Plan for a Climate-Resilient Future

Asset-level emissions mapping and physical risk intelligence for evidence-based urban planning

Cities need granular data to make infrastructure investments, zoning decisions, and adaptation plans that hold up for decades. Floodlight maps emissions and physical risk at the facility and neighborhood level: the resolution urban planning demands.

The Challenge

What keeps you up at night.

Data Resolution Gap

National emissions inventories are too coarse for city planning. You need neighborhood-level data to prioritize infrastructure investments and zoning decisions.

Long Planning Horizons

Infrastructure decisions made today must account for 30-50 years of climate change. Scenario planning requires continuously updated, high-resolution data.

Federal Funding Requirements

Climate action grants (EPA CPRG, FEMA BRIC, EU Mission for Cities) require verified baseline data and measurable outcomes.

Infrastructure Financial Risk

Billions in municipal bonds and capital projects are exposed to climate-driven devaluation. Without financial risk quantification, cities face credit downgrades and stranded infrastructure.

Escalating Climate Hazards

Heat waves, flooding, wildfires, and storms are intensifying. Cities need real-time hazard monitoring to protect residents and prioritize adaptation investments.

How Floodlight Helps

Built for how you work.

Municipal Emissions Inventory

Satellite-derived emissions map for your entire jurisdiction, by sector, facility, and neighborhood. Updated continuously, not every 3-5 years.

Physical Risk Overlay

Map flood zones, heat islands, wildfire exposure, and sea-level rise against critical infrastructure: bridges, hospitals, water treatment, power grid.

Climate Action Plan Builder

Model emissions reduction scenarios at the project level. Quantify the impact of transit investments, building retrofits, and land-use changes.

Grant Compliance Reporting

Auto-generate baseline inventories and progress reports for EPA CPRG, FEMA BRIC, C40, and other climate funding programs.

A Week With Floodlight

Your workflow, transformed.

Day 1

You reach out to Floodlight to discuss your city's climate planning and infrastructure assessment needs

Day 2

Complete our tailored questionnaire covering your city boundaries, infrastructure assets, and climate action plan goals

Day 3

Our team runs satellite overpass data across multiple satellites, mapping emissions and physical risk across your jurisdiction

Day 4

We apply our proprietary methodology alongside your questionnaire data to build a sector-level urban emissions inventory and scenario models

Day 5

You receive and review the draft climate plan with verified baseline data, physical risk overlays, and reduction scenarios

Day 6

Verification call to walk through the data, address questions, and align scenarios with your grant funding requirements

Day 7

Final climate action plan delivered with verified baseline, grant-ready reporting, and city council presentation materials
