Pathway to Resilience – A Guide to Developing a Community Action Plan
We are now witnessing unprecedented losses of life and property from natural disasters, and it’s imperative that we implement community-based action plans to mitigate the devastating effects of natural hazards such as earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. To help its members meet the challenge, NRMCA has developed a guiding document to help communities address these increased risks.
Called Pathway to Resilience – A Guide to Developing a Community Action Plan, the guide offers the overarching goal of supporting and advancing resilience in the future construction of buildings and critical infrastructure. The two main approaches to disaster mitigation include voluntary, community-based construction and communication enhancement strategies, and adoption of stricter standards for the construction of buildings and infrastructure with the objective of reducing losses.
