Roadmap to Resilience

The Roadmap to Resilience is a two-year project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy in February 2019. The project seeks to assist small- to medium-sized communities with the development of their own customized resilience plans by providing a toolkit of six action steps to make the planning process more straightforward and impactful. These steps include:

• Stakeholder engagement leading practices
• Guidance on how to perform baseline analysis
• Information on how to leverage partners and existing assets
• Identification of and suggestions for using a variety of funding sources
• Direction to helpful federal and national laboratory resources
• Metrics to measure success

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Division of Energy (DE) partnered with three Missouri communities – St. James, Rolla and Stockton – who provide insight into the needs of small- to medium-sized communities. In addition to the department, the Project Team included AECOM, Paragon Business Solutions, and the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA), who developed the Roadmap to Resilience resources. Several cost share partners provided additional resources and insight, including the Consumer Council of Missouri, Municipal Public Utility Alliance, Office of Public Counsel, Renew Missouri, and the St. James Winery. 

If you would like more information regarding the Roadmap to Resilience, including scheduling an informational presentation for your community or organization, please contact the department by telephone at 573-751-2254 or by email at energy@dnr.mo.gov.
