FRI-C04: Building Capacity with Frontline Communities: Resilience Hubs for All

Friday, October 10, 2025
2:00 PM – 3:15 PM CT
1.25 PDH, LA CES/HSW

Resilience hubs are community-serving facilities tailored to strengthen daily relationships between neighbors and capacity to recover after emergencies. Hubs can also catalyze city-wide resilience and sustainability. This panel will share lessons learned designing a wide variety of resilience hubs with community-based organizations in the U.S., including Puerto Rico.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Build an appreciation for the relevance of community-based organizations defining design priorities in the context of climate change.
  • Share the value of resilience hubs—economically, socially, and environmentally—across scales of neighborhood, city, and region.
  • Apply processes that tailor public engagement strategies to the needs and capacity of each community organization.
  • Consider the flexibility of resilience hubs and how they might apply in a variety of unique situations and locations.
