Equitable Resilience Builder
Supports communities in resilience planning with a focus on equity

Increasing resilience to disasters and climate change is an increasing challenge for communities. The Equitable Resilience Builder (ERB) is an application that supports communities in resilience planning with a focus on equity. It engages users in a guided process to inclusively assess local hazards, equity, and the resilience of built, natural, and social environment systems. The ERB is organized into five sections. Each section contains activities such as participatory mapping, storytelling, participatory indicator assessment, and action planning. Results can be used to collaboratively prioritize actions to build community resilience in an equitable way.

The session will explore best practices in project scheduling, community engagement, sustainability, NEPA streamlining, and more.
