1 Resilience 10 Essentials Scorecard

2 Reasons to Focus on Global Cities By 2050 over 70% of the World s population will live in Cities a substantial increase from 1913 when 10% of the global population lived in Cities Loss of life have decreased from Natural Disasters but.capital losses have exceeded $2.5 T since 2000 a staggering $16.2M per hour since 1/1/2000! Page 2

3 Reasons to Focus on Global Cities Economic losses from disasters are out of control and can only be reduced with collaboration with the private sector Ban Ki-Moon Secretary General of the United Nations Page 3

4 Hyogo Framework For Action Established in 2005 with 168 UN Member States following the Indian Ocean Tsunami UN International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction formed Which gave rise to: Global Assessment Report Biannual issue Making My City Resilient Campaign in 2010 Private Sector Advisory Group in 2011 Page 4

5 World Disaster Reduction Campaign Making Cities Resilient: My City is Getting Ready! Objective Achieve resilient, sustainable urban communities through actions taken by local governments to reduce disaster risk: Know More Invest Wisely Build More Safely Page 5

6 Campaign Wildfire Approach: Self motivating self measuring 2195 (plus) Participating Cities from 95 countries seeking and committed to building resilience 40 Role Model Cities willing to share knowledge with others 11 Champions (Mayors and Governors committed to convince and mentor others) 60 (plus) Partners and Advocates supporting cities resilience actions Page 6

7 Tools to Help Cities Implement Disaster Risk Reduction Actions The Ten Essentials 1. Organization and Coordination 2. Assign a Budget 3. Prepare Risk Assessments 4. Critical Infrastructure That Reduces Risk 5. Safety of All Schools and Health Facilities 6. Realistic, Risk compliant Building Regulations and Land Use Planning Principles 7. Education Programs and Training 8. Protect Ecosystems and Natural Buffers 9. Early Warning Systems and Emergency Management 10. Needs of Affected Population Are Placed at The Center of Reconstruction Page 7

8 The Resilience Scorecard Based on UN ISDR s Ten Essentials of disaster management. Local Government Self Assessment Tool (LGSAT) for awareness building 41 questions Resilience Scorecard is a quantitative tool to construct multiyear blue print for actions to improve preparedness. 85 individual assessments, each scored 5 (best practice) to 0 (worst practice). Deliberately pitched as a counsel of perfection. NO city today would get full marks - or come close. The intent is to help cities understand all elements of resilience, frame a multi-year plan, optimize CAPEX and track progress. Core Intellectual Property (the scorecard content) is placed in the public domain Page 8

9 Requirements for Completing the Scorecard As a minimum, a set of scenarios describing most probable and worst case hazards the scorecard assesses responses to these scenarios. All agencies that affect a city s resilience will supply information Scorecard in process of being beta tested : Pre-work by City to assemble key background information Conduct interviews with key figures in each participating agency/stakeholder. Smaller cities or those with a more unitary governance structure should be faster. Page 9

11 In Summary - Resilience Has To Address the System of Systems that Make up a City For Example: Multiple connections and interactions: Causal Resources Data Because each system will have different owners and stakeholders, resilience is a multi-organizational endeavor. Must consider social cohesion as well to effectively communicate and act. Page 11

12 In Summary - If We Could Measure Resilience Across all of The Systems involved. The city could: Identify exposures and vulnerabilities in the population, infrastructure, economy and environment. Track citizens awareness of hazards and required responses. Target investment of money and effort, and track progress over time. Justify that investment to the public and to taxpayers. Integrate the contributions of the multiple agencies and stakeholders involved. Model the impact of land use or infrastructure decisions on future resilience. Page 12

13 In Summary - Achieving Resilience is a Process, Spanning Multiple Activities and Time-scales Page 13

14 In Summary - If We Could Measure Resilience Across All of the Systems Involved Citizens could: Understand the risks they face. Understand their role in achieving a level of resilience. Private sector companies could: Assess risks to their operations and supply chains Understand where they need to engage with cities to protect their operations so helping to safeguard the local economy. Insurers could, if the scorecard was audited: Better assess risk and adjust premiums for highly resilient cities Or perhaps, write policies where none exist today. Page 14
