Community Resilience
Community resilience refers to the ability of groups of people to respond to and recover from adverse situations, such as natural disasters, acts of violence, economic hardship, and other challenges to their community. In a significant emergency, traditional support structures will likely be overloaded or unavailable in the short term. Neighborhoods of Los Altos and surrounding areas need to be prepared to cope with these situations.
Resilient Los Altos works in the community with residents and key support groups with a focus on emergency preparedness
The good news: you are more prepared than you think you are and we guide through having your family and/or business ready.
