In the fall of 2018, the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (the Compact), in partnership with the Department of Energy’s Southeast Combined Heat and Power Technical Assistance Partnership, convened regional stakeholders—including local government staff, non-profit organizations, utility representatives, and institutional building facility managers—to learn from local and national resilient energy system experts during a two day-long implementation workshop titled Resilient Energy Systems. The convening is part of a workshop series designed to advance the implementation of the Climate Compact’s Regional Climate Action Plan and specifically focused on recommendations from the Energy and Fuel and Risk Reduction and Emergency Management chapters. This guidance report builds upon and supports the content presented at that workshop with the goal of providing local government staff and other stakeholders with a basic grounding in this topic.
