In this episode of the Urban Exchange Podcast, hosts Lauren Sorkin and Paul Wilson dive deep into the critical issue of extreme heat with Lenio Myrivili, Global Chief Heat Officer for UN-Habitat and the Atlantic Council. The conversation explores how rising temperatures are transforming urban experiences across the globe, from Athens to London, and the profound challenges cities face in managing increasingly intense heat waves. Myrivili shares her journey from being Athens' Chief Resilience Officer to her current global role, highlighting the dramatic transformation of urban heat challenges over the past decade. She reveals shocking statistics about global temperatures, including how 70 large cities already experience over 150 days per year of temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius. The podcast also delves into the physiological impacts of extreme heat, explaining how prolonged high temperatures can cause significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. Myrivili emphasises that heat's impact is deeply localised, making it challenging to create universal measurement standards. A key theme is the importance of nature-based solutions, particularly urban trees and green spaces, which can help mitigate heat island effects. The discussion also touches on technological approaches like digital twins, with Myrivili advocating for focused, practical applications rather than comprehensive data collection. The episode highlights the growing recognition of cities' roles in addressing climate challenges, with urban leaders increasingly gaining platforms to share their experiences and solutions at global forums. Tune in for a sobering yet hopeful conversation, and understand how cities are confronting one of the most pressing climate challenges of our time, making this a must-listen for anyone interested in urban resilience and climate adaptation.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here In this episode of the Auto Supply Chain Prophets podcast, Beth Crowley, Chief Resilience Officer and president of the Crowley Group, joins hosts Terry Onica and Jan Griffiths to dive into the topic of resiliency and its significance in today's auto supply chain.Beth starts by defining resilience, explaining that it's more than just an industry term; it's the ability of organizations and supply chains to adapt and bounce back from challenges. The pandemic has heightened the urgency for companies to adopt resilient practices, and the data suggests that major disruptions are becoming more frequent. That's why Beth suggests that resilience should be woven into the culture, with everyone—from the front lines to the C-suite—playing a part in strengthening the supply chain.Reflecting on the common tendency for companies to prioritize immediate crisis management over proactive planning, they discuss how automotive culture often glorifies the "firefighters" who save the day rather than encouraging a resilient mindset from the start. Beth suggests that organizations shift this perspective by training an "army of problem solvers" and integrating resilience into daily operations. She shares practical advice for training teams, suggesting that even small organizations can identify recurring issues and use them as learning opportunities to build a stronger problem-solving culture.Beth urges leaders to invest in their people, build resilient processes, and rethink their view of contingency planning—not as a task but as an integral part of their organizational mindset. Tune in to discover how to turn resilience into a foundational practice that drives success for your supply chain!Themes discussed in this episode:Understanding resilience in today's automotive supply chainThe importance of organizations adapting to unexpected events and preparing for future disruptionsThe role of leadership in building resilient organizationsCreating a culture where all employees are equipped and empowered to solve problemsMoving away from a “firefighting” mentality to a proactive approach focused on continuous improvement and long-term resilienceRethinking contingency planning as an ongoing cultural practice rather than a one-time taskWhy investing in people and problem-solving training are essential components of a resilient organizationFeatured on this episode: Name: Beth CrowleyTitle: President, The Crowley GroupAbout: Beth Crowley's passion for Operations and Continuous Improvement runs deep in her family, tracing back to her grandfather's pioneering work at Ford during World War II. After earning a BA and MBA in Supply Chain Management from Michigan State University, Beth's career began with roles focused on Lean and Continuous Improvement. She has since held positions at companies like AlliedSignal, UNISYS, and Maytag, where she advanced her expertise in transforming organizations. A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Beth is now a sought-after consultant, part-time faculty member at Oakland University, podcast guest, and regular contributor to the Lean community.Connect: LinkedInMentioned in this episode:

