- Community Resilience à Recovery – What has historically helped communities recover from this type of event? What do you surmise enhances a community’s collective ability to recover to near pre-disaster conditions? What factors have worked against community recovery or prevented barriers in the past?
- Paths to Community Resilience à Mitigation – Imagine your group is developing a Mitigation Program for that kind of disaster.What would make communities stronger and better able to survive the consequences of a disaster of this type? What could be done in advance of such an incident occurring to make communities more resilient after the fact? What would a mitigation program look like? How does this kind of mitigation activity include behavioral health resilience?
