While squarely confronting the scale of the risks the world faces because of climate change, Building a Resilient Tomorrow focuses on solutions—some gradual and some more revolutionary—currently being deployed around the globe.

For three years beginning in 2013, Hill served in several positions for the National Security Council in the White House, including managing a team of National Security Council Directors, and developed Federal policies regarding national preparedness for all hazards of global consequence, including climate. She was honored with the Meta-Leader of the Year award from Harvard University's National Preparedness Leadership Initiative.

In 2009, Hill was asked to serve as Senior Counselor to the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Janet Napolitano, helping guide senior leadership of DHS agencies, briefing Congress, and leading and establishing DHS-wide programs. She led the review of policy regarding creation of the cybersecurity workforce, sexual assault in the military, and legal requirements for terrorism protection, and founded and led the anti-human trafficking initiative, Blue Campaign. She also oversaw the realignment of DHS international presence in forty-two countries and the development of strategic plans and policies regarding catastrophic biological and chemical incidents ranging from pandemics to weapons of mass destruction. In addition she served ex officio the federal advisory committee for the Third National Climate Assessment.

In 1995, Governor Pete Wilson (R) appointed Hill as a judge of the Los Angeles Municipal Court where she served as supervising judge of the San Fernando Court. In 2000, she became a Los Angeles County superior court judge, eventually serving as the supervising judge of the North Valley District where she oversaw the operations of three courthouses and approximately thirty judges and commissioners. Her fellow judges elected her to the Los Angeles Superior Court Executive Committee and the San Fernando Valley Bar Association named her Judge of the Year in 2004.
