Introduction: The Philadelphia Resilience System

The Philadelphia Resilience System advances our overall regional resilience by providing a forum to bring together and discuss plans, programs, resources and relationships that increase the capacity of individuals, organizations and communities to collectively solve problems and take advantage of opportunities. As a non-profit civic initiative, it is also the expectation that parties interested in emergency preparedness and disaster response will contribute links and comments that highlight both the assets and the risks evident in our region. 

Inclusiveness is a key aspect of this initiative. Conceiving of resilience as having the following facets, we hope to offer concerned individuals and stakeholder organizations from the Philadelphia Region a relevant resource and point of entry with which to join the dialogue: *Environmental & *Water/ Food *Preparedness/ Responder Infrastructure *Regional Resiliency Assets * Chemical & Biological * Social & Economic * Weather

Please take a look, register to contribute your thoughts or links and join the effort to build our region's resiliency!
