I think a community’s resilience highly depends on how familiar the community members are with each other, and how comfortable it is for them to be helping each other out and also reach out for help in difficult times.
The difference between community resilience and personal resilience lies in the problems faced by a community versus an individual. I’m not sure if I could come up with an example but in the community I used to live in during elementary school, there used to be community-based flea markets and also spring festival galas which I used to participate in. I think this helps reduce waste to some extent and also forms bonds among the members.
I wasn’t totally sure about any CBOs or how to engage in the community board meetings since I am very new to where I’m living in rn, but the community events I notices includes: karaoke night, Christmas market, food trucks etc.
