Last January, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded a total of $1 billion in National Disaster Resilience grants to 13 states and cities. In making the announcement, HUD made it clear that its judging criteria followed that of Rebuild by Design, a competition that the Rockefeller Foundation initiated in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
The 102-year-old Rockefeller Foundation has long been at the forefront of the resilience movement, helping municipalities and businesses find ways to combat and respond to manmade and natural disasters.
