CESAJ Contact, 904-232-1383 Melissa.J.Reynolds@usace.army.mil 08 DEC 16 Quick poll: how many of you, by a show of hands, remember receiving the 2016 USACE Resilience Initiative Roadmap back in May? Who of those read it? It was sent to everyone at once, so please let me know if you didn’t get it, we can get it to you. --- Connection to other initiatives and developments Risk / Dam & Levee Safety Climate Sustainability We’re sensitive to ‘initiative fatigue’ and taking care to ensure that the efforts are aligned, work in concert, and don’t overly draw on the same resources. ---- Briefly, why are we doing this Resilience Initiative? USACE is a learning organizations A focus as the top and with our federal partners to increase resilience From the grassroots - communities in which we live and work are seeking ways to more resilient and get out of negative repetitive cycles. Today’s Purpose: Briefly cover resilience in its current context Present on the USACE Resilience Initiative for your situational awareness What’s ahead Alignment with other initiatives Discussion Outline (for info) Resilience in its current context Drivers for the USACE Resilience Initiative USACE Principles of Resilience Leadership The 2016 URI Roadmap Strategies Areas of application Teams of Teams Timeline US Army Corps of Engineers BUILDING STRONG®

USACE Principles of Resilience

Qualities of Resilience Shifts in thinking related to resilience Proactive vs. Reactive approaches Sustainable vs. Sacrificial features Adaptive vs. Static infrastructure Risk-Informed vs. Deterministic design criteria System-wide vs. Component-based considerations Diverse vs. ‘robust-yet-fragile’ systems & solutions Resilience Ideals Collaborative Diverse Holistic Inclusive Multi-beneficial Proactive

Spheres of Resilience Community Resilience System Resilience Project Community Resilience System Resilience Project Resilience When we talk about resilience, what scale are we thinking about it in? Represented by the small circles with the castles or other icon. There’s the project resilience; Corps projects and their components, or other people’s projects, structures, facilities, etc. Then there is system resilience, which truly integrated projects that comprise various system resilience, represented by the blue ellipses There are systems comprised of entirely Corps projects, some with Corps and others’ projects, and, of course, systems that don’t have any Corps contributions These systems all make up the community, which in this context, can be described as a system of systems. Further, the community resilience is self-defined: it could be a neighborhood, or it could be a city the size of New York – that’s up to the community to define What’s most important to not lose sight of is the fact that we are doing all of this for people: whether it’s transportation, jobs for the economy, or churches – it’s all about people. It’s not design and construction for its sake – it’s for the communities in which we live & work.

Types of Resilience Disaster Personal Engineering Economic Ecological …to All Hazards Contribution from USACE changes with community needs Disaster Personal Engineering Economic Ecological Critical Infrastructure Response to Climate Change Social Let’s talk types of resilience Firstly, when we talk about ‘resilience’ in its larger context, it’s inclusive and we mean all types of resilience These types are related to all hazards - natural, man-made, economic, social, etc. I like to use this slide to show that ‘big R’ Resilience can be thought of as a circle, and the role the Corps plays in ‘Resilience” is an arc on that circle. The arc will be larger or smaller depending on the role we have in the community and will relate to various types of resilience If there’s a coastal community with an installation, regulatory, a port that we have projects at then, then our resilience arc might be very large. If it’s a small community without an installation, water or drought challenges, then maybe our arc is very small to non-existent. I think it’s helpful to visualize the scalar nature of our contribution Environmental Cyber

USACE Resilience Strategies Strategy 1: Evolve Standards & Criteria Policy and guidance to require risk-informed design integrated across disciplines for the appropriate level of resilience Greater accounting for uncertainty & providing for adaptive capacity Strategy 2: Support Community Resilience Internally identifying how each mission area in USACE can best support community resilience Work collaboratively (federal, state, regional, community, and other partnerships) Strategy 3 – Focus on Priority Areas Such as: Catalog of USACE Resilience Efforts Provide Nonstructural Flood Risk Reduction Assistance Identify/Develop Tools to Assess Resilience Develop Resilience Considerations for Military Installations Develop Resilience Considerations in Coastal Areas Develop Resilience Considerations for Inland Areas Clarify Resilience in the USACE CW Planning Process Support Drought Contingency Efforts Develop in conjunction with CW Sustainability and other initiatives
