areas that are at increasing risk from 
climate change, in particular from 
slow-onset climate hazards, including 
strategies to better manage equitable 
property buyouts, managed retreat, or 
relocation options for communities in 
those areas. 
(iii) At the discretion of the Chief Re-
silience Officer, information relating to de-
veloping or improving resilience metrics 
and indicators to assist the Federal Gov-
ernment and non-Federal partners— 
(I) to the maximum extent prac-
ticable, to consistently measure the re-
silience of human communities, nat-
ural systems, and physical assets to 
climate change; 
(II) to set baselines and targets 
to measurably increase resilience over 
time and measure progress towards 
goals outlined in the Strategy; and 
(III) to better monitor and assess 
the effectiveness of various resilience- 
building activities after implementa-
tion.

Federal funding expenditures for 
adaptation and resilience in con-

of 
the 
greatest

infrastructure investments and 
nature-based solutions;

retreat and relocation as adapta-
tion solutions; and

or outcomes that increase climate 
vulnerability. 
(v) Information relating to community 
considerations, including strategies for— 
(I) ensuring that the costs, bene-
fits, and risks resulting from resil-
ience efforts, including funding alloca-
tions, the methodologies for deter-
mining funding allocations, and exist-
ing and future policies, are equitably 
distributed among sectors of society, 
types of communities, and geog-

ported resilience efforts are— 
(aa) designed in consultation 
with the communities that will be 
affected by those efforts; and 
(bb) centered on the needs 
of those communities; and

PLAN.—Concurrently 
with the Strategy and each update of the Strategy, 
the Chief Resilience Officer shall submit to the 
President and Congress an Implementation Plan 
that describes how represented agencies intend to 
carry out the Strategy, which shall include— 
(A) a description of the roles and respon-
sibilities of each represented agency in carrying 
out each element of the Strategy described in 
paragraph (1); 
(B) a plan to enter into such interagency

tween and among the Federal Government and 
non-Federal partners as may be necessary to 
facilitate a unified national plan to build resil-
ience; 
(C) the use of any relevant metrics and in-
dicators described in paragraph (1)(E)(iii); and 
(D) recommendations on leveraging or de-
veloping a national web-based approached to 
share resilience, adaptation, pre-disaster mitiga-
tion best practices, experiences, projects, tech-
nologies, and approaches. 
(3) NATIONAL
ADAPTATION
AND
RESILIENCE 
OPERATIONS.—The Chief Resilience Officer shall in-
clude in the Strategy— 
(A) a summary of the existing resilience 
operations of each represented agency that in-
cludes— 
(i) the roles and responsibilities of 
each represented agency in building na-
tional resilience to the vulnerabilities de-
scribed in the National Climate Assess-
ment or other analyses relevant to each 
represented agency; 
(ii) the major findings and conclusions 
from adaptation plans or risk or vulner-

resented agency; 
(iii) the mechanisms by which each 
represented agency supports the resilience 
efforts of non-Federal partners, such as by 
providing funding, resources, and technical 
assistance; and 
(iv) an assessment of how each rep-
resented agency is working to ensure equi-

ment to build resilience in the United 
States;

priorities, or strategies underlying re-
silience operations and policy across
