Prior to starting the Workbook, PBEM relied on Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) as the go-to community resilience curriculum. But MYN had a number of problems: it was (weirdly) copyrighted, it was poorly designed for simple printing (meaning the public had to rely on PBEM to print them copies), several of its concepts were outdated, it was not produced with an equity lens, and it was available only in English. Facilitator guidance did exist as a series of videos, but they were difficult to find because the videos were often taken down from YouTube (possibly because of the copyrighting). | Prior to starting the Workbook, PBEM relied on Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) as the go-to community resilience curriculum.

Everyone on PBEM's Community Resilience Team recognized the need to replace MYN as soon as possible. Regina Ingabire led the effort and began development with a series of focus groups in late summer 2018. | |||
