1 INTRODUCING Resilient Los Angeles

2 Introducing Resilient Los Angeles Resilience is a value that guides everything we do in Los Angeles, because we know that the decisions we make today will shape the future our children and grandchildren will inherit. The Resilient Los Angeles plan will help us strengthen our infrastructure, protect our economy, make our institutions more inclusive, and create safer neighborhoods. Mayor Eric Garcetti 2

3 Why Resilience? Los Angeles Florida Resilience is the capacity to survive, adapt, and thrive in the face of chronic stresses and acute shocks, and to even transform as conditions require. Northern California Mexico City Puerto Rico Texas Las Vegas Carolinas Indonesia Hawaii Central Coast 3
