is the ability to adapt to changing conditions and be prepared to withstand, and recovery
from, disruptions due to emergencies. In recognizing and supporting resilience initiatives, the
key assessment areas are the applicants' demonstration that their approach to community
reliance is innovative, collaboration based with community stakeholders, sustainable,
