CCS has released the latest in a series of subnational climate security briefers focused on the US states Colorado, Hawaii, and Washington. Each state faces a range of risks to lives, critical infrastructure, military bases, and local economies from intensifying extreme weather and climate hazards. Federal agencies, particularly the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), provide critical support to these states to help manage these risks. That support has, in some cases, already been cut by the Administration or is facing further proposed cuts.
