Ghost Towns of the USAAsbury Park, New Jersey: Founded as beachfront property during the

1870s and by the 1880s was attracting over half a million people during the summer months.  It's real boom period occurred between the 1920s and the 1960s, however, when it was the Jersey Shore's number one destination.  It's downfall came about due to race riots that began during the 4th of July weekend in 1970.  Visitors never returned. 

Cheshire, Ohio: In 2002, American Electric Power purchased it for about $20 million because of high levels of sulfuric acid emissions produced by it's adjacent power plant.

Hindostan Falls, Indiana: Founded in 1814 and became the Martin Country Seat.  Although it was a prosperous milling town, it was suddenly abandoned 1928 due to a possible Smallpox outbreak.

Holly Springs, North Carolina: Founded during the early 19th century. Most of the town's men died during the battle at Gettysburg.  When the war ended there were several failed attempts to revive the Holly Springs economy.  While it never completely disappeared, it remains a very small but vibrant community.

Stories of ResilienceVerizon, New York, NY: The terrorist attacks of 9/11 knocked out

many communication lines, however Verizon was prepared and able to redirect phone calls to ensure no 9-1-1 call were lost or missed.

Financial Sector: Cashes in 1929, 1987, 2008.

Transportation Sector: Aging Infrastructure, environmental impacts, economic instability, increased demand, safety standards, terrorist attacks…and we still drive, fly, sail, and ride.

Las Vegas, NV: Small town in the desert which no thought would survive. Today it is the largest city in Nevada and thriving from the tourist industries.

San Francisco, CA: Established as a Spanish fort in 1776. Boomed in the 1800 from the Gold Rush. Earthquakes and Fires destroyed three-quarters of the town in 1906.

Atlanta and Savannah, GA: Burned during the Civil War.New Orleans, LA: Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to Superbowl 44

Why Should you Care about Resilience?U.S. National Security Strategy (2010)Strengthen Security and Resilience at HomeAt home, the United States is pursuing a strategy capable of meeting

the full range of threats and hazards to our communities. These threats and hazards include terrorism, natural disasters, large-scale cyber attacks, and pandemics. As we do everything within our power to prevent these dangers, we also recognize that we will not be able to deter or prevent every single threat. That is why we must also enhance our resilience—the ability to adapt to changing conditions and prepare for, withstand, and rapidly recover from disruption. To keep Americans safe and secure at home, we are working to:

Enhance Security at Home: Effectively Manage Emergencies: Empowering Communities to Counter Radicalization Improve Resilience Through Increased Public-Private Partnerships Engage with Communities and Citizens

Too Many DefinitionsResilience is “the ability to adapt to changing conditions and

prepare for, withstand, and rapidly recover from disruption.” National Security Strategy (May 2010)

Resilience is defined as “the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and still retain its basic functions and structure.” Progress Report of the Interagency Climate Change Adaption Task Force (March 2010)

TISP Definition of ResilienceResilience is a capacity to absorb or mitigate the

impact of hazard events while maintaining and restoring critical services.

Optimizing resilience requires: identifying and understanding critical operations and functions, anticipating impacts of multi-hazard events, preparing for and adapting to manage a crisis or disruption as it

unfolds, creating capacity to rapidly return to and/or reconstitute a more

resilient “normal” operation, tolerating loss of some capacity for the duration of the response

effort to a disruption, and partnering through communications, coordination and

collaboration.

Thought Leadership at the Intersection

Form Risk Standardization Working Group (RSWG)Dan Catlett, FEMA, chairing RSWGCoordinate with ANSI standards committee for homeland

security to standardized risk management approach for infrastructure, communities, States and regions

Develop a national resilience unified goal with a set of tenets for risk management and common taxonomy applicable to each CI/KR sector

Evaluate the need for an entity capable of pre-assessing disasters to determine loss of infrastructure and resources and the impact of the loss on scale of the nation, regions, states, and communities

Thought Leadership at the Intersection:Risk Standardization Working Group (RSWG)

Established at the December 2009 (TX) TISP Board Meeting

RSWG Chairman: Dan Catlett, FEMA

Purpose: Support development of a unified national resilience goal through development of a national consensus-standard process for: Developing loss estimations for both natural disasters and homeland

security incidents which will be used consistently across the national resilience partnership to calibrate preparedness, protection, response, recovery and mitigation actions;

Establishing a “design-level” and/or “planning-level” event standard to provide fair and consistent standards for performance expectation and evaluation within the resilience community.

