Council includes community resilience and disaster planning among top legislative asks
Summary
Councilors agreed to include community resilience and disaster planning — covering microgrids, local generation, and energy storage — among the five priorities to forward to LLC; staff will draft resolution language for formal council action.
Presenter (S4) explained that LLC would advocate for planning resources, technical assistance and funding to help cities prepare to maintain and recover energy during a disaster. Solutions listed included local energy generation (solar, biomass, hydro, biogas), microgrids and energy storage.
"This includes virtual, power plants, microgrids, energy storage, and under other solutions that help cities and their communities increase energy resilience," the presenter said while walking through the LLC platform options (SEG 088–091). Councilors agreed to include community resilience and disaster planning among the five priorities staff will return to the council as a draft resolution.
No specific projects or funding amounts were mentioned in the work session; the council will consider the draft resolution and the precise policy language at a future meeting.
