The document summarizes a presentation on community resilience planning for disasters from national, state, and local perspectives. It discusses the goal of making communities resilient by saving lives and enabling quick recovery. A holistic approach is needed both before and after disasters, requiring public education, governance models, financial planning, and performance-based engineering. Case studies are presented on San Francisco's Earthquake Safety Improvement Program and Soft Story Legislation, which aim to retrofit vulnerable buildings to enable sheltering in place. Companion community programs support resilience through preparedness and post-disaster recovery.

On April 26, David Rouse and Rob Kerns of WRT and Shawn McLaughlin, Union County, PA Planning Director, presented "The Sustainable Comprehensive Plan" at the American Planning Association's National Conference in Minneapolis. WRT's planners are developing an overall approach and specific techniques designed to integrate sustainability into plans and implementing regulations at scales ranging from cities and regions to downtowns and neighborhoods. The Union County Comprehensive Plan, which was featured in the presentation, represents an application of WRT's sustainable planning and zoning initiative. It includes sustainability principles and keys as an organizing framework, supported by specific actions and indicators to measure progress in achieving sustainability targets.
Union County is a rural county in central Pennsylvania that is rich in agricultural, natural, historic, and small town resources. The comprehensive plan, which is expected to be adopted by the county commissioners this summer, was prepared with extensive public participation using the "values-driven" planning process pioneered by WRT. Through this process county residents expressed a strong interest in energy conservation and other sustainability issues.
"Union County is remarkable in that it is a small community with limited fiscal and staff resources that has made a commitment to sustainability in its draft comprehensive plan," said David Rouse, WRT's principal-in-charge of the project. "We expect major cities such as Seattle, Portland, and New York City to lead the way in addressing issues such as climate change and peak oil. However, we need many more places like Union County to take on this challenge if we are to find our way to a sustainable future."
Presented at the recent 7th Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum Program, the presentation lays out three propositions:
- Our cities are multi-dimensional and current frameworks are inadequate for the future
- Future cities require a Resilience Code
- Community resilience requires partnership between public, NGO and private sectors

The City Resilience Framework is a unique framework developed by Arup with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, based on extensive research in cities. It provides a lens to understand the complexity of cities and the drivers that contribute to their resilience. Looking at these drivers can help cities to assess the extent of their resilience, to identify critical areas of weakness, and to identify actions and programs to improve the city’s resilience.
How can resilience planning processes be used for integrated resources management within a city? This presentation presents three recent examples from the Rockefeller Foundation's Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) and 100 Resilient Cities initiatives.

Building Urban Resilience in Critical Infrastructure
Assets, systems, and networks that are essential by governments for the functioning of a society and economy and deserving of special protection for national security.
The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures and functions through risk management (UNDRR).
The FIVE ICLEI PATHWAYS reflect ICLEI’s approach to achieving a sustainable city as well as local contributions to implementing the goals laid out in international frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals. Any of our individual projects or initiatives can be oriented along one or more specific pathways. We also look at how the pathways connect to bring about change in an INTEGRATED way. For example, we consider how nature-based development contributes to resilience, or how to bring equity into low emission development.
Cities need to look at resilience from a systemic governance perspective
Integrated management starts with wide-scale mobilization of support from stakeholders and robust facts and data.
Challenges often lie in the acceleration and upscaling of activities. Individual best practice is easier to achieve, follow-up funding and investment is challenging

3. Goal:
Resilient Communities
• A Resilient Community can take “the Punch” of
an event and through preparedness and the
impromptu response of those affected, recover
quickly.
• Goal is to save the people, their neighborhoods,
their cultural heritage and their local economy.
• Earthquake Professionals have a contribution to
make to every aspect.
Resilience Planning -- 2013 EERI Annual Meeting
4. Resilient Communities
Requires a Holistic Approach before and
after the event
• Human Resilience is the engine
• Infrastructure Resilience is the foundation
• Recovery governance sets the pace and
direction
• Financial Resources are the fuel
Requires public education, interim governance models,
financial planning and performance based
engineering.
Resilience Planning -- 2013 EERI Annual Meeting
5. Public Education
Human Resilience: Knowing what may
happen, how to respond, and deciding to “tip-
in” and contribute to the recovery. Damage
must be expected and recovery possible.
Understand the earthquake potential
Understand what will happen to their
homes, neighborhoods, jobs, and
businesses
Have plans for immediate response and for
long term recovery
Able to “shelter-in-place” and help out
Resilience Planning -- 2013 EERI Annual Meeting
6. Recovery Governance
Core functions of government
• Provide vision and leadership for recovery and rebuilding
• Restoring public facilities and services
• Provide resources and information
Why is it different than business as usual?
• Time compression
• Scale
• Tension between rebuilding quickly and deliberately

Resilience Planning -- 2013 EERI Annual Meeting
7. Governance
Need to do
• Predefine a transitional form of governance
• Maintain current land use plans that include
what can be done better. Deal with
liquefaction, landslide, and faulting zones
• Develop reconstruction codes and standards
• Develop a new generation of communication
• Identify mechanisms for financing rebuilding
Resilience Planning -- 2013 EERI Annual Meeting
8. Finance
Available Sources
• Personal Savings
• Insurance
• NGO Community
• Banks and investors
• Business
• Federal Government
Resilience Planning -- 2013 EERI Annual Meeting
9. Performance Based Engineering
• Transparent Hazard Definitions
• Transparent Performance Measures for
Buildings
• Transparent Performance Measures for
Lifelines
• Performance Goals that support response and
recovery

Resilience Planning -- 2013 EERI Annual Meeting
Thank you for join us this morning Been talking about Resilience for a long time, beyond arguing about definitions Talk about what we are doing Get ready, this is intended to be a discussion
Human resilience requires capacity building and addressing the social needs of disadvantaged, elderly, physically and mentally challenged to get tipping in to support recovery Infrastructure – 16 lifelines, structures, food, healthcare, financial services, Governance - EOC, transition, normal, recover to a new city, reuse and urban infill, transit Finance including incentives - incentives are about the community payig for saving the community
For the workforce to stay, damage and disruption must be expected short term recovery must appear to be possible Must be transparent and understandable To be short term , must be able to shelter in place About capacity building
Post event, the core functions are reduced to the necessities Best to have operational public facilities – then services follow Need a constant flow of credible and accurate information social media, mine for data, drowned out the miss-information Times goes from weeks to minutes, permits to repair or demolish balance public input with the need to rebuild quickly
EOC is fast paced, without regard to cost or impact, about security, health and safety Need an interim, transitional form of governance Sort out interaction of cities, counties, regions and state responsibilities Post event is no time to re-plan the city, up-to-date plans must be in place and ready to implement – no NZ in the US, maybe some ATC has published for CAPPS a reconstruction guideline based on disproportionate damage, ICC? Taping into Social Media is beyond me…..opportunities re endless Can’t expect government to finance, but they should be the resource and facilitator
Thinking about financing Don’t overlook personal savings and sweat equity Insurance is good, but NZ has an interesting twist. NGO’s rush to the rescue, philanthropy, but need to be coordinated with recovery programs. Shelter in place neighborhoods Banks and Investors are looking for financially viable opportunities, make those available asap. PPP’s Big business wants to help, Chambers of commerce serve small business, Business Civic leadership Center coordinates in kind services.
Build for the expected, plan to respond to the extreme