The recent CrowdStrike and Microsoft outages have raised several red flags at companies about their preparedness for when disaster strikes. Could adopting a Chief Risk Officer or Chief Resilience Officer helped with either predicting such vulnerabilities, or at least helped with recovery efforts? Spencer Kimball, CEO and co-founder at Cockroach Labs, chats with Keith about the benefits and challenges for companies around the idea of a Chief Risk Officer, and what companies need to be thinking about in a post-outage world.
Last month was the hottest June ever experienced in Athens, at least since records began over 150 years ago. In fact, eight of the hottest 10 Junes ever recorded in Athens were during the last 20 years and four of those were in the last decade alone. This is having clear consequences for the city and its inhabitants, as rising temperatures and protracted heatwaves, beyond impacting daily life, also pose a number of health risks. Eleni Myrivili, the UN Chief Heat Officer working with UN-Habitat and the Arsht Rock Resilience Center at the Atlantic Council and the former Chief Resilience Officer and deputy mayor for Athens, joins Thanos Davelis to break down the challenges Athens is up against, explore the efforts to build urban heat resilience, and look at whether Athens can serve as an example to other cities.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Athens sizzles with hottest June on recordBuilding Urban Heat Resilience: The Athens Case StudyHellenic Air Force receives 20th upgraded F-16 ViperSyrians attack Turkish troops after anti-migrant riotsProtests and arrests as anti-Syrian riots rock TurkeyWith Fists and Knives, Mobs Attack Syrian Refugees in Turkey

This episode of the Urban Exchange podcast takes a look back at Rotterdam's resilience journey over the past decade. Host Paul Wilson speaks with Arnoud Molenaar, Rotterdam's Chief Resilience Officer, who was one of the first city CROs to be appointed in 2014. Molenaar discusses how Rotterdam first addressed resilience through climate adaptation efforts due to its location near water. We discover how the city developed two resilience strategies focused on issues like water management, social challenges, and pandemic preparedness, as Molenaar takes us through notable projects like the city's "water squares" and the "Resilient BoTu District 2028" initiative. We also delve into Molenaar's vision for resilience to be fully embedded in all of Rotterdam's operations and governance by 2034, uncovering valuable insights for other cities on Rotterdam's pioneering resilience journey over the last decade as one of the early adopters of the Chief Resilience Officer model.

The latest episode of the Urban Exchange delve into the transformative impact of technology on government disbursements to enhance urban resilience. Joining host Paul Wilson are Agustin Botteron, author of a new Visa report on government disbursements and former Chief Resilience Officer of Santa Fe, and Robert L. Matthews, Director of the Washington D.C. Child and Family Services Agency. Agustin shares insights from his experience as a city practitioner, emphasising the critical role of local government support programmes in addressing urban challenges, and the barriers such as capacity and funding. The conversation then shifts to the Visa report, exploring how cities worldwide are managing digital disbursements to enhance urban resilience. Agustin underscores the multifaceted nature of the process, encompassing finding potential beneficiaries, screening, and the actual payment. Director Matthews provides valuable insights into the Washington DC Child and Family Services Agency's shift from a paper-driven system to a digital platform during the COVID-19 pandemic. He focuses on the need for a rapid transition at that time and how it enabled more efficient support for families in need. As the conversation unfolds, the guests highlight the increasing relevance of digital disbursements in responding to extreme weather events and conflicts. They discuss the role of organisations like Visa and the Resilient Cities Network in fostering innovation, knowledge exchange, and infrastructure development. The Grandparent Caregivers Program in Washington, DC, serves as a case study, demonstrating the positive impact of financial subsidies and digital support on families caring for children. We wrap up by discussing the need for collaboration and trust among various stakeholders, including technology providers, payment platforms, government officials, and NGOs.

