About This Collection
Community resiliency is the capability of a community to use available resources to respond to, withstand and recover from adaverse situtions. As Dr. Judith Rodin points out, "...that we as a global community have been spending billions in a paradigm that is predicated on disaster recovery and repair rather than one that is based on readiness, preparedness and prevention." Resiliency is a quality of sustainability.

Rebuilding Resilient Communities by Secretary Julián Castro |
U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro discussed HUD's role in post-disaster community rebuilding. Following Hurricane Sandy, HUD's approach evolved from simply restoring communities to their prior state, to guiding them in building resilience for the future. Secretary Castro expressed hope that current investments and initiatives, such as Rebuild By Design and the National Disaster Resilience Competition, will establish best practices. These examples, he noted, could then be adopted by states nationwide. (Published on Mar 16, 2015) EarthSayer Julián Castro |
