Project Objectives Develop and apply a resilience scorecard: 1. To spatially evaluate the coordination of local networks of plans. 1. To spatially assess the degree to which the network of plans targets areas most physically and socially vulnerable. 2. To develop a guidebook and a software tool for local practitioners to evaluate networks of plans. CRC 2nd Annual Meeting The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Feb. 1-3, 2017
