I'd expect that Boston is actually likely to be a fairly resilient city. On a port, access to a (now relatively healthy) waterway. On major rail routes. Moderately walkable. Decent public transit. Fairly strong civil and medical services. Not located in an area that's geologically active. Some concerns about flooding, but otherwise little concern about storm-related disasters.
I couldn't find a centralized summary of Boston's plan for resilience, but there seem to be a large number of efforts or organizations that work towards that goal. Among them:
Not to say that it's a bad idea for cities to summarize their goals in long-term resilience plans, but it's important to remember just how many systems are involved in keeping a city strong and resilient.
