CRS Overview September 2011
Resilient Communities Are the Foundation of a Resilient America
The Community and Regional Resilience Institute (CARRI) believes that resilient communities are the foundation of a strong and resilient nation. Community resilience encompasses the full fabric of the community and its ability to resist and/or rapidly recover from extreme events.
In 2010 CARRI convened a distinct group of representatives (academia, private sector, faith-based, non-governmental, and all levels of government) to embark on the Community Resilience System Initiative (CRSI), a comprehensive undertaking to articulate the common understanding of community resilience and ultimately build a national system aimed at helping communities. This process has resulted in the development of the Community Resilience System (CRS), a practical, web-enabled process that helps communities to assess, measure, and improve their resilience to a variety of threats and disruptions of all kinds, and ultimately be rewarded for their efforts.
