2024: Multi-Hazard Resilience for Climate Justice
Resilience hubs are community-based facilities that are co-developed and co-designed with community partners to meet residents’ needs, for short-term emergencies like heat waves or power outages, and for long-term needs, like community organizing or food security. Resilience hubs are intended to enhance communications and community resources, reduce pollution, bring forward impacted community partners as decision-makers, and improve quality of life. Cornell researchers will collaborate with existing organizations in a diverse range of communities across New York and with state agencies to operationalize resilience hubs. The researchers seek to pilot resilience hubs, develop collaborative knowledge, and build a successful and replicable model for other New York communities interested in creating their own resilience hubs.
