The document discusses community planning and capacity building for disaster recovery. It focuses on supporting local governments and determining what is needed to be successful in adapting after a disaster. Key factors in community resilience include leadership, planning, community engagement, and recovery management. The Community Planning and Capacity Building Recovery Support Function coordinates support from federal and non-federal groups to help local governments improve their planning, coordination, and public information capabilities for disaster recovery. Failure to adapt can result from lack of leadership, direction, coordination, and community involvement.

1. The document discusses reimagining risk governance in an increasingly uncertain world using the "uncertainty continuum" model. It presents the uncertainty continuum as ranging from measurable risks where probabilities can be estimated, to unmeasurable risks where likelihoods cannot be confidently estimated.
2. Along the continuum are three levels of decision-making - preservation focused on compliance, performance focused on short-term objectives, and strategic focused on long-term value creation. The appropriate level of decision-making depends on an organization's position along the uncertainty continuum.
3. Fundamental blocks of risk governance are discussed including purpose, alignment, communication, and transparency. Techniques like crowdsourcing, automation, and visualization are presented for reimag
1. Up to 80% of damage from major disasters is to housing infrastructure, making reconstruction an important task that requires a long-term effort.
2. Successful reconstruction depends on accurately assessing damage and establishing the right policies. It also requires addressing pre-existing issues like informal land tenure, poor land governance, and unequal land rights.
3. Owner-driven reconstruction empowers homeowners but requires training, updated building codes, price controls, and financial assistance in installments linked to quality. Resettlement rarely succeeds and should only be considered as a last resort.
This document provides an introductory guide for directors on climate risk governance. It begins with an overview of key climate change concepts, including the physical and economic risks posed by climate change and how it impacts most industries. It then discusses how directors can start their board's climate change journey by understanding their duties, assessing risks and opportunities, and examining governance structures and stakeholder expectations. The guide provides questions for boards to consider around climate governance, strategy, and risk oversight. It also reviews litigation risks and regulatory expectations for companies to address climate change.
The document discusses key megatrends and risks that will require strategic responses from organizations, including more sustainable resource use, changing demographics, increased mobility and connectivity. It emphasizes that sustainability thinking can help address complex problems by mainstreaming issues like corporate social responsibility and risk management. The author argues that organizations need to take accountability for the future by controlling outcomes through integrated leadership and governance focused on creating long-term intergenerational value across economic, social and environmental dimensions. Sustainability must inform strategic context and organizations require rigorous top-down approaches to build sustainability into core business.

It also covers objectives for preparedness, measures of effectiveness, risk management models, and principles of community disaster education including focusing on the community and using clear, consistent messaging.
1. Collective impact is a structured approach to addressing complex social problems that involves multiple organizations and sectors working together toward a common agenda, shared measurement, and mutually reinforcing activities.
2. It has five key elements: a common agenda, shared measurement, mutually reinforcing activities, continuous communication, and a backbone organization.
3. Collective impact has been applied successfully to issues like education, health, economic development, and more. It requires shifts in mindsets from technical solutions to adaptive solutions and a focus on relationships in addition to evidence.
The document discusses the relationship between development, quality of life, and disaster risk reduction. It states that development aims to improve quality of life and dignity over time. However, hard-won development can be hampered by disasters, which most severely impact vulnerable community members. To build resilience, development and disaster risk reduction programs must focus on vulnerability reduction and involve multiple stakeholders through participatory planning.
Opportunity zones and disaster recovery presentationRichard Gibbens
This document discusses how opportunity zones can be used to improve community resilience. It notes that underserved communities are most at risk from disruptions and resilience building should be a focus of opportunity zone investments. The Global Resilience Institute's assessment system evaluates critical infrastructure, social systems, and economic factors to help communities attract investments that lift up low-income neighborhoods and improve resilience. The system aims to overcome challenges like lack of oversight, gentrification, and ensuring social impacts by empowering communities to assess how proposals will better lives and bolster economic opportunities through resilience.

Climate Change, Social Protection & Insuranceessp2
Michael Carter from the University of California, Davis discusses using integrated social protection schemes with partial insurance subsidies to reduce vulnerability to climate change. Simulations show insurance subsidies lead to a more even draw on budgets and cheaper costs compared to just cash transfers. Insurance also leads to growth impacts by allowing asset transfers. However, if climate change risks become too severe, even targeted programs may lose efficacy and pricing risk becomes problematic, raising the need for public reinsurance solutions.
Australia will face significant human and economic costs because its infrastructure is poorly equipped to handle more frequent extreme weather events and other consequences of climate change.
A new report by The Climate Institute, Coming Ready or Not: Managing climate risks to Australia’s infrastructure, gathers research on the physical impacts and consequences of climate change on major infrastructure across the property, electricity, road and rail and finance sectors. It examines the preparedness of businesses and governments to manage these risks and the steps needed to improve Australia’s climate readiness.

