Community Resilience

A joint initiative of local groups to address the key resilience issues, e.g food, water, etc

Resilience at home and in the community
Facing up to the increasing challenges from climate extremes, cost-of-living, and international tensions
If you watch the news, or notice recent weather, heat and water extremes, or have seen or heard of the People’s Emergency Briefing, then it’s hard not to feel concerned about the future. Much of what is going on may feel global, and too big: beyond your control. This can lead to a feeling of helplessness.
But in these web pages we describe how you can actively control how the challenges impact on you and your family, and how you can work with others around you to make your community stronger and more able to deal with these challenges.
We believe that Community can and will become the centre of resilience and stability in a sea of change and new challenges, whether they are personal, national, or global.
 
Below are some links to advice on simple low-cost measures you can take for your home and family, as well as community groups and activities that will help build community resilience.
