Building
Resilient Communities: An Online Training
Emergency preparedness can get a community
through the first few days following a disaster. But how does a community
bounce back over the long term?
With disasters becoming more common and
costly, and with some areas enduring overlapping disasters, the importance
of building community resilience has never been greater.
As a business, nonprofit, faith-based
organization, or other community organization, you bring valuable assets to
supporting overall community recovery.
Resilience means:
·
mitigating and withstanding the stress of manmade and natural
disasters
·
recovering in a way that restores normal functioning
·
applying
lessons learned from past
responses to better withstand future
incidents.
When your organization or community
completes this training, you will have a real action plan that will help
build resilience, bolstering capacity to respond to and recover from
disaster.
