Commissioned by the State of Michigan, this report offers guidance on developing community resilience hubs across the state. These hubs are trusted, community-serving spaces that strengthen local capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters, while also providing essential services during everyday conditions. Building on existing efforts in Michigan and nationwide, this report outlines local resilience needs, offers recommendations for both blue-sky (everyday) and black-sky (disaster or power outage events) programming, outlines criteria for siting, and presents technical guidance on integrating resilient power systems, such as solar and battery storage. The report aims to equip communities, local governments, and organizations with the tools to create hubs that are responsive to community priorities and effective in the face of increasing climate-related risks.
