Community resilience is the sustained ability of communities to withstand, adapt to, and recover from adversity.

The Australian Local Government Association Strategic Plan identifies a key priority is to support councils and communities to prevent, prepare, respond to, and recover from natural disasters and adverse events, including drought and pandemics. This is building community resilience to respond to threats and strengthen community wellbeing and connectedness.

A resilient community is socially connected and has infrastructure that can withstand disaster and foster community recovery. Resilient communities promote individual and community wellbeing and cohesiveness to strengthen their communities for everyday, as well as extreme, challenges.

To assist community in their journey to resilience, Wingecarribee Shire Council has provided a number of tools, information and resources.

I have watched the Wingello Community Recover meeting and presenttaions by all recovery groups forming in Council. In terms of Economic Recovery, a number of artists have been impacted and supporting their ability to recover their practices, and to encourage the area as a great arts destination is vitally important - not only for the impacted the communities but the cultural wellbeing of the region as well. Please forward this email to Steve Rosa.
