This course examines the ability of a community to use its assets to strengthen public health and healthcare systems and to improve the community's physical, behavioral, and social health to withstand, adapt to, and recover from adversity. This course provides learners with opportunity to expand their knowledge beyond the traditional preparedness approach by creating actions that build readiness while also promoting strong community systems and addressing the many factors that contribute to health. Key preparedness activities are reinforced with resilience factors to improve everyday health, wellness, and community systems.
