The State of Resilience: A leadership Forum and Community Workshop
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has released a summary the presentations and discussions from a June 28-29, 2016, workshop that explored the results of years of investment, experimentation, and research in building resilience and examined experiences in building more resilient communities.
Over the past decade, resilience has gained significant traction across the nation and innovative programs are showing exciting progress in building resilient communities. For communities to be prepared for future extreme weather and climate events, as well as the chronic daily stressors, the momentum of implementing and taking action to build community resilience should continue to be fostered and expanded.
TRB is one of seven major programs of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
