RESILIENCE COLLABORATIVE

About the Collaborative
In 2018, the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council adopted a resolution recommitting to regionalism and supported a program to convene stakeholders across the region to develop a structure and framework for a regional resilience collaborative.
Three pillars were identified under the resilience umbrella; (people) Health + Equity, (places) Build Infrastructure + Natural Environment, and (prosperity) economic resilience. Woven throughout those pillars will be a reduction of the carbon footprint, risks and vulnerabilities utilizing emergency management, and increasing efforts toward sustainability, region wide.
With that framework in mind, the steering committee drafted a Memorandum of Understanding that would formalize the Collaborative and identify partner local governments and agencies throughout our 8 county, 78 city region. The East Central Florida Regional Planning Council formalized the East Central Florida Regional Resilience Collaborative, ECFR2C, on May 15, 2019 and will begin to formalize partnerships with our local jurisdictions and agencies. A signing ceremony will be held in fall 2019.
