Climate Resilience & Adaptation
"Community resilience is the ability of a community to prepare for, withstand, and respond to adverse situations. True resilience requires a combination of numerous skillsets and capacities in four primary areas: 1) Basic Needs & Emergency Preparedness; 2) Environment & Natural Systems; 3) Physical Infrastructure and 4) Community Connections & Capacity. The actual skills, characteristics and qualities are different in every community."
