About Making Resilience Cool

Making Resilience Cool is a podcast brought to you by the US Resiliency Council, based on the 12-episode Resilience Advantage series created by the USRC with the generous support of Optimum Seismic. This podcast targets students, young engineers and anyone who wants to learn more about how they can contribute to and be leaders in the movement to make our buildings and communities more resilient to natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and wildfire. Evan Reis, a Structural Engineer and the co-founder of the USRC, walks us through different aspects of resilience, and interviews special guests that include engineers, architects, business and community leaders, and sustainability experts, who share their insights on the importance of resilient design. The podcast is hosted by Audrey Luu, a Senior Architectural Engineering student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, who brings a fresh and enthusiastic perspective on resilience to listeners.