In this episode of the Climate Correction Podcast, guests Sonia Brubaker and Sonia Succar Ferré delve into the critical work being done by the City of Miami Forever Bond Board Committee to address the city's escalating climate crisis. With a $400 million bond passed to combat the impacts of flooding, extreme heat, and a myriad of climate-related challenges, the City of Miami is taking significant steps towards a more resilient future. The city has also declared a climate emergency and has committed to becoming net zero by 2050. The episode kicks off with a discussion of the dire climate situation facing Miami, emphasizing the urgency of the bond's initiatives. Brubaker and Succar Ferré highlight how the funding from the bond is being allocated to implement nature-based solutions that can mitigate climate risks while also enhancing the city's green infrastructure. One key highlight of the episode is the recent legislative developments aimed at incorporating more nature-based solutions into infrastructure projects. The hosts detail how Miami is embracing innovative approaches to adaptation and mitigation, including green roofs, urban forests, and sustainable drainage systems. These measures not only enhance climate resilience but also improve the overall quality of life for Miami's residents. Another crucial topic covered is the forthcoming RFP (Request for Proposals) ordinance and resilience checklist, which are set to transform the way firms bid on bond projects. By diversifying the pool of bidders to include more landscape architects and climate scientists, the City of Miami aims to bring multidisciplinary expertise to the table. This approach ensures that climate resilience projects are not only technically sound but also ecologically sustainable and community centric. As the episode concludes, Brubaker and Succar Ferré underscore the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders, including government bodies, environmental organizations, and the public, in realizing Miami's climate resilience goals. The City of Miami's commitment to addressing climate change through innovative funding, legislation, and a holistic approach to resilience shines brightly in this enlightening discussion. Listeners are left with a sense of hope and inspiration, knowing that the City of Miami is taking bold steps to confront its climate challenges head-on, setting an example for cities worldwide. This episode serves as a testament to the power of collective action and forward-thinking policies in the face of an ever-pressing climate crisis.

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, adapt to challenges, and recover quickly from setbacks. It's the capacity to withstand and effectively navigate difficult situations, stressors, or traumatic events while maintaining psychological and emotional well-being. Resilience is not a fixed trait; it can be developed and strengthened over time through various strategies, such as building healthy coping mechanisms, seeking professional help when needed, cultivating a support network, and fostering a growth mindset. It plays a significant role in helping individuals navigate life's challenges and maintain their overall well-being. Holistic Wealth is frequently referred to as “The Art of Recovery from Disruption”. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keisha-blair/support

The national COVID-19 public health emergency is coming to an end on May 11, and it's taking with it access to free COVID tests and vaccines. The emergency has been in place since January 2020 and has been renewed several times over the last three years. Its end is not only symbolic; it also might mean a drastically different level of care for COVID patients within hospitals. "I wouldn't say we are in a post-pandemic phase. We are in a much better phase than we were before, but for me the death rate is still far too high," said Abdullah Shihipar, a writer and public health researcher at Brown University School of Public Health. From mandatory mask requirements in care facilities to nationwide data collection, the standards of COVID care with which we have become well-acquainted might be gone by next week. "For many families, COVID-19 is still wreaking havoc in their families," said Dr. Atiya Martin, CEO and founder of All Aces Inc. and former Chief Resilience Officer for the city of Boston. "You still have high infection rates and deaths within working class and communities of color, including undocumented residents or immigrant communities, and so you have this dymanic of the current infection rate being a lot lower than before but still disproportionately impacting these communities." Some medical professionals think this is as good a time as any to end the emergency status while others are worried about what it might mean for their patients, specifically those who are uninsured. "The decision isn't is today the day to stop wearing masks in the hospital, the decision is whether you implement masks forever as the new normal or whether you make them optional... It is a really difficult decision and it really depends on individual values," said Dr. Shira Doron, an infectious disease specialist physician, Chief Infection Control Officer for Tufts Medicine Health System, and the hospital epidemiologist at Tufts Medical Center.

