About Resilience Hubs

You can learn how Resilience Hubs build long-term community resilience. They offer year-round programs, resources, and a place to connect.

Overview

With more unpredictable storms and hotter summers, our residents are being exposed to more hazards than ever before. This is especially true for BIPOC and low-income residents that are feeling the worst of the impacts from:

  • Extreme heat
  • Air pollution
  • Severe storms

This is why Resilience Hubs are being developed in our neighborhoods in and around our Green Zones.
