Resilience Alliance
Building internal resilience and preparedness in the case of emergency
The Strategy
The Resilience Alliance is a network of Hawai'i Island non-governmental organizations and businesses committed to building internal resilience and preparedness in the case of emergency. In times of crisis, it mobilizes to support the Hawai'i Island community by facilitating communication and distribution of resources to affected community members.

"In the face of increasing challenges posed by natural disasters, it is imperative for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and businesses alike to join forces in fortifying our community's resilience. Our past experiences have shown us that effective preparation and coordination are key to mitigating the impact of such calamities and potentially expediting recovery. I invite you to participate in our upcoming gathering, where we will convene to share best practices, establish network communication channels, and develop protocols for information sharing.
By bringing together a diverse array of stakeholders from both the NGO and business sectors, we aim to foster a culture of collaboration and innovation. Through our collective efforts, we can not only enhance our preparedness for future disasters but also pave the way for a more resilient and sustainable future for Hawaiʻi."