Josh Stanbro developed and led the Office of Climate, Sustainability and Resilience for the City and County of Honolulu as its first Chief Resilience Officer. Josh is now in Washington DC and is Deputy Director of the Policy Lab with Elemental Excelerator, a global nonprofit accelerator for climate tech which was founded in Hawai'i. His path from California to Hawai'i of itself tells a valuable story of 21st Century Hawai'i. And because Hawai'i was once and hopes to again be a place of sustainable agriculture, his previous work at the Trust for Public Land and the Hawai'i Community Foundation, leading up to the Mayor's office, tells a story of the transformation efforts underway, and the expanding reach of the Hawai'ian Renaissance. From Josh we learn about the landmark case on Hawai'ian property law that inspired him to go to law school; about the sustainable agriculture projects he worked on while at the Trust for Public Land and the Hawai'i Community Foundation. We talk about the dozen good reasons to buy local; about inclusive, community driven governance; and how politics is like surfing. Overall we get some info on Hawai'ian activist history, a fair amount of historical and modern land use info, and a lot of good wisdom about leadership in governing. And finally, we learn what three wishes he would have, to help Hawai'i achieve its Aloha Plus challenge goal of getting to 30% locally grown food by 2030.For more info: Elemental ExceleratorThe Resilience Office of the City and County of HonoluluThe Hawai'i Community Foundation The Trust for Public Land, Hawai'i Credits: Sound editing: Keola Iseri of the University of Hawai'i, West Oahu and Rob PeraLogo design: Sue Woodard, and Waipahu High School student Reiko Quitevis Theme music: Waipahu High Schools students Caryssa Shinozawa, Landon Guzman, Syd Sausal

As leaders, it's important that we're able to nurture our own resilience so we can withstand whatever challenges that come our way. How do we become resilient then? In today's episode, Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal, the Chief Resilience Officer at Resilience Leadership Institute, talks about how we can all tap into our own resilience, which is something we don't find outside of ourselves. Resilience is the essence of what it means to be human. It's something ingrained in the fabric of humanity and our shared human experiences defined by challenge, change, and complexity. Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal is an executive coach, a keynote speaker, an author, a mom, an athlete, an international traveler, and a philanthropist. Taryn helps people recognize their worth and value, believe in themselves, appreciate their inherent strengths, recognize their skills and talent, and teach them to be more resilient so they can reach their full potential. Taryn met resilience at 14 years old in her own childhood bedroom when she had a terrifying experience with a stalker. In her early 20s, she met all of the diagnostic criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder. It was a two-decade journey of healing from trauma and betrayal of her safety. Taking that experience and the knowledge she gained over the years, Taryn is now sharing that message of resilience with the world. In this episode, you will hear: Planning vs. preparing for success The essence of resilience How you don't find resilience because it finds you The concept of resilience leadership Taking difficult experiences and turning them into something positive The five practices of resilience Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

On our latest podcast, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with Beck Dawson, who has been Sydney's chief resilience officer since 2015.Her role basically involves worrying about the potential disasters that might befall Australia's biggest city, and how to build resilience in the community… just in case.It's a big job. In Beck's case it involves 33 councils in Sydney as well as state government, business and the community, and plenty of links to resilience experts in other cities around the world.Back when she first started her role, people didn't always understand what she meant by “resilience”.After three years of fires and floods, not to mention the drought that preceded the fires, they sure do.As for what's keeping her up at night? Quite a lot. But namely Aussie's “She'll be right” attitude.This is How to Build a Better World, brought to you by The Fifth Estate.

