Surat (India)

Situation: Most of city's catchment in high variability rainfall zone

Complication: Experienced 23 floods in the last 100 years

Solution:

• Buildings erected on raised platforms or built without ground floors; also electricity lines erected

• City covering early warning system

• City center and industrial corridor protected by dams and closable gates

Kobe (Japan)

Situation: Located at east coast of Japan, where three tectonic plates meet in a seismic active region

Complication: Strong earthquake hit unprepared city in 1995, damaged 450,000 houses and killed 6,400 people

Solution:

• Existing emergency response and relief operation was supplemented by "individual recovery"

• Reconstruction of earthquake-proof infrastructure and integration of a disaster management cycle including an early warning system

Investing in resilience has many benefits

Economic growth and job creation Assurance for investors therefore increased tax base,

business opportunities, economic growth and employment

… some examples …

A legacy of leadership Strengthened trust in and legitimacy of local authority

Social and human gains Protected community assets and cultural heritage

More liveable communities Balanced ecosystems that foster services such as fresh water

and recreation and that reduce pollution

Being prepared. 8

Example energy solutions and Co-benefits

Redundancy Power system design

(grid/generation/operation) for reliable, robust

and redundant power supply under normal

and emergency conditions including

procurement of spare parts.

Robustness Deployment of gas-insulated switchgear,

undergrounding of lines, flood protection

measures and elevating of substations, hy-

drophobic coatings, islanding of supply areas

Diversity and flexibility Develop standards and norms for

distributed generation, wide deployment

of distributed renewable energy capa-

cities, smart metering infrastructure etc.

Coordination

and learning Set up an independent monitoring and

evaluation unit to follow up closely on

the progress of the implementation of

the measures to boost resilience

according to the resilience action plans

Responsiveness Draw up a response-plan: Thresholds and counter-actions,

clear responsibilities within the city administration, data generation

by the automated monitoring system and data distribution

Energy

• Generation and consumption geographically

coincide, transmission losses are reduced

• Reduction in air pollution and greenhouse

gas emissions

• Use monitoring results for strategic planning and

policy-making, even beyond resilience

• Coordination increases the general degree

of efficiency and can help to reduce costs as

information is shared and double work eliminated

Years No Action Partial Investment Full Implementation

Action Plan for the NYC Power grid With cost-benefit

“Do Nothing”

• Anticipated damage to the power grid over 20 years: USD 1-3 bn

“Protection only”

• Investment pays back through reduced damage

• But city still has net losses

“Full Grid Resilience”

• Protection PLUS system resilience, reliability and efficiency

• Net benefits

The implementation roadmap and involvement

of stakeholder groups go hand in hand

Joint definition… …of implementation

framework e.g.

• Available budget,

• Number of measures

• Timescale

Prioritization… …of measures based on

discussion with city

• Relevant parameters can be

CAPEX, OPEX, critical infra-

structure, saving potential, etc.

Guidance… …on the possible implemen-

tation path of the different

measures to increase

resilience

Involvement… …of stakeholders

• Identify multipliers

(such as civil society, private

sector, association, media) and

involve different interests

Raise awareness… …in the community on

questions of climate change

and resilience

• Actively engage the community

to develop plans for resilience

Communicate… …results

• Address the citizen's concerns

with respect to costly infra-

structure investments and

make costs and benefits of

planned measures transparent
