2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report
Produced by an interagency effort, this technical report provides a synthesis of the most recent science related to sea level rise as an update to the previous 2017 report. The report will serve as a key technical input for the Fifth National Climate Assessment ("NCA5"). Data from the report are being incorporated into current and planned agency tools and services and are immediately available in NOAA's Sea Level Rise Viewer and NASAs Task Force Projection Tool. The report does not provide guidance or design specifications for a specific project, but is intended to help inform federal agencies, tribes, state and local governments, and stakeholders in coastal communities about current and future sea level rise. The website includes a companion Application Guide for the 2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report, which can help the reader understand relevant considerations and arrive at the best decision for their community, and a Frequently Asked Questions guide.

Feasibility Report Format and Content Guide
This guide provides general recommendations for the format and content of USACE feasibility reports with an integrated Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The guide can be used as a starting point for nearly all feasibility reports and is appropriate for use by entry-level to senior planners. It may also be used as a reference for policy reviewers and technical specialists. The format described in the guide is not mandatory.

CEQ Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool
The purpose of the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool is to help Federal agencies identify disadvantaged communities that are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution through publicly-available, nationally-consistent datasets. The tool also provides socioeconomic, environmental, and climate information to inform decisions that may affect these communities.
-
Coastal Resilience Evaluation and Siting Tool (CREST)
CREST is a tool developed by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation that can be used to make informed decisions about the siting of restoration and resilience projects. The tool identifies Resilience Hubs, which are areas of open space where projects may have the greatest potential to benefit both human community resilience and fish and wildlife. Resilience Hubs incorporate multiple indices, which can also be explored through CREST.

Corps Water Management System (CWMS)
The Corps Water Management System (CWMS) is the automated information system used by USACE to support its water control management mission. This mission encompasses the regulation of river flow through more than 700 reservoirs, locks and other water control structures throughout the nation. The system is also used to calculate annual damages prevented by USACEs flood risk management portfolio.
-
CorpsMap Applications
 USACE's CorpsMap suite of applications provides a single geospatial (GIS) interface national-level USACE and other federal datasets. Applications include CorpsMap, the Corps Project Notebook, the National Inventory of Dams, the National Levee Database, and the Life Safety Hazard Indicator.
-
Data.Gov
Vast collections of data, tools, mapping, and applications collected from federal, state, and local government agencies. Includes collections on topics including climate, ecosystems, disasters, and more.
-
Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) Tools Network
The Ecosystem-Based Management Tools Network is a collection of methods and software that help practitioners incorporate scientific and socioeconomic information into decision making. EBM tools can help: develop models of ecosystems; generate scenarios illustrating the consequences of different management decisions on natural resources and the economy; and facilitate stakeholder involvement in planning processes.

EJScreen: Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool
EJScreen is an environmental justice mapping and screening tool that provides a nationally consistent dataset and approach for combining environmental and demographic indicators. EJScreen users choose a geographic area; the tool then provides demographic and environmental information for that area and also includes a method for combining environmental and demographic indicators into EJ indexes.

e-Risk Register Tool
The e-Risk Register is an online tool designed by the USACE Institute for Water Resources to assess, manage, and view project risks in a consistent and integrated manner across Civil works project lifecycles. Training on use of the e-Risk Register website, including how to add new projects and how to find current and legacy APT projects, is available through the "Need Help?" link within the Tool.

FEMA's National Risk Index for Natural Hazards
The National Risk Index is an interactive tool that shows which communities are most at risk to natural hazards. It includes data about the expected annual losses to individual natural hazards, social vulnerability and community resilience, available at county and Census tract levels.
-
FEMA's HAZUS Software
FEMA's Hazus Program provides standardized tools and data for estimating risk from earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and hurricanes. Hazus models combine expertise from many disciplines to create actionable risk information that increases community resilience.

HEC-GeoFDA: Geospatial Preprocessor for Flood Damage Reduction Analysis
HEC-GeoFDA was developed to allow users to view geospatial flood risk management (FRM) study data and simplify tasks that are commonly performed to prepare data for use in the Flood Damage Reduction Analysis (HEC-FDA) program. The HEC-GeoFDA software has been built with the specific needs of FRM teams in mind and is intended to make geospatial pre-processing more intuitive and less error prone. This program does not require planning model approval or certification as it is only pre-processing and formatting existing input data for use in HEC-FDA.
-
Life Safety Risk Indicator 2 (LSRI2)
The LSRI2 tool provides a screening-level, relative representation of the life risk (average annual life loss) that would be reduced if a given structural or non-structural flood damage reduction project was constructed. LSRI2 is intended to serve as a budget tool to prioritize studies and projects starting with the FY25 budget development process. LSRI2 builds off of and replaces the Life Safety Hazard Index (LSHI) tool by incorporating not just consequence information, but also likelihood of the consequences.
-
National Structure Inventory (NSI)
The National Structure Inventory (NSI) provides a base national dataset of structure points and characteristics. Using the NSI, USACE engineers, economists, and others can generate improved estimates of flood risk through HEC-FIA, HEC-FDA, HEC-WAT, CWMS, and HEC-LifeSim. The NSI is a particularly helpful resource for teams in the early iterations of a Planning study. Though it is anticipated the NSI data will be updated at least annually, teams should note the data's limitations, including the need for population and price index adjustments before use.
