We have all recognized the importance of building resilience in territory in order to withstand, and quickly rebound from, disasters. Now, we must figure out how to make resilience a reality.
Both of our guest speakers were former Chief Resilience Officers of Dominica (Pep) and Boston (Atyia). They have first-hand experience in operationalizing resilience in government agencies so that both places could be in a better position to handle shocks and stressors. Their experience will give us great insight on to what is required to "achieve" resilience, and what barriers need to be overcome.
