All,
we are attempting to assess whether or not to register for the Resilience pilot credits. From what we can see of the requirements, our project (and the upfront work already completed) will meet the necessary compliance.
My question is - BEFORE we commit to actually pursuing this credit (and assigning the resources to complete it), is there any way we can view all the documents/templates/surveys that are required?
For instance - we downloaded the Climate Resilience Screening Tool and I am mystified as to how to use it, or even if it is something that needs to be submitted.
In the same way, before we recommend to our client to pursue this pilot credit, is there a list of "stuff" that the client has to perform/provide, so we are not caught by surprise, going down this road later on?
The credit language is fairly detailed, but we have all had the experience of discovering a whole different set of requirements in the actual credit form, than what the credit language alludes to.
Thanks for any help/guidance you may have for us.
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

Hi Deborah - good questions! In terms of submittals the requirements for IP pc98 are as follows:
for Hazard assessment - submit the completed Excel spreadsheet workbook (tab 1)that is available as a download online with the credit
for Climate Resilience Planning - submit the completed spreadsheet (tab 2) in Excel workbook and a written description of how the analysis has impacted the project's Owner's Project Requirements and Basis of Design
For Emergency Preparedness Planning - Submit the two completed forms signed by Owner:
Red Cross 123 AssessmentTM Form
Red Cross Facility DescriptionTM Form
In terms of client engagement - the client would participate in review of the team's analysis and conclusions on each of the different assessments:
for Hazard assessment - Document findings and review with the client and project team. Solicit input on site-specific risk and vulnerabilities to incorporate into the preliminary analysis. Based on the project goals, program and intended service for the life of the building, identify the top three hazards for further project planning or less If fewer than three hazards are identified.
for Climate Resilience Planning : Share the vulnerability assessment and top priorities with the project team and client. Research and innovate to develop options that may reduce vulnerability or increase resilience to climate and natural resource conditions for the project. Based on this discussion, determine high priority vulnerabilities and strategy assessment with client and project team.
Note: the Climate Resilience Screening Tool is for reference only - not a required submittal.
Emergency Preparedness: completion of forms would be reviewed and signed by Owner
I hope this is helpful - please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hello! We are pursuing PC98 Assessment and Planning for Resilience. It appears that the Zip Code tool on the IBHS website isn't working (https://disastersafety.org/). I've contacted them but haven't received a response. Has anyone else had luck with this?

Rachel: The IT folks at IBHS are working on fixing this. In the meantime, you can contact Chuck Miccolis with your questions. He played a major role in developing the pilot credits. cmiccolis@ibhs.org
thanks again for letting us know about this issue.
