After explaining the concept of the resilient municipality the deck walk through the steps to profiling the municipality on a common good matrix using capital and values as a framework

1. Explaining Resilience
and how to identify the
resilience of your
municipality
Beyond sustainability

2. All communities need
emergency services
EMERGENCY SERVICES
Blue light
Rapid Response
Acute medical
Etc.

3. All communities need
basic services
BASIC SERVICES
Food & Water
Fuel
Housing
Health
Transport
Payment system

4. All communities need to
build capability to be:
SAFE FROM DANGER
SECURE IN PROVISION
ABLE TO RESPOND
TO EMERGENCIES
SECURE IN BELONGING

5. All communities need to
exercise care
SAFE FROM DANGER
SECURE IN PROVISION
ABLE TO RESPOND
TO EMERGENCIES
SECURE IN BELONGING

6. To provide services in a resilient way
requires a level of capital of each type
SOCIAL HUMAN BUILT MINERAL BIOLOGICAL
performance
depletion
The capital can be depleting or replenishing, and the service it provides
is either adequate or inadequate

7. Service delivery
= Σ capital + human work + inputs
capital = Σ human work + inputs
The common good regional matrix provides a reporting framework
at municipal level giving stakeholders a shared starting point from which to develop
strategies and activities for sustainable development whilst keeping a risk management
focus.

11. If your municipality is serious about
planning for the future and
replacing global economy and fossil
economy with a resilient, vibrant
local economy, a good place to start
is the common good matrix analysis
tool.
