First Street
First Street Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to quantifying and communicating climate risk across the United States. By leveraging advanced climate science and engineering methodologies, the foundation provides detailed assessments of various environmental hazards, including flood, wildfire, wind, extreme heat, and air quality. Our mission is to make climate risk accessible, easy to understand, and actionable for individuals, governments, and industries. Through comprehensive data and analysis, First Street Foundation aims to bridge the gap between climate change and financial risk, enabling informed decision-making and proactive risk management. Our hazard models are purpose-built and peer-reviewed. They cover flooding (surge, pluvial, fluvial, tidal), hurricane winds, wildfire (ember flux and flame length), extreme heat, and air quality (ozone and PM2.5).

EcoAct Climate Risk Tool
The EcoAct Climate Risk Tool (ECLR) is a comprehensive climate risk assessment and visualization platform designed to evaluate the vulnerability of organizations' physical sites to 28 distinct climate change hazards. It enables users to explore various criticalities, climate scenarios, and time horizons, facilitating the strategic prioritization of mitigation and adaptation measures. ECLR models both common climate risks, such as floods and heatwaves, and less prevalent hazards like glacial lake outburst floods, salinization of coastal water tables, and ocean acidification impacts. Aligned with leading climate reporting frameworks, including the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the EU Taxonomy, the platform supports organizations in adopting proactive strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

FloodMapp
Using fit-for-purpose models and visual flood impact information, businesses can operationalize risk mitigation, enhance informed decision making and create greater situational awareness. FloodMapp products are powered by DASH, a groundbreaking hydraulic model purpose-built to give emergency managers rapid and localized flood data they can depend on for decision making. DASH can scale across states without the expensive price-tag to protect all communities and assets. Rapidly updating and dynamic flood information to power informed decisions. Community and asset-level impact information to prevent losses instead of broad flood information. Our core mission is to build a safer future. We want to see a world where no lives are lost in flood events. Where people get home safe to their families and loved ones, always. In the face of a changing climate, we want to see more resilient, prepared and prosperous communities.
