TT036. Resilient Communities and CitiesResilient Communities and Cities
MODERATOR: Arrietta Chakos, Urban Resilience Strategies;
DESCRIPTION: Developing successful strategies to reduce risk and increase community resilience is a global challenge. Engineering remedies for earthquake and other risks are of little use without on-the-ground implementation. Community leaders, elected officials and responsible decision makers need understandable and useable measures to enact resilience policies and programs. Current thinking about evolving and future risk calls for adaptive action that integrates solutions for reducing multiple hazards while improving resilience capacity. The papers presented in this session examine resilience-building strategies at varying levels of governance and development. These range from the practical lessons learned from the application of disaster scenarios as fundamental tools for resilient community planning to discussion of a national effort on risk reduction and its evolution. The use of improved building code standards, disaster scenario modeling and analysis of the social, economic and sustainability of disaster policies are key components of a resilience primer for communities. These policy levers are made real through recommendations of a comprehensive approach to link residential affordability with resilience implementation. The resilience policy landscape is shifting to incorporate disaster and climate impacts. As communities grapple with these complex planning challenges, promising implementation practices point to a resilient future that is in our grasp.
