For the sixth consecutive year, FEMA has updated its free, easy-to-use geographic information systems (GIS) tool that helps emergency managers and local partners assess threats and hazards that may challenge their community’s resilience. 

The 2025 update of the Resilience Analysis and Planning Tool includes new census data from the American Community Survey five-year estimate (2019-2023) and the updated Community Resilience Challenges Indices for counties and census tracts. There are 22 commonly recognized indicators available in the Community Resilience Challenges Indices that can be found in the Resilience Analysis and Planning Tool.

The tool provides emergency managers and community leaders at all levels of government access to the latest population, infrastructure and hazard data with easy-to-use analysis tools. This allows users to combine layers of community resilience indicators, infrastructure locations and hazard data so they can make more informed decisions on mitigation, response and recovery. 

The Resilience Analysis and Planning Tool includes over 100 pre-loaded data layers, and its functionality allows users to visualize combinations of these data layers for a specific location. This 2025 update includes updated U.S. Census data: The latest American Community Survey five-year estimates (2019-2023) with refreshed pop-ups, and a County Overview: This dashboard, embedded in the tool, provides at-a-glance information at the county level.

Take a Tour: Explore the functionality of the updated tool in Esri’s ArcGIS Experience Builder.
