This document summarizes a presentation about building community resilience in San Francisco. It discusses lessons from Hurricane Katrina about the capabilities needed for communities to respond to disasters. It then outlines the Neighborhood Empowerment Network's approach, which involves convening communities, conducting workshops to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and developing action plans to build capacity in key functional areas. The goal is to empower local leaders and strengthen social networks and relationships with outside organizations to improve a community's ability to recover from hazards and stresses.
David Homsey of San Francisco's Neighborhood Empowerment Network describes the questions that drive him and keys to success for building prepared, connected, and empowered neighborhoods.
This presentation is an introduction to the Disaster Risk Reduction Ambassador Curriculum. This presentation was given at the Natural Hazard Mitigation Association's annual Symposium held every July in Broomfield, Colorado.

Kim Marousek - Setting the Stage for Regional Resiliencenado-web
As events over the past several years make all-too-clear, regions need to be better prepared to anticipate, withstand, and recover from multiple types of shocks and disruptions. Resilience planning and recovery will require regions to think creatively in the face of new and emerging threats. This session will highlight examples of how regions have responded to the current challenges of our time in creative and collaborative ways in an effort to become more resilient and better prepared for the future.

On March 22, 2021, 40 members of the rural wealth creation network attended a peer learning event to discuss economic development and workforce development, forestry, and energy. Rural wealth creation, or WealthWorks, is a framework for doing economic development that focuses on building upon assets in the community and connecting to real market demand to create lasting livelihoods in rural communities. This video captures the introductory general session moderated by NADO Associate Director Carrie Kissel, and also reporting out from breakout groups, but not the individual breakout group discussions.

Resilient King County Fall Summit PresentationResilientKC
An overview of the Resilient King County initiative, workshop themes, and key outcomes. This also includes a case study of Christchurch and how the city was transformed through its recovery process.
Cities around the world are facing challenges brought about by rapid increases in population and geographic spread, which places greater pressure on infrastructure and services. Climate change impacts, including rising sea level, more frequent and severe storms, coastal erosion and declining freshwater sources will likely exacerbate these urban issues, in particular in poor and vulnerable communities that lack adequate infrastructure and services.
Globally, the impacts of climate change on urban areas have received less attention than on rural areas where poverty levels are higher and populations depend directly on climate-sensitive livelihoods. However, more than 50% of the world’s population currently lives in cities. By 2050, this figure is expected to increase to 70%, or 6.4 billion people, and Asian cities are likely to account for more than 60% of this increase. Urban areas are the economic powerhouses that support both the aspirations of the poor and most national economies. Furthermore, urban residents and the economic activity they generate depend on systems that are fragile and often subject to failure under the combination of climate and development pressures. If urban systems fail, the potential direct and indirect impacts of climate change on urban residents in general, on poor and vulnerable populations, and on the wider economy is massive. As a result, work on urban climate resilience is of critical importance in overall global initiatives to address the impacts of climate change.
The Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) works at the intersection of climate change, urban systems and social vulnerability to consider both direct and indirect impacts of climate change in urban areas.
In November 2014, Rebuild by Design asked community leaders, design and planning experts, and government officials to discuss their experiences in creating and implementing large-scale infrastructure projects—and to highlight key strategies that can continue to make government-community collaboration effective.
This document distills their responses into specific themes and tactics. The governments of NYS, NJ, NYC, and CT can use these as they continue to develop the Rebuild by Design projects using the collaborative framework upon which the competition was based.

Rebuild by Design has established a small global working group on the design and politics of resiliency. This group is looking at—and assisting in shaping—how cities and regions around the world incorporate design into resiliency approaches, initiatives, and policy. Its first collective task is a collection of essays addressing two questions: First, identifying how design thinking is being incorporated and translated into political processes and understanding the obstacles that prevent design insights from informing policy practices. Second, collecting ideas for improving these processes, so that design and politics might be better integrated.
This initial group will form the core of a larger network that we aim to build over the long run. Meanwhile, are engaging directly with existing programs and initiatives. We will not duplicate efforts, but instead use this global working group to ignite broader discussions and further collaborations.

Best Practices in Resilience Planning to Support Economic Recovery nado-web
Many EDDs are currently in the process of spending their EDA CARES Act funding to support recovery and resilience in response to the pandemic. While the long-term economic landscape remains unclear, organizations can draw inspiration from prior examples of regions that have planned for resilience and better positioned themselves to recover from other shocks. This session at the 2020 NADO Annual Training Conference featured the best practices of three organizations that have embraced resilience planning. During this session, learn how these approaches and strategies can support your own efforts to enhance your CEDS, write resilience plans, leverage economic recovery coordinators, and overall make resilience the foundation for how you can approach planning and economic development.

