Community Resilience

Being Prepared, Self-Help and Responding to Events

We are all aware and recognise that when "events" occur, it may not always be possible for emergency or other public services to always be available as quickly as we might think possible.  Events which are across a wide area or affecting many communities at the same time stretch everyone involved.  Communities who are prepared, are able to mobilise self-help can help until services are able to respond.  Their interactions may also help during the recovery phases.
