== Climate Hazard  Assessment Tools ==
'''INFO:'''
Climate hazard assessment tools are essential platforms or GIS applications that help governments, businesses, and individuals assess risks from natural hazards like floods, droughts, storms, and heatwaves. These tools often feature detailed maps and data, allowing users to evaluate the vulnerability of specific locations and develop adaptation strategies.
This section of the wiki provides an overview of climate hazard assessment tools categorized based on the climate hazard they address (flood, drought, heatwave, etc), and present it with the following information: 

* 	State or region: The region or state in which the portal is active.

The indicators can be viewed and used by anyone who needs them for projects, impact estimates and climate risk assessment of a territory. The climate portal is part of the tools that the Piedmont Region intends to make available to implement the Regional Strategy on Climate Change, so that the measures it provides to contrast climate change can be translated into useful and concrete actions, guided by a consolidated and shared knowledge base. The portal can display past climate data (1981-2010), trends of these indicators in the period 1958-2018 and future climate scenarios for different time periods: 2011-2040, 2041-2070, 2071-2100. All indicators in the portal have been allocated to specific sectors, to facilitate their identification: general, tourism, agriculture, forestry, water, health and energy, and transport.
