Eight years after the devastating 2011 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, a round-table discussion was convened, to enable local stakeholders and decision-makers to explore their experience of disaster recovery and uncover lessons for infrastructure management. A key point of discussion was how dependencies between assets and sectors affect resilience. The findings captured in this summary […]
Our infrastructure is interconnected and interdependent. A major incident in one location can cascade rapidly and have an impact on critical infrastructure systems elsewhere, affecting their ability to function, to connect communities, provide essential services, or to protect society. A ‘black sky hazard’ is defined by the EIS Council as ‘a catastrophic event that severely […]
As part of our work on ‘Electricity sector and interdependencies’, we propose to implement EARTH EX sector exercises, allowing critical infrastructure players to improve their planning to black sky events by adopting systems thinking, cross-sectorial approaches. We will initially host two EARTH EX resilience exercises in the UK (London, 28th February and Glasgow, 4th March), a locally facilitated, […]

The fourth of the Technical Advisory Group’s round-table series for the Resilience Shift took place in Christchurch New Zealand.
This Resilience Shift round-table takes place in Christchurch, New Zealand, and is convened by the Resilience Shift Technical Advisory Group. Participants will be by invitation only but the conclusions will be shared in a report after the event.
At COP24 ‘Shocks and stressors: water’s essential role in addressing climate change and disaster risk’ includes Resilience Shift water governance partners
EarthEx is an online interactive exercise aiming to provide organisations and individuals with a forum to discuss, develop and test organisational plans to improve resilience to Black Sky Hazards. Find out how we got on.
