Disaster Resilience in Action

Create a framework for improving regional resilience to natural hazards through data-driven risk assessment, early warning, and strategic asset management. Compare three program types: municipal early-warning systems funded publicly, private-sector risk-sharing platforms, and mixed public-private collaboratives with insurance incentives. For each, define decision rights, data standards, investment priorities, and performance indicators. Include a tabletop exercise scenario illustrating coordination between agencies, utilities, and communities, and a plan to scale successful pilots into long-term infrastructure budgets.
