Stress and Community Resilience
The Disaster Recovery
Stress can affect community resilience and disaster recovery efforts by hindering recovery processes, influencing community cohesion, and impacting emergency response. In the U.S., communities may experience stress-related challenges in rebuilding after disasters.
To enhance community resilience, practice stress management techniques such as community preparedness planning, fostering social support networks, and promoting mental health resources. Addressing stress fosters community strength and supports effective disaster recovery initiatives.
