About the Science and Technology Base  

 

 The AGRR has developed a Resilience System (RS) from almost four decades of data collection, modeling, and global intelligent networks associated with community and social pilots focused on the challenges to health, human security, and sustainability. This RS includes the Disaster Resilience Initiative (DRI), a five-phase collectively-designed community-centered and long-term disaster resilience strategy, which engages the most vulnerable community members and their advocates in group problem-solving, capacity-building, risk prevention, response, recovery, and regenerative development.   

 

The DRI has been implemented in the United States of America – Florida, New York — and other countries, including Dominica, Haiti, Liberia, and others. The design of the DRI, divided into five phases and ten layers, facilitates elevating the voices of communities, creating social cohesion, training on technical skills and leadership, generating community-lead solutions, among others.  

Disaster Resilience Initiative Process Model  

 

The Five Phases (Objectives) of the initiative are: 

 

1: Elevating the Voices of Vulnerable Communities 

 

2: Collaborative Systems for Preparedness & Response

 

3: Resolving Mission Critical Gaps       

 

4: Establishing Communities of Opportunity with Social Equity

 

5: Building a Blue-Green Political Economy for Regeneration
