Community Resilience
What is community resilience?
In Oregon, neighbors look out for each other. As wildfires and extreme weather surge across Oregon, strong communities are key to staying safe and connected. Community resilience means thriving together, not just surviving.
Frontline communities have always found ways to care for one another despite pollution, poverty, and systemic harm. A Just Transition builds on this work by shifting power and resources away from fossil fuels to build community resilience.
This means means clean air and water, affordable energy, safe homes, strong food systems, and neighbors who’ve got each other’s backs. It’s a future built on justice, care, and connection for the long term.
Thanks to our advocacy, Community Resilience Hubs has provided $10 million to help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from climate disasters.
