term changes in risk from multiple hazards, such as flooding and hurricanes.
