Design decisions for buildings and communities are critical to efforts to increase local and regional resiliency. Building designers — of residential, institutional, and commercial structures — should strive to incorporate passive and active survivability concepts into new and renovated structures.
Community planners and developers need to incorporate concepts that increase the capacity to maintain transportation flow, strategies to handle water management, and infrastructure approaches that will withstand a variety of risks.
American Resilience Project: Farm Free or Die
“Farm Free or Die,” a film by American Resilience Project, advocates for transformative agricultural policies that improve farming livelihoods and address the climate crisis.
