FEMA’s National Resilience GuidanceFEMA’s National Resilience Guidance focuses on actionable principles to create a more resilient nation from identifying threats to working collaboratively towards sustainable solutions.

The Guidance offers a unifying vision of resilience and the principles and steps all communities and organizations can take to increase their resilience in every sector and discipline. It explains the critical relationship between chronic community stressors and shocks. Importantly, the Guidance addresses resilience actions that are scalable for implementation by all stakeholders.

The Guidance was developed through extensive stakeholder outreach and input from across federal, state, local, tribal, territorial governments, non-profit associations, emergency managers, faith organizations and community groups. The resulting guidance promotes a common understanding of resilience and addresses resilience planning and implementation across communities.
