Resilience and Hazard Mitigstion Planning Manager Freese and Nichols, Inc. Houston, Texas
Resilience planners often face political realities that make direct discussions that center on resilience and sustainability … complicated. Explore successful strategies that reframe the resilience conversation in a way that emphasizes shared values like economic development, infrastructure protection, public safety, and fiscal responsibility - concepts everyone can get behind! Examine real-world examples and learn to assess your local political landscape, identify unexpected coalition partners, and craft compelling narratives that unite diverse audiences around resilient outcomes. This presentation addresses a fundamental question confronting planning professionals nationwide: How do we effectively advocate for science-based resilience solutions when direct climate language isn't available to us or is counterproductive?
Explore practical communication strategies, tested messaging frameworks, and real-world case studies that demonstrate how to successfully implement resilience planning in politically and culturally diverse environments. Closed Captioning
Learning Objectives:
Identify and apply alternative framing strategies for resilience planning that emphasize shared values (economic development, public safety, infrastructure protection) rather than politically charged terminology.
Assess your local context and develop appropriate communication approaches by evaluating community priorities, potential allies, and messaging challenges.
Develop coalition-building strategies that unite diverse stakeholders around resilience outcomes by focusing on mutual benefits rather than ideological alignment.