Coordinate with ANSI standards committee for homeland security to standardize the risk management approach for infrastructure as well as communities, States and regions

Update the Regional Disaster Resilience Guide and develop a new Critical Infrastructure Resilience

Guide.

 

Regional Disaster and Critical Infrastructure Resilience Guides

The RDR Guide provides a much-needed strategy to develop the level of preparedness necessary for communities to adequately deal with major disasters in today’s complex and interdependent world.

RDR Guide is a planning tool: Offering key set of definitions Uses common assumptions that underpin regional disaster

resilience Lists 12 categories of typical “needs” gleaned from lessons

learned from previous disasters—natural and man-made Recommends short-term, medium-term, and long-term activities

to address these respective shortfallsThe RDR Guide is used by government, private-sector, and other

organizations with specific missions or vested interests in assuring that the regions in which they reside can withstand the effects of multihazards and respond and recover rapidly when disasters strike.

Regional Disaster and Critical Infrastructure Resilience Guides

Forming Regional Infrastructure and Disaster Resilience (RIDR) Task Force - First RIDR meeting held April 16, conducted three conference calls

Paula Scalingi, Director of the PNWER Center for Regional Disaster Resilience, is chairing the RDR Guide development

Conduct coordinate workshops with partners: ASCE’s Criticality Assessment Working Group and Guiding Principles

for Critical Infrastructure Protection SAME’s RHS Committee Workshops

Define Resilience for National, Regional, State, Community, and Infrastructure perspectives with a correlation to professions and disciplines.

Identify and evaluate web based resource tools that improve the functionality of the RDR Guide

Draft of RDR Guide prepared by the next TISP AIRR Conference for review and discussion (Dec. 2010)

Publication of final product March 2011

Regional Resilience EffortsDams Sector Exercise Series:

o Overall Purpose: Collaborative process to identify, analyze, assess, and enhance regional preparedness and disaster resilience, using multi-jurisdictional discussion-based activities involving a wide array of public & private stakeholders.

o For a given region, a particular scenario serves as the triggering event to analyze impacts, disruptions, critical interdependencies, and stakeholder roles and responsibilities.

o Three major regional efforts conducted in 2008, 2009 & 2010.

Regional Resilience Efforts

o Objective: Develop an integrated regional preparedness and disaster resilience strategy for the for the cities of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland, WA.

o Leads: USACE, DHS, and PNWER.

2009 Dams Sector Exercise Series – Columbia River Basin (DSES-09)

o Triggering event: Severe rain-on-snow conditions leading to significant flooding in the region (dams and levee system).

o Participation: Over 460 attendees representing over

90 organizations.

Regional Resilience Efforts

o Objective: Analysis of short- and long-term regional impacts created by a flooding scenario affecting a large portion of the Green River Valley, leading to severe consequences and significant disruptions in the communities of Auburn, Kent, Renton, and Tukwila in King County, WA.

2010 Dams Sector Exercise Series – Green River Valley (DSES-10)

o Leads: USACE and DHS

Incorporate Resilience in the Whole Infrastructure/Build Criteria.

 

Incorporate Resilience in Whole Infrastructure and Build Criteria

Project formed by the Engineering, Construction, and Architecture Committee (ECAC)

ECAC Chair, Mark Steiner , ACECThe committee is currently refining the project scope following

its research of resilience studies and reportsPurpose: Solidify resiliency concepts and taxonomy that can be

incorporated by standard setters into existing whole infrastructure and design criteria Identify what infrastructure, components, and systems are critical to

the continuation of critical functions and services after a hazard event.  Without that step we continue to look at complete facilities or infrastructure needing to continue to function.   Using the economic model as a key we may lose sight of what is truly critical. 

Work with standards organizations such as NIBS and NFPA to incorporate structural and design concepts which make critical components, systems, and infrastructure more resilient to all hazards
