  1. City Resilience Strategy: The development process in detailJuly 21, 2014

  2. Goals and Background of 100RC City Resilience Strategy Process • The resilience strategy process is one of 100RC’s primary engagements with member cities. • It was designed in conjunction with global experts and draws from many of the best practices in our member cities. • It is designed to be led by the City’s CRO with diverse stakeholder participation to help orient and excite the entire city around resilience. • It uses the City Resilience Framework to diagnose and understand the City’s resilience and its primary areas of strength and weakness.

  3. Goals and Background of 100RC City Resilience Strategy Process • It is not a comprehensive plan; it is an assessment and prioritization exercise for the city to trigger action, investment and support within city government and across diverse stakeholders. • It identifies areas of strength and weakness, and articulates the city’s priorities for resilience building through specific initiatives. • The strategy is not a static road map; it will continue to be refined and updated as initiatives get implemented and the city’s resilience priorities evolve.

  4. What is the benefit to my city? • The Strategy development process is fundamentally based on raising awareness and getting support for a resilience agenda within the city through: • Stakeholder Engagement and Community Participation • Strategy Communication and Awareness Building • 100RC supports the Strategy process in cities by providing: • Technical Assistance and Capacity Building from global experts (PLATFORM) • Knowledge Sharing and Training through a network of peer cities (NETWORK)

  5. Strategy Development Overview • The resilience strategy process is expected to take 6 - 9 months in each city. • It will be developed in coordination with 100RC Strategy Partners and is comprised of 2 main phases: • The goal of Phase 1 is to identify and aggregate resilience information, resources and partners • Phase 2 involves a deeper dive on several focus areas, developing the diagnostics and assessments necessary to identify actionable initiatives and projects.

  6. Strategy Development Process Overview: Phases I, II and III • I.D Customize city approach and define Scope of Work • I.A Strategy • Launch Phase III: Ongoing Execution and Iteration • II.D Initiatives and Barriers to overcome Phase II: 14-18 weeks Strategy build-out Phase I: 10-12 weeks Establishing the foundation I.B Stakeholder Engagement Plan • II.B Risk and Opportunity Assessment • Implementation steps and public launch • II.C Resilience Priorities and Enablers • II.A Resilience • Diagnostic I.C City Context and Resilience Assessment

  7. Strategy development process in detail: Phases I & II

  8. 100RC’s Principles for high impact resilience strategies

  9. The Strategy building processand 100RC resources 100RC supports: • I.D Customize city approach and define Scope of Work • I.A Strategy • Launch • II.D Initiatives and Barriers to overcome Stakeholder Engagement and Community Participation Strategy Communication and Awareness Building • The time spent on each activity will be time-bound and vary given each city’s context Phase III: Ongoing Execution and Iteration Phase II: 14-18 weeks Strategy build-out Phase I: 10-12 weeks Establishing the foundation I.B Stakeholder Engagement Plan • II.B Risk and Opportunity Assessment • Implementation steps and public launch • II.C Resilience Priorities and Enablers • II.A Resilience • Diagnostic I.C City Context and Resilience Assessment 100RC provides: Technical Assistance and Capacity Building from Platform Knowledge Sharing and Training through Network

  10. Explanation of the eight activities PHASE I I.A • Strategy Launch • Prepare working team, create preliminary workplan, review considerations and constraints surfaced through workshop, application and City Profile I.B • Map and initiate engagement of stakeholder groups and representatives and define preliminary plan for aligning throughout strategy development • Stakeholder Engagement Plan I.C • Overview of city operations, budget, governance, regional issues, etc; identify plans, initiatives, community practices, etc. to align and leverage; Conduct preliminary resilience assessment • City Strategy Context and Preliminary Resilience Assessment • Sign-off on scope of work with consultant; define work plan and methods for conducting activities and aligning with city processes, cycles, stakeholders, etc I.D • Customize Strategy Approach PHASE II II.A • Resilience Diagnostic • Create an index of shocks and stresses; identify gaps in knowledge and data; determine the city’s resilience needs II.B • Define the city’s statement of risk and identify existing and new opportunities to build resilience around the city’s critical assets • Risk and Opportunity Assessment II.C • Define specific resilience priorities with identification of enablers required for implementation • Resilience Priorities and Enablers II.D • Define initiatives for implementation correlating to resilience priorities; identify barriers to overcome and create detailed action plan if possible • Initiatives and Barriers to overcome

  30. Appendix 3Key issues to anticipate in each city (1/2) • WHAT does success look like at the end of the strategy development process? HOW will the city define success? HOW will the CRO be able to determine the city achieved its goals? • WHAT are the methods and metrics for monitoring progress and impact throughout strategy development? HOW does a city know if it is on track or if course correction is required? • WHAT is the output expected from the strategy development? WHAT are the possible format(s) of the strategy work? WHAT are the options for where the final strategy will “sit”? • WHAT are the expected format(s) for interim deliverables? Where do they and other findings go (e.g. city website, platform, 100RC website, etc.)? HOW are they communicated to the public? • WHICH existing initiatives can be quickly and effectively executed to achieve the goals of this resilience strategy in the short term? • WHO approves interim deliverables? WHEN and HOW are approvals secured? • WHICH tasks can be realistically completed by – or in consultation with – Stakeholders? HOW are other stakeholders engaged in the completion of each task? WHAT information is publicly vetted? • WHAT are the responsibilities of the Steering/Resilience committee, working groups, etc.? • WHAT role will the Mayor play? HOW is the Mayor engaged throughout the strategy development process?

  31. Appendix 3Key issues to anticipate in each city (2/2) • HOW to identify necessary data and make data requests given time constraints? HOW to identify and outline the city’s critical assets? HOW to work around the “black hole” implications of these tasks?  • HOW will the CRO and Consultant conduct each task? WHAT are the expectations for subcontracting this work? HOW does CRO integrate consultants already working with city? • WHAT are the local presence requirements of the consultant? HOW often and WHEN does the consultant need to be onsite with the city? • WHAT are the Platform implications for conducting this work? WHAT is the process for adopting and integrating new tools? WHAT is the process for identifying existing tools to scale or retire? • WHAT are the priority sectors for initiatives, plans, studies, assessments, etc? Is a hierarchy placed on multi-sector initiatives and interagency coordination? What about on public private partnerships and/or community engagement? • HOW to assess the performance of initiatives, plans, studies, etc? HOW to incorporate neighborhood scale (geo-spatial) impacts of risks on assets and city’s ability to function? (sample index follows) • Performs very well (for the entire city) • Performs very well for a portion of the city (identify who/where/what is underserved) • Meets the need for the entire city • Meets the need but only for a part of the city (identify who/where/what is underserved) • Meets part of the need for part of the city (identify who/where/what is underserved) • Fails to meet need but aware of the importance of the issue • Fails to meet need and minimal understanding of the importance of the issue
