Resiliency

Please share your thoughts on Redmond's Resiliency.  

Our working definition:

Ensuring that the community, as a whole, is prepared for, able to adapt to, and can recover effectively from disruptive conditions.

Intent:

• City processes and procedures have the flexibility to pivot and respond quickly to the unpredictable and react/act when needed, including preparing, educating, mitigating, adapting, and managing risk.
• Identifying essential services and vulnerable systems and populations prior to and during emergencies.
• Having multiple paths and backup systems to achieve community goals, with outcomes and vision more important than how that is accomplished.
• Designing and building our community for longevity and flexibility from the start.
• Harnessing information and communications technology in service of the above objectives.
