Improving resilience and preparedness to extreme weather events

How can we improve resilience and preparedness to extreme weather events in our community?

Resilience and preparedness are important when exposed to extreme weather events.

Challenge description

Improving climate resilience involves assessing how climate change will create new, or alter current, climate-related risks, and taking steps to better cope with these risks. Local resilience efforts may include individual residents, neighborhoods, businesses, city planners and first responders – to cope with both chronic stresses (such as increasing temperatures) and acute shocks (such as extreme weather events).

Challenge vision

Solutions may focus on:

  • upgrading transportation systems, improving neighborhood cohesion, changing transit routes
  • updating building codes and using new materials
  • creating innovative solutions for sustainable power systems
  • upgrading supply and distribution chains
  • make better use of existing, public and private distributed sensor platforms, exposing them to those interested
