In their book,
Resilient Communities across Geographies, authors Sheila and Steven Steinberg examine the theory and application of different communities’ abilities to respond to and recover from unexpected, disruptive situations. Examples vary from ecosystem resilience to climate adaptation to urban and cultural resilience.
Although there are many different forms of resilience, they all share some characteristic patterns. These patterns can be revealed and better understood by geographic information system (GIS) technology. The application of GIS yields actionable information culminating in a resilience plan.
In this book for academics and practitioners, readers will be able to discern patterns of theoretical frameworks, analytical methods, and GIS applications that will undoubtedly be relevant to their own fields of interest.

i have run a company similar to the electric power co. and have witnessed since their first day of operation, it was obvious they had been highly trained in safety and controlling the etiquette in which there groups operated. i have personally observed, as a pedestrian and psychologist, that electric tore company has consistently kept the same high standards i always giving the right away to pedestrians and cyclists. it is clear their guides understand it is critical to operate in this manner for the company to continue to operate. there was an earlier speaker that was mistaken when he said segways did not operate on pads for pedestrians and cyclists. we share those same paths and there had never been a problem because the segways travel single file and are courteous. please let them continue to use the paths they arkin currently using, as they have proven their dedication to safety. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. good morning, supervisors. thank you for your thoug

both invitations, saying it would not be appropriate. good morning, supervisors. thank you for the opportunity to speak in front of you. i live in san francisco s nob hill district, and i have been a guide for several years now. i m just going to read parts of the letter that was provided to us on behalf of a local resident, and i will give this to you when i m done. dear supervisors, i m writing in reference to a hearing scheduled march 14 in reference to a contract the city has entered with the electric tour company. my understanding is certain groups are opposing these out of a concern for safety for other uses where they are proposed to operate. it is my belief based on my experience as a segway owner and operator that these complaints are groundless and should not prevent them from proceeding with this contract did tour services. i m a resident of district 7 and an employee of salesforce.com i am an owner of model i2. i have operated it nearly 1,500 miles, many of whi

you been in business? we started about six months after the electric tour company. july 2005. supervisor mar: thank you. thank you. i am with silicon segway. we are the folks that started the tours in golden gate park. it was our idea, the routes were ours, and we obtained a six- month permit to operate the stores. after completing six successful months, we went another six months to operate. we had a great time. when it came time to renew the permit, it was opened up to everyone and we did not win the permit to continue. i am not sure why it was. i suspect for local reasons. i am here today to support your approval of the san francisco electric tour company s use of golden gate park. they are highly qualified, as you can tell from what you have heard today. i am sure they will do an outstanding job for you. it seems strange to be dating segway use at all. here we are in san francisco, where the police officers are, at this moment, at the largest airport, conducting safet
