A resilient community has the ability to survive an extended disconnection from the global grid in areas including:
- Energy.
- Food.
- Security (both active and passive).
- Communications.
- Transportation.
Sustainability and local production are essential elements of this.
The aim of a resilient community is:
- "...to enjoy the fruits of globalization without being completely vulnerable to its excesses." - John Robb[1]
