CRA has been hard at work over the last year! Partnering with the Bay Area UASI on two projects, CRA has developed tools  aimed at facilitating resiliency across the Bay Area:

• Bay Area Public-Private Partnership Resiliency Initiative (BAPPPRI): This program increases community recovery capacity by improving public-private partnerships, relationships, and understanding around post-emergency expectations and needs. The tools provide:
  •  A Strategic Plan - guidance on developing and sustaining partnerships in the form of Private Sector Advisory Committees
  • Public Sector Business Operations Center (BOC) Activation Guide – for government personnel
  • Private Sector Business Operations Center (BOC) Activation Guide – for BOC volunteer representatives from businesses
• Post-Catastrophic Permit and Regulation Project: This program identified and documented processes to consider waivers and modifications to permits regulations, and procedures during recovery from catastrophic events and other emergencies. With this tool, emergency managers can reduce the time and effort require to research and request waivers.

The mission of the California Resiliency Alliance is to build sustainable public-private partnerships to support community disaster response, recovery, and climate adaptation efforts.

The CRA acts as the conduit for business, non-profit, and government partners to plan together, stay informed and leverage their unique capabilities in times of crisis and before. Leveraging its robust partner network, the CRA works to create space for greater community resilience and effective disaster recovery planning.
