The EPA’s EnviroAtlas tool now includes expanded data for the Northern Mariana Islands and other noncontiguous U.S. regions. This update provides more precise climate predictions for temperature, rainfall, and potential plant moisture loss. With these insights, communities like the CNMI can better understand and prepare for future weather impacts. This expansion empowers territorial and state agencies to proactively plan for risks to infrastructure, conservation efforts, and public health. Additionally, it supports a more effective, ecosystem-based approach tailored to the territory’s unique environmental challenges. To learn more, visit https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/tutorials.
