CRC

Community Resilience Center

CRC

• Coordinate open citizen labs and centers to support actionable leadership.
• Build relationships between private organizations, civilians and government.
• Fortify our future society by designing infrastructure for extreme events.

Prepare for Action!

• Anticipate and develop plans for most likely and worst case scenarios.
• Detect emerging events and provide real-time insight to make decisions.
• Inform key individuals with the critical knowledge to take action.

Build Core Tools

• Intuitive data visualization tools to aid situational awareness.
• Advanced communications systems to facilitate group interaction.
• Complete end-to-end solutions that solve the real needs of the people.

Integrate the Best Solutions

• Earthquake sensors (smartphone accelerometer) to auto open firehouse doors (1-2min).
• Weather data from regional soft-edge mesh and online (when available).
• Economic solutions for housing, green energy, agriculture, communication and medicine.
• Scraping web news and social media to build real-time visualizations of live events.
• Cartography for remote regions and emergency management.
• Geolocation (IoT, mobile, drone, smart-city) to sense, detect, inform and coordinate.
• Text Mining, Text<->Voice, natural language processing, augmented human intelligence.
• Open Data and Science for sharing intelligence.
• Data Redundancy & Security (SSL, SSH, Blockchaing...) with domain specific user rights.
• Resilient Communications: adhoc P2P, mesh with Soft-Edge, radio, sat, fiber.

Use what Works!

• Conventional wisdom and experience is gold.
• People gather in person and communicate remotely (telecom, internet, radio...).
• Megaphones on vehicles (auto, drone, etc.) work!
• Evacuation plans on paper.
• Critical infrastructure map on hand with contacts.
• Solutions for when comms are overwhelmed and/or fail (cell, radio, sat, mesh-net..).

Key Considerations:

• Social Cohesion
• Critical Infrastructure
• Pillars (Jobs, Health, Food, Shelter, Justice, Communication, Education).

Chronic Pressures:

• Housing
• Employment
• Immigration

Acute Events:

• Earthquake
• Fire
• Flood
• Terrorism
• Accidents
