The “States at Risk” website was put together to look at how well each state is prepared to deal with impacts of changing climate.  The site provides ratings for each state on how prepared they are to deal with extreme heat, coastal and inland flooding, drought and wildfires and combines them into one overall grade.  You can visit the site and check on your state’s report card at https://www.statesatrisk.org/.  Of the states in the Southeast, North Carolina is the best prepared and Mississippi is the least prepared.
