ICARIA Resilience Assessment Tool (RAT)

Evaluate the resilience of critical assets with ICARIA's Resilience Assessment Tool. This tool provides an analysis of vulnerabilities to climate-related risks and the reslience capabilities of the critical entities managers, helping to develop adaptation strategies to strengthen resilience against complex disasters.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Complete a structured questionnaire on a critical asset or entity's exposure and resilience capabilities
  • Provide user-supplied data, such as uploaded information and reported local data
  • Assess vulnerabilities against climate-related and complex disaster risks

Output

  • Reports and decision-support results on asset vulnerability and resilience capabilities
  • A structured evaluation to inform adaptation strategies for critical entities

Use it to

  • Evaluate the resilience of critical assets and infrastructure to climate-related risks
  • Identify vulnerabilities in the resilience capabilities of critical-entity managers
  • Develop adaptation strategies to strengthen resilience against complex disasters
  • Support monitoring and evaluation of resilience under the Critical Entities Directive

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Directly targets a gap most tools in this collection don't cover: helping managers of critical infrastructure (energy, transport, water, buildings) assess their own resilience against climate-related and complex disaster risks, in a form designed to support implementation of the EU Critical Entities Directive. As a self-assessment based on user-provided data, it requires high-level expertise to complete and interpret, and its results are restricted rather than openly published.

Used in

  • Resilience self-assessment for critical entities and infrastructure operators across Europe, developed through Horizon Europe ICARIA
  • Buildings, business and industry, energy, transport, urban and water-management sectors
  • Support for implementation of the EU Critical Entities Directive considering climate-change impacts
