The Community Resilience Team (CRT) is devoted to describing the interconnected network of systems that directly affect human society at a grassroots community level, including the socioeconomic, ecological, and built environments. In its broadest application, resilience describes how well a community is able to adapt positively when faced with extreme events, adversity, and cope with abnormal or unexpected threats without changing beyond recognition.
