Resilient Tulsa is the result of the work of more than 2,000 individuals of all backgrounds, providing a robust image of the city’s diversity of experiences. These collaborations and proactive partnerships were vital in creating equitable goals and actions that are both aspirational and achievable. Resilient Tulsa serves as the guidebook and cohesive vision to unite Tulsans. Through collaboration and a shared commitment, Tulsa can take its rightful place as a world-class city for all people.
Since the launch of Resilient Tulsa in June 2018, it has helped bring awareness of what it means to be a resilient city and has created opportunities for many Tulsans to be involved in the work of creating a more equitable city. The actions outlined in the Resilient Tulsa Strategy, along with the release of the Equality Indicators report, have spurred open and honest dialogue among all Tulsans about the city we want to create.
Mayor G.T. Bynum identified the Resilient Tulsa process and ultimate plan as a key tool for use in addressing shocks, such as disasters, and stressors in the community, such as social, economic and racial disparity. Racial equity is the city’s core underlying resilience challenge, and the Resilient Tulsa plan addresses critical challenges ranging from economic inequality to disaster preparedness to access to quality education and jobs. This Resilient Tulsa Update highlights some of the action steps that have been completed in the last year. The Mayor’s Office of Resilience and Equity has been under the direction of Krystal Reyes since May, 2019.
Tulsa is now the first city in Oklahoma to become Certified Welcoming, a formal designation given to cities by Welcoming America as it relates to practices and programs that reflects our city's values and commitment to immigrant inclusion.
