Rating Building Performance in Natural Disasters

[BizFed @BizFed]

BIG NEWS: BizFed turned out in full force to celebrate the signing of the partnership agreement between @SBAgov and @USResiliency. It cements collaboration on the #ResilienceAdvantage program (sponsored by BizFed member @OptimumSeismic) aimed at boosting disaster resiliency.

[USResiliencyCouncil @USResiliency]

@AsmRodriguez52 Thank you Assemblymember Rodriguez @AsmRodriguez52 for you leadership in shepherding this bill successfully through the legislature. It will protect tens of thousands of Californians from harm in future earthquakes.

I was honored to be in the company of SBA Administrator Isabella Guzman and LA Area Chamber CEO Maria Salinas as we created a partnership to promote resilience for small businesses statewide.

[L.A. Area Chamber @LAAreaChamber]

Thank you to @sbagov Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman and @USResiliency Executive Director Evan Reis for visiting the Chamber today to announce the creation of the SBA-USRC partnership to promote resiliency for small businesses in California.

Resiliency is way bigger than just building safety DURING an extreme natural event. USRC is proud to work with business leaders and get them information they need to understand and get ready for what comes AFTER.

[Isabel Casillas Guzman @SBAIsabel]

Building resilient small businesses is vital to our communities and economy. That’s why @SBAgov and @USResiliency have partnered together to provide resources on disaster mitigation and resiliency plans for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Longtime USRC member @Degenkolb can be proud of the work its engineers do after major quakes around the world to advance understanding of structural systems *and* community impacts and solutions.

[USResiliencyCouncil @USResiliency]

Each Making Resilience Cool podcast explores a unique aspect of WHY & HOW to pursue disaster resilience. In #7, hear Daniel Zepeda’s perspective on why engineers need to visit earthquake sites with a mind to the whole community not just structural systems. https://t.co/ArWkdPT7VQ

[USResiliencyCouncil @USResiliency]

How do earthquakes affect embodied carbon? What's a Green Janitor? In our 8th Making Resilience Cool #podcast, Ben Stapleton of @USGBCLA helps host Audrey Luu @CalPolyARCE connect the dots between #sustainablity and #resilience. Have a listen today! https://t.co/1SmCCP5tno

It's an 'Affordable housing emergency’ now, what about after a major quake? S.F. doesn’t have enough units for seniors, its fast-growing, vulnerable group https://t.co/m0o5oinG5B via @sfchronicle