In this episode from our Ideas We Should Steal Festival, Russ Stark, St. Paul's Chief Resilience Officer, lays out a path to combat the climate crisis through car sharing.
In this week's episode, host Jay Tipton kicks off his national tour in Pennsylvania, the birthplace of our nation. Here at the epicenter of a political divide between old and new energy sources, Jay speaks to historian Tom Foley about how closely linked the state's identity is to the coal and oil industries. As he'll come to find out, Pennsylvania has undergone several transitions in the past, each one serving the greater good of both the state's citizens and the environment. For many Pennsylvanians, heritage is a huge source of pride, especially given the amount of family ties back to the coal, oil, and steel manufacturing industries. In order to see how green initiatives are affecting workers, Jay speaks with Tim Shippey, a union carpenter and bridge welder, about his most recent job completing a solar panel installation atop the same steel mill that employed his father. Next, Jay takes a closer look at entry level opportunities by talking to Ronn Cort, President & COO of Sekisui Kydex, a manufacturer of recyclable thermoplastics. Not only has Ronn's company reimagined plastic as a renewable material, but he has also laid the foundation to instill purpose in his workers, breathing new life (and new talent) into the world of manufacturing. Before leaving PA, Jay chats with Walt Yakabowsky about the training programs available to both old and new workers looking to acquire green skills – and how much money they can expect to earn in their new lines of work. Finally, Jay connects with Philadelphia's Chief Resilience Officer, Saleem Chapman, to discuss how Pennsylvanians of all backgrounds can promote equity by coming together in the large-scale effort needed to ready the state for climate change.

13 states have either a State Resilience Officer or a Chief Resilience Officer. In this podcast we have an interview with Mike Harryman, State Resilience Officer for the State of Oregon. Besides the pandemic, Oregon has had several other major disasters, including the largest wildfire in its history and a historic heatwave that killed scores of people. All of the above caused the state to do a series of after-action reports that led to a restructuring of the emergency management function in the state. Those topics and more are covered in this engaging discussion with a national leader in disaster resilience policy.This episode is sponsored by Unearth. Unearth's emergency response software connects field responders and the command center, equipping teams with mobile tools for rapid damage assessments, real-time incident tracking, and seamless information sharing. Empower field teams where their work actually happens - reducing response times, optimizing resource management, and simplifying reporting with a dynamic, map-based field operations platform.
Post By: Adam Turteltaub What does your organization have in common with a well-inflated basketball? Maybe not enough. As Vanessa Mathews, Founder and Chief Resilience Officer at Asfalis Advisors explains, business resilience is like the air in the basketball: It's what makes the ball bounce. And, we all want a business with the resilience to bounce back from a crisis. Building resiliency depends on having the right capabilities, processes and people. It starts with understanding that a crisis is an incident that can impact your organization's reputation, profitability, operations or all three. Once you determine if you are in a crisis, the next step is assessment. This includes asking questions such as: What is the scope? What are the likely consequences? How long will this be in the news? What risks are we willing to take? Once you have those answers it is time to determine if you need to activate the crisis management team. Surviving a crisis depends on preparedness, which includes leadership support, training and development, the resources to investigate, ongoing risk assessments, workforce tracking, and, of course, a culture of compliance. Resilience in a crisis also requires a strong commitment to communications with regulators, third-party stakeholders, leadership, the board, employees, and in the case of healthcare providers, their patients, visitors and the community. It's not something that comes overnight, but it's an investment well worth making to ensure that your business has the bounce it needs. Listen in to learn more about how to build in resiliency, including what you will need from leadership, who needs to be on the crisis support team, and the role of organizational values.

Resilience is a primary function of any thriving city. No where do we see this challenge most evident than across the U.S. I-10 corridor. Whether it's the impacts of mega drought and extreme heat in the west or hurricanes and massive floods in the east, the cities along the U.S. I-10 have had to anticipate and respond to unprecedented challenges caused by rapid climate change including failing infrastructure, poverty, public health, and affordable housing. In this episode, Ten Across founder Duke Reiter talks to Nicole Ferrini, Chief Resilience Officer for the City of El Paso, Texas, and Abena Ojetayo, Director of Housing and Community Resilience for the City of Tallahassee, Florida about how to build resilient communities for today's big challenges and in anticipation for the future.For more information about the Ten Across initiative visit www.10across.com.