300 words Building healthier cities and communities involves local.docxLyndonPelletier761
300 words
Building healthier cities and communities involves local people working together to transform the conditions and outcomes that matter to them. That civic work demands an array of core competencies, such as community assessment, planning, community mobilization, intervention, advocacy, evaluation, and marketing successful efforts. Supporting this local and global work requires widespread and easy access to these community-building skills. However, these skills are not always learned, nor are they commonly taught either in formal or informal education. The internet can provide an effective means for transmitting skill-building resources broadly and inexpensively. This section describes a free resource for building healthier communities called the
Community Tool Box
.
WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY TOOL BOX?
BACKGROUND.
In the early days of the World Wide Web (1995), we began work on an Internet-based resource for community change and improvement, the "Community Tool Box" (CTB). Our mission is to promote community health and development by connecting people, ideas, and resources.
We focused on developing practical information for community building that both professionals and ordinary citizens could use in everyday practice -- for example, leadership skills, program evaluation, and writing a grant application. The emphasis was on these core competencies of community building, transcending more categorical issues and concerns, such as promoting child health, reducing violence, or creating job opportunities.
We developed a broad and evolving Table of Contents and started writing, one section at a time. By mid-1999, there were over 160 how-to sections and over 3,500 pages of text available on the Community Tool Box. As of July 2000, there were over 200 sections online and more than 5,000 pages of text.
AUDIENCE.
The audiences or end users for this site include:
People doing the work of community change and improvement (community leaders and members)
People supporting it (intermediary organizations such as public agencies or university-based centers)
People funding it (governmental institutions, foundations, and others).
Use of the Community Tool Box grew nearly exponentially: over 100,000 hits in 1997, over 500,000 in 1998, and well over one million in 1999. Guestbook data confirm that users represent a wide variety of community-building settings and positions and come from all corners of the planet.
ATTRIBUTES.
Building healthier communities is hard work, requiring frequent adjustments to emerging opportunities and barriers. To be a resource for community work, a "tool box" would exemplify the following attributes:
Its content needs to be
comprehensive
. Since effective community members and practitioners need a variety of skills, sections of the Tool Box would have to reflect a broad array of core competencies (e.g., skills in conducting listening sessions, organizing focus groups, leading meetings, group facilitation and recording).

4. Lessons from Katrina
Harvard Kennedy School says Communities must be able to…
Nurture capable local leadership that can drive rapid,
substantive action
Focus on inclusiveness and embrace self-reliance
Achieve the ability to seek out and interface successfully
with outside sources of help (government, foundations,
universities, corporations, NGOs …)
Be able to evolve & adapt as challenges arise by developing
new skills and capacities
5. The Goal for The Community and Recovery
For the City and County of San Francisco to recover
from a major hazard in an expedited manner, as well
as have as many pre-event residents, and
communities, as part of the re-constituted City
populous as possible.
Meanwhile in small town called San Francisco….
6. In SF, the underlying issues…
• Issue is by nature - “negative”
• There is no hard event “window”
• San Francisco has a unique situation
• Unstable social capital environment
• Acquiring complete skill set is difficult
8. Changing the method and identified goals…
• Leverage issues & opportunities which are by
definition “today” oriented
• Identify “defined capabilities” necessary for
participation in the entire event process
• Invest in both on demand and pro-active
capacity building efforts
• Leverage existing assets to gain participation
• Keep the work at grass roots level

• 6 stage process…
1. Convene the Community & establish unifying
vision
2. Resilience Workshops: S.W.O.T analysis
3. Review outputs from workshop
4. Convert outputs into objectives
5. Create a Resilient Action Plan
6. Implement Resilient Action Plan
24. The ECP Resilience Workshop
• The community selects up to three hazards it
would like to explore
– Heat waves, urban fires, earthquakes, pandamics,
etc.
• NEN team assembles subject matter experts
• S.W.O.T analysis used to generate an all hazard
approach
27. How does S.W.O.T support
community’s resilience efforts
• A method to inventory:
– What the community does well & inventory assets
– What the community can improve upon & assets
that make it vulnerable
– Outside forces that help the community
– External factors that hinder the community
28. Examples
• Strength: MPIC brings residents together to
discuss issues
• Weakness: Heat concentration on the east
side
• Opportunity: NEN brings city agencies to the
community to discuss issues
• Threat: The cost of living in The City forces
long-term residents to leave, damaging social
networks
30. How will S.W.O.T be used?
• Compare Weakness to Strengths to learn what
community really needs to address
• Pair Threats and Weakness to determine
severity of needs
• Combine Strengths and Opportunities to
gauge how the community can respond to
needs
31. ECP Resilience Action Plan
• Creates a road map for the community, and its
partners, to follow in perpetuity
• Organizes actions by functional areas of crisis
management (mitigation, preparedness, etc..)
• Defines local governance model
• Offers future participants and partners insight
into the neighborhood’s ethos and values
