EPA has published version 3.0 of its Climate Resilience and Evaluation Tool (CREAT) along with a methodology guide. The web-based application was developed to assist drinking water, wastewater and stormwater utility owners and operators in understanding potential climate change threats and assess the related risks at their individual utilities. According to the guide, the risk assessment process is designed to be iterative. The goals are to increase operators’ awareness of climate change impacts and assist utilities in determining threshold levels for asset failures. EPA.

In addition, EPA has published a workshop planner for climate change and an interactive map on a climate change adaptation case study.
