The Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) is leading an initiative to better prepare San Francisco for the next recession by developing the first-ever municipal Economic Resiliency and Recovery Plan. They have modeled the effects of different recession scenarios and are developing recommendations to prepare for and respond to a recession given that once a recession begins, there is a limited window of six to nine months to implement effective economic countermeasures. San Francisco will develop an economic resilience plan to act to counter recessionary trends before that window expires.
