A More Resilient Georgia: Introducing the Statewide Resilience Assessment!

MP3•Episode home

This month, we’re proud to introduce an in-house effort at the Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems: the Georgia Statewide Resilience Assessment.
Commissioned by The Pew Charitable Trusts and conducted by the Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems at UGA, this report brings together insight from across the sectors, stakeholders and systems of Georgia. The outcome: a review of our hazards and challenges, as well as some opportunities, exemplary projects, and recommendations for creating a more resilient Georgia.
The research process for this report involved holding in-person and virtual discussions across the state to gain a wide array of perspectives. In this episode, we bring you a few of the people who were present at some of those meetings to discuss the project and state resilience planning as a whole.
Featuring:
Kristiane Huber, Officer, US Conservation, The Pew Charitable Trusts
Lynn Abdouni, Associate Research Scientist, Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems
Summer Modelfino, Deputy Chief Resilience Officer, Maryland Office of Resilience
Alan Robertson, AWR Strategic Consulting, Tybee Island, Georgia
And yes, Alan brought a haiku!
Recover, adapt
Always planning for a more
Resilient future
