  2. What is “Resilience”? Oregon citizens will not only be protected from life-threatening physical harm, but because of risk reduction measures and pre-disaster planning, communities will recover more quickly and with less continuing vulnerability following a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake and tsunami (OSSPAC Definition) BikePortland.org

  3. What is “Resilience”? • The ability of a local community to respond to, and recover from, an incident or emergency • The ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and recover from disruptions • The ability to sustain ecologicalservices, life support systems, biological diversity, and economic vitality. • The degree to which a community is capable of absorbing disturbances and maintain its functions, reorganize, or renew.

  4. Characteristics of Resilient Systems • Flexibility/Diversity • Redundancy/Modularity • Safe failure • Networked systems • Vertical • Horizontal

  5. Resilience Flow I South Coast Recovery Project, OPDR

  8. Resilience of What? • Emergency Services (evacuation, response, recovery) • Citizens, property and infrastructure • Energy and transportation systems • Food and water systems • Social systems • Local Economy • Natural systems Photo Credit” Horning Geosciences; Source: Oregon Resilience Plan

  10. Plan Frameworks and Guidelines • USAID- How Resilient Is Your Coastal Community? (Recommended) • NOAA- Adapting to Climate Change: A Planning Guide for State Coastal Managers • Rural Resilience Guide (Canadian)

  11. What’s in a Resilience Plan? • Local hazard threat/risk assessment • Local vulnerability assessment • Local asset & capacity assessment • Climate change impact assessment • Proposed actions and adaptations Resilience Strategy Institute for Social and Environmental Transition: www.i-s-e-t.org

  12. Common Resilience Plan Themes • Action-oriented • Include soft & hard actions • Policy approaches • Redundant & diverse infrastructure • Make critical systems flexible • Focus on safe to fail, instead of failsafe • Nested institutional networks • Vertical and horizontal alignment • Have a responsive, organized, & involved community, with a local champion

  13. Resilience Assessment Areas • Governance • Society and Economy • Coastal Resource Management • Land Use and Structural Design • Risk Knowledge • Warning and Evacuation • Emergency Response • Disaster Recovery • Utilities • Natural and Cultural Systems

  14. Sample Table of Contents Purpose & Executive Summary Community Profile Existing Activities, Plans & Analysis Resilience Assessment (USAID framework) Recommendations Action Plan Monitoring & Implementation Conclusion

  15. Discussion • What themes should we focus on? • Resilience of what/to what? • What type of plan is this? • Action, strategy, policy?
