Agenda


Minutes:

Recording of the Telecon Meeting: (Starts 30 minutes in) Jim Fox Presents on Climate Resilience Toolkit

Jim Fox presented on the Climate Resilience Toolkit
The Design of the Climate Resilience Toolkit (CRT) website follows the agenda of the CRT: getting useful data in a form people can easily use

Goals:

  • Moving from data acquisition to action
  • Provide things that will help with risk and uncertainty
  • Help to look at things from a value perspective
  • Provide decision making building blocks - need to relate the data to what people care about



Workflow to answer three basic questions:

  • Did you know?
  • Why should I care?
  • What can we do about it?


There are other ways to dive into the data (examples - Topic Based & Use Cases) which get at a lot of problems which result in the lack of widespread adoption of Earth Science data.

  • Data in easy, usable formats
  • Trust
  • Traceability



Who are the users?

  • Decision Makers
  • Community Level
  • Staff and county managers - the planners who are accountable to elected officials
  • Not usually elected officials



What scenarios are highlighted as use cases are specifically Taking Action Stories: This is a way to connect to the information. Bringing people directly to case studies to see how they can relate and what could be useful to them. They can filter by problem topic, by examples, by areas of interest. For example:

People in the Agriculture Sector:

  • What tools they are using
  • What data they are accessing
  • Case studies show their progress on their action goals
  • Case studies tell their story
