Economic Resilience Scorecard
Preparing for Disaster Response, Recovery & Risk Reduction
Mitigation planning is essential
to the region’s ability to withstand and recover from disasters.
The Economic Resilience Scorecard provides the first comprehensive regional framework for evaluating resiliency against a host of today’s most pressing risks. Developed by the International Sustainable Resilience Center in partnership with StateBook International, the Scorecard enables organizations to assess resiliency across their local communities and the region as a whole.
The Scorecard also provides a valuable framework with step-by-step instructions and examples to maximize regional collaboration, preparedness, and response to today’s dynamic and evolving challenges.
Yuba-Sutter Economic Development Corporation is adopting the Economic Resilience Scorecard to maximize the resiliency and preparedness of the counties and cities it serves in California.

Resiliency and EDA
It is becoming increasingly apparent that regional economic prosperity is linked to an area’s ability to prevent, withstand, and quickly recover from major disruptions (i.e., ‘shocks’) to its economic base. In the context of economic development, economic resilience includes three primary attributes: the ability to recover quickly from a shock, the ability to withstand a shock, and the ability to avoid the shock altogether. Establishing economic resilience in a local or regional economy requires the ability to anticipate risk, evaluate how that risk can impact key economic assets, and build a responsive capacity.
Types of Resiliency
The Economic Resilience Scorecard addresses a wide variety of economic, business, natural disaster, cyber, and other risks.
Natural Disaster Risk
Flooding and wildfires are major risks of the Yuba-Sutter region.
Man-Made Disasters
Disasters created by humans, whether industrial accidents, acts of terror, or disruptions due to protests and social unrest, pose significant potential challenges to economic well-being. Ensuring the region is prepared to minimize the negative impacts of these occurrences can reduce damages and speed recovery.
Pandemic Risk
The COVID19 pandemic affected the region’s economy in a profound way and experts warn that there will certainly be additional impacts. Preparing now for the potential shocks of new strains or entirely new pandemics will help the region better cope with those shocks.
