Welcome to the Community Resiliency and Outreach
The County of Alameda Emergency Management Association is pleased to introduce the Community Resiliency and Outreach Public Dashboard, a centralized hub designed to provide shareable information to emergency managers, networks and community groups.
Your Source for Vital Information
This platform is a comprehensive resource, providing information on how community members can prepare for and stay safe during disasters. It will allow emergency managers and members of the public to stay informed about emergency preparedness, community initiatives, and ongoing efforts to enhance the safety and welfare of our residents.
Building a Stronger Community Together
We encourage organizational representatives to explore the dashboard regularly, discover pertinent information, and actively share these resources with their networks. Coming together strengthens our capacity to face challenges and create a safer, more resilient environment.

WHAT IS COMMUNITY RESILIENCE?
Community resilience is the capacity of the community as a whole to prepare for, respond to, and recover from adverse events and unanticipated crises that threaten the health of all. Achieving community resilience means involving the full range of community-based organizations and agencies in preparedness, response, and recovery planning activities, and broadening the understanding of disaster preparedness to include community health and well-being.
Community resilience is about transforming disaster planning and response from just "me" to include "we."
