Enabling, empowering, and supporting community resilience is one of the priorities for the National Disaster Resilience Strategy of New Zealand.
This priority focuses on identifying and monitoring risks to NZ wellbeing, actions to reduce risk, and ensuring informative tools are available to assist decisions about resilience.
However, turning resilience theory into practical action has, until recently, been difficult to achieve.
Building community resilience requires a high skill level and understanding to navigate such diverse communities and complex issues. The Coastal Community Resilience Guide (CCRG) is one such approach where the process and elements of resilience are examined and implemented together.
