Light the Way to Resiliency

 OP INSTITUTIONAL 01By Lisa Brown

Resiliency is often a priority for municipalities, but the topic has been especially crucial for local government leaders given recent natural disasters. The best methods used to protect one city aren’t necessarily the best approaches for another city. For example, municipalities that face severe hurricanes may need to implement different connected solutions than a city that faces drought conditions. Being prepared for the unexpected not only helps cities protect their investment, but also its residents and visitors. 

A smart city infrastructure can help cities achieve resiliency in addition to keeping its occupants more comfortable and safe. When planning, city leaders should identify their challenges and goals to determine which intelligent infrastructure or solutions to integrate.
