Resilient305 ArcGIS Hub Data-Sharing Platform

Solution Overview

Miami-Dade County collaborated with Greater Miami and the Beaches municipalities to create a Resilient305 data-driven initiative on ArcGIS Hub, a cloud-based platform designed to share open data, interact with users, and provide progress updates on action items in the Resilient305 Strategy.[1] This approach enables GM&B municipalities to request access to the latest resilience data and create their own initiatives, facilitating data sharing and improving intergovernmental collaboration.[1][3] The platform creates an opportunity to help keep the general community updated on the progress of the Resilient305 Strategy.[1]

Technical Components

The implementation utilizes ArcGIS Hub as its core cloud-based platform infrastructure.[1] To help launch the Resilient305 actions, the GM&B team created an advisory group of potential municipal representatives and community members to help set expectations for the initiative, inventory existing data, and advise creation of materials and data for the Resilient305 ArcGIS Hub.[1] The platform architecture supports open data sharing capabilities that allow GM&B municipalities to request access to the latest resilience data and create their own initiatives.[1][3]

Implementation Details

Action 52: Create a Resilient305 ArcGIS Hub was designated with an immediate timeframe of 0-1 year for implementation.[1] The initiative is partially funded via Miami-Dade County staff time, though the update of ArcGIS Hub post-launch remains unfunded.[1] The Resilient305 Strategy network expanded to include 29 municipalities that signed the Mayor's Pledge to support the strategy in the first year after launch.[2] Greater Miami and the Beaches became the first community partner of the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center.[2] In addition to the 29 participating municipalities, the network includes 24 action partners.[2]

Benefits and Impacts

The platform improves communication with residents, increases understanding of resilience, and streamlines government processes.[1] Performance metrics for Action 52 include the number of Hub users and the number of GM&B municipalities participating in the Hub.[1] The system facilitates data sharing and improves intergovernmental collaboration by enabling municipalities to request access to the latest resilience data and create their own initiatives.[1][3]

Climate Adaptation Relevance

This data-sharing platform supports the broader Resilient305 Strategy by providing municipalities and community members with access to resilience information and progress tracking capabilities.[1] The hub enables coordinated climate adaptation planning across the Greater Miami and the Beaches region through improved data access and intergovernmental collaboration.[1][3]

Business Analysis

The funding model relies on Miami-Dade County staff time for initial implementation, though ongoing platform updates post-launch remain unfunded, presenting a sustainability challenge.[1] The initiative leverages existing cloud-based infrastructure through ArcGIS Hub, reducing capital expenditure requirements.[1] The partnership structure includes 24 action partners and 29 municipalities that signed the Mayor's Pledge, creating a collaborative governance model for regional resilience planning.[2] The platform's connection to the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center as the first community partner provides access to additional technical resources and expertise.[2]
