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.
