Hilton Foundation: Southern California Resilience Initiative (SCRI)

The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, in partnership with Resilient Cities Catalyst, launched the Southern California Resilience Initiative (SCRI) in 2019 to surface and pilot the world’s most innovative solutions to fire and urban heat in the Los Angeles region. As Southern California rebuilds in the wake of the 2018 Woolsey Fire, SCRI aims to strengthen the region’s preparedness for wildfire and extreme heat as well as other climate threats—which are projected to become more extreme, frequent, and costly—helping to minimize their impact and ensuring the region can “bounce back” more quickly from future shocks. Because the impacts of wildfires and other climate threats are not confined to municipal boundaries, we are working to foster greater resilience to these events through coordinated efforts at the regional scale.
