Open-Source Tool Development
Presenter
Presentation Notes
---How do we develop a tool that supports both top-down and bottom-up approaches to index development? --Criticisms of many indicator studies is they fail to account for stakeholder input, and are over SIMPLIFIED. --What do you do in data poor context?
Integrated Risk Modeling Toolkit: User Data Inputs
OVERALL GOAL To provide city managers a participatory tool to evaluate and monitor resilience to earthquakes To identify strengths and weaknesses in resilience and produce results which are comparable over time EXPECTED OUTCOMES Localized scorecard for LSMC to show adaptability and long-term use To identify gaps in key thematic areas of resilience To foster discussion and communication among decision-makers, planners, and disaster risk reduction specialists Share lessons and transfer knowledge and capacities within LSMC and among Wards
Presenter
Presentation Notes
--Discuss trips leading up to workshop for context specific questions --Discuss Day 1: 20 out of 22 Wards (Captains, ex Captains, Secretary) --Discuss Day 2: Department Heads (Police, Planning, Community Development, Public Works, Finance, Legal, etc.) --Hand held recievers --Both brought together

Key Dimensions of Urban Resilience
Anhorn, Khazai, and Burton 2014
Presenter
Presentation Notes
--Resilience is considered a multi-dimensional concept that is visible at multiple levels of a city environment. --Highly dynamic and therefore needs a multi-stage approach to be assessed. --We have defined six main themes of urban resiliency which can be addressed through the scorecard and are derived from the HFA and the UNISDR ten essentials Legal & Institutional Arrangements Social Capacity Critical Services and Public Infrastructure Resiliency Emergency Preparedness, Response and Recovery Planning, Regulation and Mainstreaming Risk Mitigation Awareness and Advocacy
