Community Resilience Indicators and National-Level Measures: A Draft Interagency Concept

There is broad interest in the United States in identifying key factors of community resilience and understanding where we stand as a Nation related to those factors so that we can develop better-informed capacity-building strategies. The Mitigation Framework Leadership Group (MitFLG) has developed a draft concept with potential indicators and measures of community resilience that may be considered by a variety of users when evaluating how to improve communities’ ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.  Information on the draft concept can be accessed from this page.  The MitFLG encourages stakeholders to provide comments on this draft approach.
