2020
The Challenge of Financing Resiliency
The Riley Center partnered with the Virginia Coastal Policy Center at William & Mary Law School to host a discussion on strategies and tools local governments can use to finance resilience projects. Speakers include Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. along with experts in the insurance and banking industries, local government, and the private sector.
Hurricane Dorian Resilience Assessment
The Riley Center partnered with the Charleston Resilience Network and the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce to increase understanding of how hurricanes impact local organizations. The Riley Center administered an electronic survey to Chamber members in Charleston, Dorchester, and Berkeley Counties to assess damage sustained and perception of major storms. This survey focuses on the impacts of Hurricane Dorian, with questions that also address regional resilience, information reliability, and response planning.
