from Introduction

Cal-Adapt has been designed to provide access the wealth of data and information that has been, and continues to be, produced by the State's scientific and research community.  The data available in this site offer a view of how climate change might affect California at the local level. Here you can work with visualization tools, access data, and participate in community sharing to contribute your own knowledge. 

Cal-Adapt's development is a key recommendation of the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy [...].
