The Problem
There is a rise in the number of climate related disasters in the US with almost 50% of U.S. counties are now high-risk zones. Climate disasters are hitting harder, faster, and with rising financial tolls: $182.7B in U.S. losses in 2024. Yet homeowners and renters remain dangerously underprepared, leading to avoidable damage, slower recovery, higher costs, and intense emotional strain.
The Outcome
Resilink is a platform built to help residents actually prepare for and act on the climate risks specific to where they live. Rather than facing a scatter of disconnected government advisories, news alerts, and social posts, especially at the exact moment they need to move fast, users get one clear, single source of truth they can trust and act on immediately.
Impact
The Right Guidance When It Matters Most
When a climate event hits, Resilink delivers clear, contextual guidance tailored to each resident's situation cutting through confusion and information overload to help people navigate unexpected emergencies with confidence.
Preparedness That People Adopt
Resilink is designed to increase resident adoption of climate preparedness programs, making the experience feel personal and actionable rather than distant and overwhelming, so more people engage before disaster strikes.
Increased Community Resilience
Resilink fosters shared preparedness behaviors across neighborhoods building collective resilience that grows stronger the more people participate, creating communities that can support each other when systems fail.
Decisions
& Process
Built for someone who's never faced a disaster before, so clarity came first. Every touchpoint stays visually consistent, so nothing needs to be relearned mid-crisis. The identity leans calm and trustworthy, not alarming, because panic is the opposite of what helps someone act clearly. The interface stays phase-aware, quietly adjusting to whether someone is preparing, responding, or recovering, without making them figure out where they are.
