WHAT IS
RESILIENCY?

Resilience is the capacity of communities to withstand shocks, adapt to change, and transform in ways that preserve essential functions, identity, and structure.

It's not about returning to how things were—it's about evolving toward more equitable, sustainable, and interconnected systems.
