Ten-point Checklist - Essentials for Making Cities Resilient
 Essential 1: Put in place organization and coordination to understand and reduce
disaster risk, based on participation of citizen groups and civil society. Build local
alliances. Ensure that all departments understand their role to disaster risk
reduction and preparedness.
 Essential 2: Assign a budget for disaster risk reduction and provide incentives for
homeowners, low-income families, communities, businesses and public sector to
invest in reducing the risks they face.
 Essential 3: Maintain up-to-date data on hazards and vulnerabilities, prepare risk
assessments and use these as the basis for urban development plans and
decisions. Ensure that this information and the plans for your city's resilience are
readily available to the public and fully discussed with them.
 Essential 4: Invest in and maintain critical infrastructure that reduces risk, such as
flood drainage, adjusted where needed to cope with climate change.
 Essential 5: Assess the safety of all schools and health facilities and upgrade these
as necessary.
Ten-point Checklist - Essentials for Making Cities Resilient
 Essential 6: Apply and enforce realistic, risk compliant building regulations and
land use planning principles. Identify safe land for low-income citizens and
develop upgrading of informal settlements, wherever feasible.
 Essential 7: Ensure education programs and training on disaster risk reduction are
in place in schools and local communities.
 Essential 8: Protect ecosystems and natural buffers to mitigate floods, storm
surges and other hazards to which your city may be vulnerable. Adapt to climate
change by building on good risk reduction practices.
 Essential 9: Install early warning systems and emergency management capacities
in your city and hold regular public preparedness drills.
 Essential 10: After any disaster, ensure that the needs of the survivors are placed
at the centre of reconstruction with support for them and their community
organizations to design and help implement responses, including rebuilding
homes and livelihoods.
