The videos below are part of an outreach effort headed by CRC researchers Phil Berke (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) and Jaimie Masterson (Texas A&M University) as part of the project “Application of the Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard (PIRS™) at the National Scale in Partnership with the American Planning Association”. Working with the American Planning Association, the country’s largest group of planning professionals, they will incorporate Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard™ (PIRS)™ into resources communities can use to protect themselves from the impacts of these hazards into its offerings.

As part of the agreement, APA will designate PIRS™ as a national standard and resource for building local capacity to integrate resilience across planning sectors. The project will build on previous work developing and testing PIRS™ to expand its application and impact on a national scale.

To learn more, see the PIRS Guidebook or read the website American Planning Association PAS Memo: Building Resilience Through Plan Integration.
