Hoosier Resilience Index
The Hoosier Resilience Index is a tool designed by Indiana University’s Environmental Resilience Institute to help local decision makers understand the path to making their communities more resilient to climate change. The Index provides:
- Current data and future projections for extreme heat and extreme precipitation events;
- A platform local government officials and employees can use to evaluate how sensitive their residents and developed, natural, and agricultural areas may be to increasing heat and precipitation; and
- A series of self-evaluation worksheets and scores to help local governments understand their current preparedness and identify and prioritize new initiatives and policies to increase resilience.