Factors that affect resilience include personal attributes such as being calm and optimistic, strong family and social relationships that provide support during difficult times, and external community and environmental conditions. Resilience is defined as the ability to recover from trauma or respond to adversity. Personal traits, relationships, and external support systems are important determinants of an individual's resilience.
The document discusses the relationship between development and disaster risk reduction. It explains that development can both increase and decrease vulnerability to disasters, and that disasters can either provide opportunities for development or set back development. It advocates for a people-centered approach to development that reduces vulnerability through building resilience, livelihoods, and local capacities. Key strategies discussed include prioritizing adaptation efforts, integrating adaptation into development plans, strengthening local capacities, and leveraging disaster prevention to promote community-based adaptation.
Building resilience to_recurrent_crisis___policy_and_program_guidanceMalik Khalid Mehmood
USAID is releasing new policy and program guidance to build resilience to recurrent crisis in vulnerable areas. The guidance aims to reduce chronic vulnerability and promote inclusive growth through integrated humanitarian and development approaches. Key goals are to increase adaptive capacity, improve risk management, and improve social and economic conditions for vulnerable people. USAID will emphasize empowering women and reducing gender gaps. Building resilience also requires effective governance. The guidance outlines an agenda for operational changes at USAID to achieve these goals through joint analysis, coordinated planning, coordinated project design and procurement, and a robust learning agenda.
During the 2017 National Regional Transportation Conference, Justin Fazzari shared information about the U.S. Economic Development Administration's work in economic resilience.
This document provides information about a project submitted by Lenin Jeyakumar, a student at Vivek College of Commerce in Mumbai, India. The project is about disaster management and was submitted in 2015-2016 for a Master's in Commerce program. It includes a title page, certificate from the project guide, a declaration by the student, acknowledgements, an index of topics, and the beginning of the first chapter which provides an introduction to strategic management and disaster management.
The document discusses organizational resilience and provides definitions from various standards organizations. It notes that organizational resilience means the ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and adapt to changes and disruptions. Developing organizational resilience requires taking a strategic approach that integrates existing risk management, business continuity planning, and other disciplines. It also requires understanding internal operations as well as external dependencies and factors. Building resilience is an ongoing process rather than a single activity, and involves continually assessing vulnerabilities and improving adaptive capacity.
The document outlines Alaska's Long-Term Disaster Recovery Framework. The framework is intended to promote effective long-term disaster recovery and support local governments following a disaster. It defines a catastrophic event and establishes Recovery Coordination Groups to coordinate key functional areas of assistance. The framework aims to improve recovery support, expedite recovery efforts, and ensure recovery leads to more resilient communities. It provides guidance on initial assessments after a disaster to determine if long-term recovery efforts are warranted.
The document discusses recovery from emergencies and disasters from an emergency management perspective. It defines recovery as putting the pieces back together after an incident, with the goal of reducing future impacts through improved preparation and resilience. Recovery is about more than just saving lives and property - it is also about rebuilding communities and local economies. Key challenges of recovery mentioned include funding, paying for rebuilding of infrastructure and businesses, and who does the long-term recovery work.

An Introduction to Resilience for Humanitarian WorkersShashanka Saadi
This presentation is a simple compilation of Resilience definitions, approach to understand resilience and indicators use to identify resilience. This will be helpful for humanitarian workers to get a overview of the resilience concept quickly. A list of reference given in the last slide for further reading.
Economic development is critical for local governments responding to emergencies. Disasters can have direct and indirect economic impacts on communities. Effective economic recovery involves business and industry representatives in decision making, returns businesses to activity early, and coordinates recovery programs to support the economic structure. Local governments should understand their community's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to assess industry resilience and develop an economic recovery plan. Keeping industry informed and implementing buy local campaigns can help economic recovery.
Building Resilience to Recurrent Crisis USAID POLICY AND PROGRAM GUIDANCE Dr Lendy Spires
I am pleased to present USAID’s first-ever policy and program guidance on building resilience to recurrent crisis. Drawn from decades of experience providing humanitarian relief and development assistance, this guidance aims to reduce chronic vulner- ability and promote more inclusive growth in areas of recurrent crisis. Ultimately, we seek to save and improve lives and decrease the need for repeated infusions of humanitarian assistance in these areas. The importance and urgency of this work has been made clear over the past year. In 2011, the worst drought in 60 years plunged 13.3 million people into crisis in the Horn of Africa. Only a few months later, another crisis emerged in the Sahel, where millions of people have suffered from the devastating impacts of drought, conflict, and other pressures.The widespread need seen in these two regions reflects similar difficulties facing communities across the globe; in far too many places, families often rely on humanitarian assistance, year after year, just to survive. In response to these emergencies, the international community provides significant levels of lifesaving relief, largely concentrated in just a few countries. Over the last decade, approximately US $90 billion was spent by international donors in just nine coun- tries, accounting for almost 50 percent of all humanitarian assistance during this period. During the same time, three-quarters of USAID humanitarian assistance was spent in just 10 countries. Global trend lines and projections show clear and continuing growth in humanitarian need in certain regions, and climate change threatens to exacerbate both the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and undercut important development gains. We can do better.That’s why USAID is working with committed and accountable governments and international partners to build resilient societies even while saving lives in times of crisis

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

2. Resilience: The ability of a region or
community to anticipate, withstand, and bounce
back from shocks and disruptions, including:
Natural disasters or hazards
Climate change impacts
The closure of a large employer
The decline of an important industry
Changes in the workforce
3. “Another way of looking at resilience is the ability not only to
bounce back but also to “bounce forward” - to recover and at
the same time to enhance the capacities of the community or
organization to better withstand future stresses.”
- Urban Land Institute – After Sandy
Not Just Bouncing Back…Bouncing Forward
9. What Do the CEDS Content Guidelines Say?
Economic resilience becomes inclusive of three primary attributes: the
ability to recover quickly from a shock, the ability to withstand a
shock, and the ability to avoid the shock altogether.
Steady-state initiatives tend to be long-term efforts that seek to
bolster the community or region’s ability to withstand or avoid a
shock.
Responsive initiatives can include establishing capabilities for the
economic development organization to be responsive to the region’s
recovery needs following an incident.

10. What Do the CEDS Content Guidelines Say?
The two-pronged approach to resilience noted above can be
included in the CEDS as a separate section. However, resilience
could also be addressed by weaving the concept throughout the
document.
Regardless of how resilience is included in the CEDS, it is critical for
regions to identify vulnerabilities and, where possible, bolster the
capacities that may lead to economic resilience as part of regional
planning efforts.
