Resilience hubs, spaces in trusted locations that work year-round to strengthen communities, can support residents by coordinating resources, programs, and services. These hubs help build social resilience, a critical goal that is growing in importance as socioeconomic challenges and worsening climate hazards impact community wellbeing – especially in already-overburdened places. Resilience hubs can play essential roles in reducing these impacts and build on existing local capacities to adapt to shocks and stresses of all kinds, climate or otherwise. Resilience hubs are most often existing facilities that are retrofitted to be more resilient and better meet community needs. Join this session to learn more about how resilience hub initiatives in Detroit and Hawaii are codesigning new-build resilience hubs in collaboration with community members.
