The NYRD TF Connection to the U.S, National Resilience Dashboard Task Force Initiative

Meta-analysis of Existing Recovery and Resilience Data Sets

Key Recovery and Resilience Indicators

Common Core Data Sets

Modeling the Interdependencies Between Key Indicators

Modeling Actual and Potential Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Cascading Effects

The Use of Dashboards within Open Information Sharing Environments (e.g., Resilience Systems)

Given your demonstrated leadership in resilience and recovery, we would like you to play a part in the Resilience Dashboard initiative as it progresses toward providing direct situational awareness at the community, city, and state levels. Ideally, we would like to work with you to enable vulnerable neighborhoods to identify key gaps and engage solutions that reduce vulnerability, while building resilience.

Please send a comment in the Resilience System to me at MDMcDonald, if you would like to join us for some or all of the New York Resilience Dashboard Task Force Initiative meeting on 4/29.
