An RSI Managing Risk method
Resilience-building investments
Resilience-building investments is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better manage risk.
Broadly
Resilience-building investments are capital or operational expenditures intended to reduce vulnerability and enhance adaptive capacity. Examples include flood barriers, emergency operations centers, redundant power systems, or community preparedness programs. These investments must balance up-front costs with long-term benefits and be coordinated across sectors and timelines.

The firm ensures investments are integrated into broader planning frameworks and tailored to local conditions. RSI also helps clients monitor performance and co-benefits, strengthening accountability and political sustainability.
