The idea of the Community Resilience District ("CRD") came from volunteers who wanted to provide different ways to organize a NET that were not dictated by the boundaries of neighborhood associations. The CRD concept not only offers this alternative but also encourages the formation of operational teams at a block scale, centralizes the administrative functions of a NET, and promotes the recruitment of Affiliated Team Volunteers (ATVs). This article focuses on explaining the roles and responsibilities of CRDs and NETs. The tone may sound directive, but the intention is for communities to adopt the elements that make sense to them and discard those that don't. Nothing in this article should be treated as prescriptive. | The idea of the Community Resilience District ("CRD") came from volunteers who wanted to provide different ways to organize a NET that were not dictated by the boundaries of neighborhood associations.
