Six steps to
resilience

Learning & Inspiring

Summary

Being disaster resilient means learning and continuously improving our preparedness plans.

Building disaster resilient is an ongoing process that requires updating plans for disasters and emergencies, testing plans and improving plans. A key part of improving plans is being well connected and up to date so it is important to participate in local events that help you and others prepare for disasters and emergencies and to share what you have learned with others
