The Yolo Resiliency Planning Group (YRPG) is an ad-hoc staff level organization that formed in October 2017 to kickstart collaborative  resiliency planning across Yolo County. Current participants include Yolo County; the Cities of Woodland, Winters, West Sacramento, Davis; the UC Davis Office of Sustainability and the Policy Institute of Energy, Economy, and Environment; Yolo County Housing; Valley Vision; Cool Davis; Yolo Energy Watch; the Local Government Commission; and the Capital Region Climate Readiness Collaborative (CRC).

The purpose of this presentation is to inform and update the board on progress on the YRPG Resiliency Plan Toolbox project. The Resiliency Plan Toolbox includes best practices and template language to incorporate heat impact analysis and resiliency strategies into local planning. This toolbox was identified as a desired tool at a YRPG workshop in early 2018 with 38 attendees from various county agencies. To build this toolbox, the YRPG hired a CivicSpark Fellow in September 2018. The CivicSpark Fellow will present an update and overview of the toolbox to the board. The toolbox is expected to be done by August 2019.
