The cumulative number of products across model regions by year (basically, products + regions complete). The measure is calculated by adding when a model component is completed and integrated into the regional model for the region indicated. As planned under the NOAA Climate and Fisheries Initiative, OAR will incorporate the three products above (high-resolution prototype ocean hindcasts, Seasonal to Multi-annual Predictions, and projections) into the regional models for the four regions listed (East Coast, West Coast, Arctic, and Pacific Islands). These enhanced regional models will be part of the information developed and provided to users to help manage U.S. fisheries that are impacted by climate change.

NTIA will provide Technical Assistance / Engagements (webinars, events, online materials, one-to-one assistance) to States and Territories to support their development and completion of comprehensive 5-Year Broadband Action Plans and support for the implementation of those plans through the BEAD Grant Program.

Funding drives much of the discussion around what an organization can achieve. Measuring the impacts of EDA grants on grantees’ and clients’ abilities to gain additional funding is a strong indicator of grant success. This KPI reflects on the amount of financing and investment deals EDA's grantees and their clients obtained as a result of the grant and its provided services.

NCIs Regional Climate Services support development and delivery of place-based climate science and information products and services to help people make informed decisions relevant to region-specific economic activity, hazards, and vulnerability. The annual target notes the number of top economic sectors to be analyzed in each region as well as the total number of sectors analyzed across the six RCS regions. The sectors can vary from region to region (i.e., fishing/tourism will be an important sector for coastal areas but not in the Midwest).

For more than two decades, the emergency management community has articulated a need for real-time, street-level flood inundation maps depicting the areal extent, depth, and infrastructure impacted by flood waters, to inform critical decisions that save lives and property before, during, and, after a flood event. NOAA will collect and integrate high-resolution bathymetric and topographic data to advance flood and inundation mapping capabilities, particularly for previously underserved communities inland and along the coast. NOAA tracks the progress of making real-time flood inundation mapping services available for 100% of the U.S. population, using Oak Ridge National Laboratory LandScan 2019 data and the latest Census data to assess how many residents lie within the areas served by FIM.

The Arctic is a vast, remote region that is critical to the United States economy, weather and sea ice forecasting, our understanding of ecosystem health (including marine mammals and fisheries), and our understanding of climate change. Due to the presence of low temperatures, harsh sea conditions, limited telecommunications infrastructure, and sea ice, maintaining a network of sea ice buoys, Air-Launched Autonomous Micro-Observers, and Bering & Chukchi moorings is difficult, necessitating constant deployment of a combination of expendable technologies and retrieval and redeployment of a large network of moorings in the Bering and Chukchi Seas.
