Communities Responding to Extreme Weather (CREW) is a network of local leaders building grassroots climate resilience. Climate Resilience Hubs are community institutions that help educate residents about extreme weather preparedness and other impacts of climate change. CREW is helping to establish Climate Resilience Hubs across the U.S. that coordinate information and distribute resources to their community members, especially in times of crisis, including having back-up power and plans for communicating during widespread service disruptions.
