I have a few nits to pick with this piece from @BPC_Bipartistan but overall it's a great resource on our (collective) progress to institutionalize #resilience in the US. @CitiesCatalyst @RCitiesNetwork @rebuildbydesign

2/2 -- Three thoughts: 1. A shocking tale of operational risk (mis) management 2. With climate change, we need to be more imaginative about our futures, the past will not predict the future 3. Utilities have a hard but critical role to play in creating more resilient futures
