Stress and Community Resilience
The Disaster Preparedness
Stress can affect community resilience and disaster preparedness by influencing emergency response, shaping recovery efforts, and impacting community cohesion. In the U.S., communities may experience stress-related challenges in preparing for and recovering from disasters.
To enhance community resilience, practice stress management techniques such as disaster preparedness planning, community engagement, and mental health support. Addressing stress fosters proactive responses to emergencies and supports overall disaster resilience.
