Developer of Community Resilience Benchmarks providing communities with tools for assessing social, organizational and infrastructural resilience and identifying opportunities to improve. ANCR believes that community systems rarely, if ever, are isolated from one another. When disaster strikes, all gears in the local system must continue to function. A city with functioning electricity cannot effectively operate if the streets are impassable. A household with running water cannot be sustained if the grocery store shelves are bare. Communities are complex, interconnected systems that urgently need a way to comprehend what it means to be resilient. For a community to be resilient, it must understand the resilience of each community function and how well each community function can respond to adverse events. ANCR intends to give communities a transparent, usable, and easily understandable metric to gauge their cross-sector resilience quickly and simply.
