From YouTube: NOAH Resiliency Summit
Description
Alongside NOAH Leadership and Green New Deal Director, Oliver Sellers-Garcia, Mayor Wu kicked off the 2022 NOAH Resiliency Summit. Here, community leaders participated in a "Speed Dating Hackathon for Experts and Dummies" where they discussed issues surrounding emergency management, affordable housing, heat, flooding, and traffic congestion.
A
Latifah
I
hired
as
a
resiliency
coordinator
for
Nova
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
We
wanted
to
focus
on
climate
and
resiliency,
but
Latifah
when
she
was
here.
As
you
know,
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
though,
it
wasn't
necessarily
the
major
issue.
She
started
having
conversations
with
many
of
you
and
in
the
neighborhood
about
what
was
going
on
and
what
was
important
so
climate.
While
it's
important
there
was
all
those
issues
of
food
security.
There
was
youth
issues.
There
were
a
whole
variety
of
things
from
Social
Services,
not
necessarily
crime
anymore.
A
The
city's
done
a
great
job
on
that,
but
covered
all
the
health
networks.
Social
services
going
on
a
lot
of
things
are
happening:
food
insecurity.
So,
instead
of
having
just
a
climate
Summit
or
a
emergency
preparedness
Summit
right
away,
we
thought:
how
do
we
have
conversations
sort
of
pull
us
together?
Build
social
cohesion,
get
us
talking
with
each
other,
maybe
build
a
resiliency
committee
that
way
and
not
talk
on
climate
as
yet.
So
that's
really
what
preceded
this
conversation
in
this
particular
event.
A
So
we
do
want
to
have
something
on
the
emergency
preparedness
and
we're
going
to
pull
Nancy
Smith
in
the
office
of
emergency
management,
not
right
now
Nancy,
but
in
the
future,
I
put
her
on
the
spot,
but
in
the
future,
we're
going
to
have
another
set.
Something
like
this
for
the
neighborhood,
because
if
there
were
an
event,
let's
say
something
happens
in
you
know
the
Florida
we
get
some
water.
We
don't
always
know
what
to
do
so.
We
want
to
be
prepared
for
that.
A
The
city
is
preparing
some
wonderful
plans
and
opportunities
for
change
in
the
city,
we'll
all
talk
about
those
and
there's
a
climate
table
around.
If
you
want
to
weigh
in
on
that,
what
will
happen
to
you
and
your
family,
but
there's
a
lot
to
be
done
in
the
neighborhood.
It
isn't
just
climate
climate's,
a
major
issue
for
all
of
us,
as
you
know
personally,
and
as
a
community
in
variety
of
agencies,
and
certainly
the
mayor
who's
published
a
lot
of
different
plans,
and
we
know
the
green
New.
A
Deal
has
a
lot
more
to
say
to
bring
carbon
free
work
to
ours
to
our
city.
So
right
now
we
want
to
do
something
called
a
whole
Community
approach.
That
is
we're
going
to
be
listening,
offering
suggestions
to
each
other,
creating
understanding
among
each
other
working
to
make
sure
the
conversations
are
across
a
variety
of
boundaries
and
bilingual
as
much
as
we
can
make
them
and
building
a
foundation
for
a
resiliency
Network.
That's
really
what
this
is
about.
So
we
want
to
have
your
conversations
around
a
variety
of
different
tops,
including
affordable,
housing,
of
course.
A
So
our
next
step
is.
We
will
gather
people
for
a
resiliency
Network
that
started
today.
We
will
have
the
emergency
prepared
to
Summit
a
little
bit
in
the
future,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
coming
at
the
last
minute
and
giving
her
her
presence
to
this
wonderful
event
and
wonderful
agencies
and
wonderful
people
who
are
here
and
but
before
we
do
that
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
to
our
councilor
Coletta.
Who
will
be
here,
I
think
at
some
point
in
the
near
future.
I
know
she
will
be
I.
A
Think
Adrian
is
over
in
Venice
with
his
family,
taking
a
long
overdue
vacation.
They
haven't
been
there
in
years
because
of
you
know
what
but
I
think
Laura
Bell
who's
here
everybody
knows
bearable
smile
and
wave,
while
you're
here,
Natalia
Benitez,
who
is
the
mayor's
neighborhood
liaison,
is
here
somewhere.
A
Everybody
knows:
Natasha
she's,
a
great
person
so
smiling
and
waiting
to
tell
you
if
you're
in
the
vicinity
she
might
be
downstairs
waiting
for
the
mayor
and
lastly,
the
media
was
here:
Stephen
Quigley
from
the
East
Boston
times
was
here
and
wants
to
know
what
happens
after
this
I
think
we're
going
to
be
doing
streaming
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
publish
that
later,
but
Paula
Mora
from
WBUR
is
also
here.
