Economic Resilience

ECONOMIC RESILIENCE: What is it and how do we foster it?

Economic resilience is a mindset and incorporates a variety of stakeholders from interdependent sectors.  Resilience is not what you have, it is what you do- and this course explains how it works with recovery and response following a major economic disruption or disaster.  We provide the fundamental concepts and foundation that need to be in place to embrace resilience and wrap up the course with two very different examples of economic resilience and how they were uniquely fostered.
