#1 - Keep our families, communities and our most fragile residents ("vulnerable populations") safe
#2 - Communities that work and plan together, act faster and recover quicker
#3 - Resilient communities are more connected, more likely to help each other, and recover faster after emergencies

#5 - Reduce stress on health care systems
A Resilient Community Can:
- Bounce back quickly—strengthening health, social and economic systems
- Use assets and resources quickly
- Work together with government and organizations to create a safer and more prepared neighborhood
- Ensure that the needs of vulnerable populations are addressed
- Learn from past events to be better prepared for the future
