Community resilience dividends are the positive additional outcomes of an active CRD. For example, among the most important things a person can do to prepare for a disaster is getting to know their neighbors. The CRD model promotes that activity through the Community Resilience Workbook. It is well documented that when neighbors know each other, crime in the area drops. The effort a CRD makes promoting neighborhood connections results in a neighborhood more resilient from both a disaster prep and a crime prevention approach. Therefore, if a CRD takes an orientation to community resilience broader than the one presented in this CRD Guide, work preparing for a disaster may result in other community resilience dividends. | |||
