4 Million to Build Resilience in Gulf Coast Communities Fellowships, Grants & Awards The report Advancing Health and Community Resilience in the Gulf of Mexico Region: A Roadmap for Progress outlines actions that can reduce the impacts of disasters on communities. Among these actions is a call for building the capacity of communities to collaborate on issues that affect their health and resilience before, during, and after disasters.
Specifically, the report calls for collaborations that are developed with communities, focus on specific priorities, support learning and engagement, integrate with existing community activities, build on the strengths within the communities, and bring in new resources (such as data and funding). Lastly, the report encourages the use of innovative and potentially transformative approaches to capacity building.
