Resilient Communities
Resilient Communities enables local residents to identify community driven solutions that build resilience during natural disasters and is a collaboration with local disaster management service.
Making change together is easier than doing it by yourself.
Many people are feeling isolated, vulnerable and fatigues following a series of recent disasters.
Resilient Communities is a program that empowers and connects us to walk to a more positive future together.
What We Do
Resilient Communities works in three ways to support and empower people to respond to the impacts of climate change in their homes and their communities.
