The Resiliency Forum

The Resiliency Forum focuses on ensuring the ability of developed societies to function adequately even when experiencing abnormal stress or pressure.

The developed world is accustomed to the reliable provision of power, fuel, labour, communications and other essentials and, unused to shortages or interruption, has become highly dependent on those. Yet as experience shows, that reliability can not always be taken for granted. The consequences of unreliability have been exposed by unusual events in recent years, showing how poorly equipped most administrations are to deal with large scale disruption. Extreme weather events and the emergence of novel pandemic disease have shown that old assumptions do not necessarily hold true for ever.

Our goal is to achieve a more resilient society which copes with that unreliability and continues to work as well as possible even in the face of significant stress, planned or unplanned.

This site explains how and why we want to become resilient and provides practical guidance on how improve resiliency at all strata of society through preparedness and forward thinking. The focus in not merely on personal, but societal and corporate effort working jointly together to mitigate or eliminate unwanted consequences.
