A resilient community has the ability to survive an extended disconnection from the global grid in areas including:
– Energy
– Food
– Security (both active and passive)
– Communications
– Transportation
Sustainability and local production are essential elements of this. The aim of a resilient community is: “…to enjoy the fruits of globalization without being completely vulnerable to its excesses.” – John Robb
