Resilience? What's that?

Sun. 3:30-5:00 p.m., Spruce

What is this thing called resilience and how can practitioners translate this elusive concept into practice? Panelists will discuss recent and ongoing studies of resilience and examine the concept's utility from the level of an individual household to larger communities. The studies cover a number of strategies and tools to help households, businesses, and society recover more easily and quickly from disasters.
