Nice piece on the #resilience dividend by @mrMattSimon in @WIRED (although he doesn't use that term specifically) wired.com/story/if-you-dont-… @CitiesCatalyst

If You Don’t Already Live in a Sponge City, You Will Soon

Less pavement and more green spaces help absorb water instead of funneling it all away—a win-win for people and urban ecosystems.

I have a few nits to pick with this piece from @BPC_Bipartistan but overall it's a great resource on our (collective) progress to institutionalize #resilience in the US. @CitiesCatalyst @RCitiesNetwork @rebuildbydesign bipartisanpolicy.org/blog/le…

Chief Resilience Offices Could Enhance Climate Preparedness

Climate Preparedness is critical to protect the health, safety, housing, and economic vitality of communities across the nation.

With CA's power grid straining during the heat wave I recommend @KatherineBlunt' s amazing new book about PG&E. 1/2 latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

Review: The road to California's energy disaster: A new history of PG&E paints a bleak picture

Katherine Blunt’s “California Burning: The Fall of Pacific Gas and Electric — and What It Means for America’s Power Grid” is an urgent call to action.

2/2 -- Three thoughts: 1. A shocking tale of operational risk (mis) management 2. With climate change, we need to be more imaginative about our futures, the past will not predict the future 3. Utilities have a hard but critical role to play in creating more resilient futures
