Nonprofit presents '12‑step' resiliency plan during Houston Resilience Committee public comment
Summary
Danny Asbury, president of Solel International, told the committee his group has a '12 step resiliency plan' and said it is coordinating with neighborhood civic clubs; he requested meetings with the mayor and council members and plans a fuller presentation on Oct. 3, 2024.
Danny Asbury, president of Solel International, used the meeting’s public comment period to present a community‑focused "12 step resiliency plan" that his organization says is designed to strengthen preparedness, energy reliability and neighborhood recovery.
Asbury said Solel International works with several neighborhood civic clubs including Northwood Manor, the East Houston Civic Club and Sunnyside, and that the nonprofit is eager to collaborate with the city’s Office of Emergency Management and the Houston Real Estate Division on implementation. “We are also the creators of the 12 step resiliency plan,” he said, and asked to meet with Mayor Whitmire and council members to discuss next steps.
Why it matters: community groups frequently supply local knowledge about neighborhood vulnerabilities and can shape how utilities and the city target resilience investments. Asbury said he would present additional details on Oct. 3, 2024.
