BIG NEWS: BizFed turned out in full force to celebrate the signing of the partnership agreement between @SBAgov and @USResiliency. It cements collaboration on the #ResilienceAdvantage program (sponsored by BizFed member @OptimumSeismic) aimed at boosting disaster resiliency.
I was honored to be in the company of SBA Administrator Isabella Guzman and LA Area Chamber CEO Maria Salinas as we created a partnership to promote resilience for small businesses statewide.
Thank you to @sbagov Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman and @USResiliency Executive Director Evan Reis for visiting the Chamber today to announce the creation of the SBA-USRC partnership to promote resiliency for small businesses in California.

This is big — and will help save lives and insulate our economy ahead of “the big one.” The new agreement between @SBAgov and @USResiliency cements collaboration on the #ResilienceAdvantage program sponsored by @OptimumSeismic.

Resiliency is way bigger than just building safety DURING an extreme natural event. USRC is proud to work with business leaders and get them information they need to understand and get ready for what comes AFTER.
Building resilient small businesses is vital to our communities and economy. That’s why @SBAgov and @USResiliency have partnered together to provide resources on disaster mitigation and resiliency plans for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Each Making Resilience Cool podcast explores a unique aspect of WHY & HOW to pursue disaster resilience. In #7, hear Daniel Zepeda’s perspective on why engineers need to visit earthquake sites with a mind to the whole community not just structural systems. tinyurl.com/5329f9bw
Longtime USRC member @Degenkolb can be proud of the work its engineers do after major quakes around the world to advance understanding of structural systems *and* community impacts and solutions.
How do earthquakes affect embodied carbon? What's a Green Janitor? In our 8th Making Resilience Cool #podcast, Ben Stapleton of @USGBCLA helps host Audrey Luu @CalPolyARCE connect the dots between #sustainablity and #resilience. Have a listen today! tinyurl.com/murnv7cn

Nothing is more compelling as a topic of research and action in today’s very turbulent conditions than the need to demonstrate disaster-resistant buildings and communities’ economic and environmental impacts.

THIS THRS at 1p, tune in live with us to hear the details and celebrate this monumental win for California's earthquake-vulnerable multifamily housing tenants, owners, and communities!
It's an 'Affordable housing emergency’ now, what about after a major quake? S.F. doesn’t have enough units for seniors, its fast-growing, vulnerable group sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti… via @sfchronicle
Learn more about our vision and work in this quick @STRUCTUREmag read explaining how our existing earthquake and forthcoming wind performance rating systems catalyze more #resilientcommunities. You can't manage what you can't measure. lnkd.in/g9Bfda-d
Seismic retrofit subsidies work. They spotlight the problem, motivate stakeholders to study & tackle it through inventories, laws & programs, & rightly acknowledge the long-lasting social benefits of reduced risk so it's not solely on the owner (or tenants via pass-thrus) to pay.
California's close to creating a $250 million grant fund for Soft-Story #multifamily #housing! The Senate just said 'Aye' 28-7. We're proud to help push for seismic #mitigation to protect #wholecommunities. Now, on to the Governor! Thank you @NancySkinnerCA @AsmRodriguez52
