Resilient communities aren't the ones that avoid disruption — every community faces it eventually. The difference is what's already in place before the disruption hits: relationships, shared knowledge, and a way for people to find each other quickly.
None of that shows up in a moment of crisis by accident. It's built in ordinary time, through the same small, unremarkable connections that make a place feel like a community in the first place.
