The URISA Climate and Community Resiliency Committee (CCRC) was originally formed as a task force in 2019 that focused on questions such as “What current impediments to data collection and dissemination exist?” or “What mechanisms exist or can be developed to increase awareness and collaboration between resilience researchers and GIS practitioners?”. Due to the success of the task force, it was elevated to a committee in 2020. In collaboration with the National Alliance for Public Safety GIS (NAPSG) Foundation, the URISA CCRC maintains an Experience Builder (ExB) application in ArcGIS Online that provides guidance and documentation on the use of key indices for both climate and social science. Over time, new developments across the various indices, and details about a particular index (e.g., the Social Vulnerability Index for the United States) need to be updated within ExB.

GISCorps volunteer Emilie Pratt from Virginia was selected to help URISA CCRC with their desire to get this ExB application updated before GIS-Pro in October.