So
if
you
don't
want
to
talk
to
the
media
or
you
don't
want
to
be
seen,
then
don't
smile.
It.
A
Paula,
where
are
you
right
now
you
can
you
can
smile
yourself
if
Paula
comes
up
and
asks
you,
a
question
feel
free
to
talk
to
her
if
you'd
like
it,
if
not,
they
decline
the
opportunity
with
that
I
want
to.
Thank
you
very
much
for
coming.
Angela
Juan.
You
were
great
the
number
of
wonderful
people
who
are
here.
A
We
hope
to
see
you
again
in
the
future
either
one
of
our
annual
dinners
or
another
event
lots
to
be
done
in
the
neighborhood
across
a
lot
of
boundaries,
but
I
do
want
to
welcome
again
with
tip
is
the
ad
but
I
think
we
all.
A
lot
of
us
have
come
to
know
and
love
and
respect
for
all
of
her
work.
Latifah.
Thank
you
for
spending
all
these
numbers
hours
and
months
planning
for
this
particular
event.
You've
done
a
great
job.
Thank
you.
Let
me
turn
it
over
to
Latifah.
C
C
C
C
C
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
for
us,
everyone
to
know
where
everyone
is
so
right
after
weeks
is
super
engaged
in
our
speed
dating
hackathon
for
experts
and
right
and
when
we
say
that
we're
not
saying
to
anyone
is
less
intelligent
than
anyone
else.
What
we
are
saying
is
that
you
can
walk
off
the
street.
You
don't
have
to
be
intimidated
and
you
actually
don't
know
how
much
you
might
be
an
expert
in
your
own
content
relevancy
as
it
hits
the
ground
right.
C
D
C
So
now
what
we're
going
to
do
is
have
a
little
fun.
So
if
you
are
sitting
at
the
cyber
security
table,
we're
going
to
have
you
do
your
wave
like
the
Patriots
or
just
break
your
hands
up.
So
we
know
where
you
are
so
she
knows
where
you
are
okay,
if
you're
in
extreme
heat
I
want
to
see
you
raise
your
hand
if
you
were
a
tree
canopy,
let's
see
what's
going
on.
C
C
E
E
There
are
a
couple
members
of
my
team
today
who
are
way
more
important
than
me
in
terms
of
the
work
happening
in
our
city
and
the
leadership
that
we
hope
to
help
support
in
the
community,
and
so
I
see
a
number
of
folks
and,
if
I
miss.
Anyone.
Please
remind
me,
but,
first
and
foremost
your
East
Boston
Neighborhood
liaison
Natalia,
who
is
everywhere.
Thank
you
for
everything
that
you
do.
E
Natalia
is
like,
like
so
many
of
our
neighborhood
Liaisons,
of
course,
focus
on
how
we
can
provide
the
services
and
that's
how
you
think
about
the
meetings
that
City
Hall
is
hosting
and
and
programs
that
we
have
but
also
brings
back
the
the
feedback
and
the
ideas
and
the
opinions
of
the
neighborhood.
And
so
we
talk
about
climate
change,
a
lot
and
all
the
ways
that
East
Boston
is
leading
the
way
we
have
our
environment.
Commissioner,
here
Alison
brizias,
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
E
Allison
probably
has
more
initiatives
on
her
plate
than
anyone
else
in
the
city
and
we're
so
grateful
for
her
work.
We
have
members
of
our
our
press
team
here
so
Kelly.
Thank
you
so
much
for
making
sure
we
can
communicate
with
everyone
and
I
wanted
to
introduce
in
his
third
week
now.
Fourth
week
on
the
job,
our
new
Green
New
Deal,
director
Oliver
sellers,
Garcia,.
E
Oliver,
do
you
want
to
come
up
and
just
quickly
say
a
quick
hello
since
I
know
everyone's
worked
with
everyone
else
on
our
team.
Oliver
is,
is
kind
of
helping
pull
together,
how
we
think
about
big
goals
in
the
city
and
supporting
the
work
of
our
environment,
department
and
energy
departments
and
planning
and
transportation
in
schools
and
operations.
So
we're
so
so
grateful
to
have
him
here.
B
B
Thinking
about
climate
does
not
mean
having
to
worry
about.
What's
going
to
happen
in
this
abstract,
2050
and
hoping
that
at
some
point
later,
it
will
get
better.
It's
really
I
think
so.
I'm
I'm
so
excited
to
figure
out
the
nuts
and
bolts
about
how
we
keep
doing
that
here
in
Boston
and
I.
Look
forward
to
working
with
you
I'll,
be
here
for
a
little
bit
this
evening
and
let's
chat.
