Impact/Purpose:
The Equitable Resilience Builder is a resource to help communities enhance their resilience to disasters, homeland security incidents, and climate change in ways that center equity and inclusion. It contains a set of activities for identifying key hazards and social vulnerabilities in a community; inclusively assessing the resilience of a community's social, built, and natural environment systems; and prioritizing actions for strengthening resilience in an equitable way. It is intended for use by local resilience planners to help them listen to community members, engage them in resilience planning, and foster the networks and relationships that underlie community resilience. The purpose of this slide deck is to train people in how to use ERB, helping EPA staff and their federal, state, local, territorial, and Tribal partners in using this resource.
Description:
This is a slide deck presentation to be used in training prospective users on how to use the Equitable Resilience Builder (ERB) tool. The training objectives include familiarizing participants with the ERB tool and its approach to equitable resilience planning, helping participants feel comfortable getting started with using the tool, and provide participants with practice using activities in the tool and apply them to ongoing work.
