Effective crisis management is crucial for our cities' resilience. The City Leaders Survey reveals that while priorities have shifted since the 2022 Survey, the need for stronger government collaboration remains essential. “City leaders face a significant challenge in crisis management. The current approach tends to be more reactive than proactive, often leaving communities to deal with long-term, complex issues. Leaders need to shift towards stronger regional-level disaster planning and develop a risk reduction investment pipeline, focusing resources on adaptation and preventative measures.” - Poppy Wise, Director, Urbis The survey highlights the importance of a proactive approach to crisis management. This involves conducting vulnerability assessments to better understand risks, investing in early intervention to build community resilience, and protecting vital public assets. Implementing place-based resilience planning and developing multi-sectoral regional resilience plans are also critical.
