Being Part of a Resilient Community – The Role of the Organization in the Community - OR3095
Course Description:
Being Part of a Resilient Community – the Role of the Organization in the Community is the tenth and final course in the Essentials of Organizational Resilience Series.
Resilience is not something that can be achieved by any one organization or infrastructure system acting in isolation. Organizations are required to work together toward system resilience in order to build resilient communities.
The organization must look at its role in the community and how to deliver its goods and services under any conditions in order to be able to survive and also to contribute to the rest of the community. Communities do not exist in isolation. The level of a community’s resilience is influenced by capacities outside the community, in particular by emergency management services but also by other social and administrative services, public infrastructure and a web of socio-economic and political linkages with the wider world.
This course delves into best practice recommendations for analyzing the role of your organization in each community it resides and offering examples of best practices of public/private partnerships working toward community resilience.
