Climate Resilience Measurement for Communities(CRMC)

Climate Resilience Measurement for Communities (CRMC)

Since 2013, the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance has successfully been developing and implementing the Flood Resilience Measurement for Communities (FRMC). To meet the increasing demand to measure resilience to multiple hazards (such as heatwaves and wildfires) in order to accelerate climate change adaptation, the FRMC has now evolved into the Climate Resilience Measurement for Communities (CRMC).

The CRMC is a data-driven process, complemented by a web-based tool and mobile app, which helps communities to evaluate and measure how resilient they are to climate hazards. Using the results, they can identify and implement resilience-building interventions and run additional measurements to track improvements.

On this page you will find the CRMC web-based tool and mobile app, guidance on applying the framework, information about methodology and supporting research, and testimonials from practitioners using it with communities. To learn more about the CRMC and find out how it can add value to your programs, please fill in the interest form, get in touch here or contact the Z Zurich Foundation.
