Measuring Resilience and Creating a Culture of Preparedness

Sauder School of Business; University of British Columbia. Risk Management Services; University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

● The scope of the project is to create a culture of resilience as well as arrive at the performance matrix to measure it. This culture shall help UBC as well as City of Vancouver to reduce the impact from acute shocks and be more resilient ● The methodology involves identifying current state of resilience via survey (online as well as offline, in different language). The survey shall be conducted by people amongst the community of people, who are well knit via social circles, such as, clubs ● Depending on the results of the survey, next steps are decided and another survey is conducted to measure implementation of the same. Thus, it is an iterative process, with small progress at each step, ultimately reaching the ideal state of urban resilience ● The recommendations are centred around two broad themes –organization to community and community to community. The latter forms a part of social cohesion and for better implementation, both of the themes need to be implemented together ● Parallels can be drawn between City of Vancouver as well as UBC, however, the scope has been presently focussed on using UBC as a pilot, and eventually rolling to the city.
