• This innovative partnership will allow cities to know what is at risk, how it needs to improve, who will fix it, and where the funds will come from, all which allows them to rebound more quickly.

The Market is Better Understanding and Responding to City Resilience Needs

• Cities need financial plans in place to protect critical assets against shocks before they occur.

• Partners Swiss Re and Veolia are piloting their work together in New Orleans

Member cities are using city solutions offerings to advance their strategy development

BERKELEY – RMS/MWH• The city wanted to better understand how to ensure

buildings that will be used as shelters will still be useful after an earthquake.

• An analysis by RMS demonstrated that it is significantly more cost-effective to invest in seismic upgrades than it is to rebuild or repair structures after an earthquake.

• The CRO was able to take the results of the study, which provided a quantitative analysis of costs of upgrades of the structures, to council and argue forfunding to make these upgrades and push the project forward.

• MWH helped the city better model and understand its stormwater management challenges and prioritize multi-benefit interventions, such as green infrastructure.
