Resilience Workshop Series - Managing Risk and Uncertainty, February 12, 1:30-3 pm, Los Angeles, CA
Event Description
Introduction to Resilience Series: Managing Risk and Uncertainty
This series of 90-minute workshops are designed to introduce you to what resilience is and how it applies to your life at home and at work. You can join the series at any time.
We know that it will be different from the past. As disasters increase worldwide due to climate change and other forces, learn how to make informed plans and decisions that lead to a more resilient future. Building resilience means planning for change in ways that make you better off now. By leveraging and linking the work organizations are already doing on sustainability, risk management, emergency preparedness and business continuity, you can create new opportunities that improve the public good and the bottom line. Learn ways to bust silos and unleash the potential of buildings, organizations, and communities so they can adapt and thrive regardless of disruptions. This interactive session based on real world examples will provide participants with a framework for evaluating risk and making smart decisions in the face of change.
Heather Rosenberg is a USGBC Ginsberg Fellow and leader of Building Resilience-LA, a USGBC-LA program that brings resilience to the building scale.
