Urban resilience

Urban resilience is the ability of a city or town to prepare for and bounce back from tough times or sudden emergencies. This means it can handle things like natural disasters or other major disruptions, like power outages, flooding, or a pandemic. To be resilient, a city has to have good plans in place for how to handle these things, as well as the resources it needs. This could be things like emergency shelters, medical supplies, first responders, shelters for animals and other important services. It also means having a good relationship between the city, businesses, and citizens so everyone can work together to stay safe and get through the tough times.
