Resilient communities will be those that incorporate disaster planning and management into everyday actions, taking care to move people out of harm’s way and create capacity and networks that allow community members to respond quickly and effectively. Research and experience have shown that the key to community resilience is a strong community fabric, where citizens and organizations with a stake in reducing the impact of disasters are acting in concert.
