FEMA will host a series of 60-minute webinar sessions to provide an overview of the National Resilience Guidance (NRG) by sections and other supplemental resilience resources.

National resilience is a complex topic and building it requires a whole community effort. The NRG offers a unifying vision of resilience and the principles and steps all communities and organizations can take to increase their resilience in every sector and discipline. The NRG strives to help everyone understand and fulfill their critical roles related to increasing national resilience.

With the goal of increasing community and national resilience, the NRG:

  • Promotes a common understanding of resilience.
  • Emphasizes the critical relationship between chronic community stressors and acute shocks.
  • Addresses the resilience roles of individuals, organizations, and all levels of government.
  • Provides an actionable approach to resilience planning and implementation.
  • Incorporates a community resilience maturity model that walks through concrete steps to build resilience.

The National Resilience Guidance emphasizes that strengthening resilience requires a collective approach.  A resilient nation is created and sustained through thriving communities with secure and adaptable social, economic, environmental, housing, infrastructure, and institutional systems.  Addressing resilience from only one perspective or through only one resilience lens will not be successful.
