Share. Discover. Respond.

Working together to build community resilience in Maricopa County. 

The Knowledge Exchange For Resilience

 

The mission of the Knowledge Exchange for Resilience is to support Maricopa County, Arizona by sharing knowledge, catalyzing discovery, and exchanging responses to challenges together, in order to build community resilience. We work to advance social cohesion, promote economic prosperity, and enhance environmental security to create profound and enduring change that brings resilience dividends.

 

Share

The heart of our concept is to create a space for diverse people from across sectors to share knowledge and data. 

 

Discover

The exchange creates opportunities to discover gaps, liberate data, and learn ways to better work together. 

 

Respond

The approach helps us support resilient responses that bring short and long-term dividends. 

What is community resilience?

 

We define community resilience as the capacity for communities, institutions, and individuals to respond and adapt to shocks and long-term stresses. These shocks and stressors can occur broadly to society, economic systems, and to the physical environment.

How do we approach this challenge in a world that is changing so rapidly? Watch our video to discover the unique power of a coordinated knowledge exchange.
