Welcome to Resilient Virginia

Advancing whole-community resilience through collaboration, learning, and action.

Community Strong. Systems Smart.

Resilient Virginia helps communities, organizations, and partners across the Commonwealth understand resilience challenges, strengthen capacity, connect resources, and move from ideas and planning toward practical action.

We combine statewide programs, learning opportunities, partnerships, data, and resources with hands-on services that support resilience at the community, regional, and organizational level.

Through our Resilience Lab, Collaborative Alliance, Be Resilient Virginia Dashboard, Annual Conference, Partnership Network, and professional services, we create pathways for people to learn, connect, plan, and act – while strengthening the systems and relationships needed for long-term resilience.
