Resilience Resources

Resilience Resources

Food resource resilience display at the Corvallis Public Library by the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition's Food Action Team Garden GroupWhat is food resilience?
Resilience is the ability of individuals and communities to maintain healthy functioning in the face of natural disasters and social disruptions. Since the food supply in most communities will only last three days after a major disruption, it is the responsibility of individuals, families and neighborhoods to prepare and store supplies of food and other necessities of life.

Why does this matter?
Most people in the Pacific Northwest are aware of the danger of a massive earthquake. Other possible catastrophes include floods, energy shortages and other impacts that cut off supply chains.

What is the Food Action Team’s Edible Garden Group doing about it?
We are networking with neighborhood and regional preparedness groups, to provide information on how residents can prepare emergency food supplies and learn about responses to catastrophic infrastructure failures. We also encourage self-sufficiency through home food production, preservation and storage.

How you can get prepared

  1. Use the links below to learn more about food resilience and related topics
