FEMA has released the National Resilience Guidance. The guidance offers a unifying vision of resilience and the principles and steps all communities and organizations can take to increase their resilience in every sector and discipline.
With the goal of increasing community and national resilience, the National Resilience Guidance:
- Promotes a common understanding of resilience.
- Emphasizes the critical relationship between chronic community stressors and acute shocks.
- Addresses the roles of individuals, organizations and all levels of government.
- Provides an actionable approach to resilience planning and implementation.
