The goal of this workshop is to create a place for the community and thought leaders to come together to create a short-term (one year) Resilience Action Checklist. The RAFT team will review the findings from the localities scorecard and identify the “low-hanging fruit” for improving resilience. The localities will break out into focused discussion groups to uncover how they can build on their current strengths, brainstorm opportunities, and identify 3 to 5 top opportunities for the next year to increase resilience in the face of environmental, economic, and social challenges. We will then dive into a large group discussion on regional sharing and maximizing impact across all of the localities, followed by break out sessions into locality discussion groups to identify an implementation team, create a timeline for the checklist, coordinate logistics with the RAFT team (e.g., timeline for calls), go over next steps, while allowing for open collaboration and opportunity for feedback throughout the process.
