> What is Resiliency?
>
> Resiliency is defined as the capacity to maintain or regain functionality and vitality in the face of natural, climate-induced, or man-made stressors and disturbances.
>
> In the short term, resiliency strategies can provide communities with tools for bouncing back more quickly from extreme weather or other high-impact events.
>
> For the long term, resiliency planning provides communities with the ability to adapt and thrive despite changing environmental, social, and economic conditions.
>
> Our Mission
>
> Our mission is to launch the Community Resiliency Initiative, which serves as a hub for bringing national, state and local resources together to accelerate community resiliency planning across the diverse geographic regions of the Commonwealth.

>
> INFORM diverse leaders from government, business, and the community about natural, climate-induced and man-made risks and vulnerabilities;
> EDUCATE key groups about the models for community resiliency planning;
> ACTIVATE Virginia communities by providing tools to engage in resiliency planning.
