The Future of Resilience Hubs in Oakland

Resilience hubs in Oakland are planned to support frontline communities to become stronger, more self-determining, socially connected, and successful before, during, and after disruptions. Resilience hub facilities have backup sources of energy, heating, cooling, and air filtration. They may have green infrastructure, such as reducing carbon pollution, providing green space, and utilizing grey water systems. In addition to municipal projects, community-based organizations throughout Oakland are implementing resilience hub activities. Check this page for more information about Resilience Hubs in general and for information on how Oakland plans to develop them here, in our community.

Triangle Incident Response

Crisis responders from the DVP and violence interrupters from DVP-funded organizations respond within one hour of activation to shootings in Oakland that are related to network conflicts or gender-based violence (GBV). This process is known as the Triangle Incident Response, and it is initiated when the DVP receives a notification of a shooting from the Oakland Police Department. The DVP maintains a staff of three individuals who respond to incidents related to network conflicts and three individuals who respond to incidents related to GBV. These staff are assigned to respond on a rotating schedule by day of the week, with one network responder and one GBV responder on call at all times. Violence interrupters employed by DVP-funded organizations are similarly assigned to respond based on days of the week and regions of Oakland.

Community Engagement Teams

Community engagement team (CET) members are individuals with lived experience and deep community ties. CET members perform outreach to individuals and families in hot spot areas in order to proactively mediate conflicts and engage individuals in services, deliver cognitive behavioral skills training, and connect individuals to needed services.
