Community Resilience Measure.

Thinking about Your Community’s Plan Overall, Please Answer the Following Questions:
Priority Vulnerable Community Members (Levers addressed: Engagement, Organizational Partnerships) Who are your most vulnerable community members? What mapping tool or other processes are you using to identify those vulnerable community members and where they are concentrated? What are the limitations these vulnerable community members have in either mobility, communications or resources that make them particularly vulnerable in a disaster? How are you including those vulnerable members in your planning process? (Planning “with” not “for” them.) What are the assets, resources, and networks that vulnerable community members already have and how are you using them in your resilience plan?
Understanding Your Community (Levers addressed: Engagement, Organizational Partnerships, Self-Sufficiency) What mapping tool or other process are you using to identify the hazards in your community? What mapping tool or other process are you using to identify your community’s resources? How are you using the information you collected to get your neighbors and your community prepared, ready to respond, and able to recover from a disaster or emergency? How are you encouraging neighbor to neighbor discussion or planning to support one another in a disaster or emergency?
Important Sectors in your Community (Levers addressed: Engagement, Organizational Partnerships, Self-Sufficiency) How are you getting organizations and agencies from the CDC 11 sectors involved in the coalition? List the types of organizations you’ve identified (those you already have, those you wish to still bring onboard)? What roles do they play in the coalition (i.e., leading or supporting activities)? How are you using the services and resources that these organizations and agencies bring in your community? How are you coordinating the work of first responders and community members to avoid overlap and keep information flowing and lines of communication open?
Recovery (Levers addressed: Organizational Partnerships, Self-Sufficiency) How are you planning to help families, neighborhoods, and the community as a whole recover? How will organizations and agencies in your community continue to help their current clients as well as the wider community, too? How are organizations and agencies in your community involved in planning for the recovery process?
