Resilient communities

A resilient community has the ability to survive an extended disconnection from the global grid in areas including:

• Energy.
• Food.
• Security (both active and passive).
• Communications.
• Transportation.

Sustainability and local production are essential elements of this.

The aim of a resilient community is:

"...to enjoy the fruits of globalization without being completely vulnerable to its excesses." - John Robb
