BendiNewsTest: Oakland Appoints its First Chief Resilience Officer

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Oakland Appoints its First Chief Resilience Officer

The City of Oakland just announced its first Chief Resilience Officer (CRO). “What’s that?” I hear you ask. Well, the Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities initiative (100RC) is “dedicated to helping cities around the world become more resilient to the physical, social and economic challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century.” Oakland has been awarded a place in the program and the appointment of a CRO is an important step in securing its future resiliency. The next round of applications for 100RC closes 10 September, 2014, so read on to see how your city can participate.
