The Southern California Resilience Initiative (SCRI), led by 100 Resilient Cities, is a one-year sequence of convenings, tactical workshops, and design sprints to surface and test the world’s most innovative solutions to fire and urban heat in the Greater Los Angeles region. This work is especially vital as Los Angeles and Ventura Counties continue to rebuild in the wake of the Woolsey Fire late last year.
After a competitive selection process, SCRI announced three pilot projects for implementation:
“We are proud to support the work of SCRI. It has been encouraging to see the excitement around these three selected projects, and how they will contribute to building greater climate resilience throughout the region,” shared Robert Miyashiro, program officer for the Hilton Foundation. “We look forward to our continued partnership in this innovative collaboration.”
Developed in response to the broader trend toward hotter, drier, and more extreme heat and wildfire events, SCRI will build a global practice on regional wildfire management through these pilots and its broader network.
