Community & Regional Resilience Institute (CARRI) St. Louis Region Pilot

The Community and Regional Resilience Institute (CARRI) www.resilientus.org/ is dedicated to research and practical application across the full continuum of prevention, protection, response and recovery to enhance the resilience of communities and regions. CARRI seeks to assist the nation in developing an accepted, common framework for community and regional resilience that integrates the full suite of community resources into a coherent resilience pathway so that the community can get back on its feet following a natural or man-made disaster as quickly as possible. The HCP is currently collaborating with CARRI and a St. Louis Leadership Steering Committee to implement a pilot community continuity and resilience program for the St. Louis Region. An initial orientation was held in October 2012 to present the CARRI assessment model and to develop next steps for full scale implementation in January 2012.
