Managing Urban Risks in Europe: Implementation of the City Disaster Resilience Scorecard (U-SCORE) Submitted by: and the: Municipality of Amadora, Portugal Stoke-on-Trent City Council, United Kingdom Salford City Council, United Kingdom City of Jönköping, Sweden City of Arvika, Sweden in cooperation with the UK Cabinet office

Objectives of the project Within the framework of the Making Cities Resilient Campaign, UNISDR is currently working with the private sector (IBM and AECOM) to develop a tool that not only measures cities’ resilience more in-depth, but also integrates disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation and provides cities with concrete action plans. The UNISDR Disaster Resilience Scorecard is in the final stages of its development and in need for testing by local governments. The U-SCORE project would support five cities in conducting the UNISDR Disaster Resilience Scorecard. Besides the benefits that this provides to the cities, the Scorecard testing will provide recommendations for the tool itself. Furthermore, the pilot cities will become "master users" of the Scorecard and able share their experiences and expertise. Other European cities that desire to assess their disaster resilience can build on the outcome of this project through city-to-city exchanges.

Actions and means involved Through the City Resilience Scorecard, each municipality will have an analysis of their disaster resilience capacity and a prototype resilience action plan. The cities will get support from their national civil protection authorities, UNISDR and from external technical experts, e.g. IBM/AECOM. Three European workshops will enable exchanges on the topics of disaster resilience and the Scorecard. The workshops will involve the municipal Scorecard coordinators, the national civil protection agencies and UNISDR. The means involved mainly consist in staff costs, technical support and travel costs.

Expected results 1. Each municipality involved in the project will have completed the City Disaster Resilience Scorecard. 2. Each municipality involved will produce a prototype disaster resilience action plan that includes multiple solutions and options that are cost effective and implementable. 3. Each municipality will provide feedback on improvements of the Scorecard. 4. A European learning and exchange opportunity between risk reduction experts is started. 5. Increased engagement and knowledge transfer to other cities/municipalities in Europe and worldwide.
