Many others smaller cities have web pages dedicated to resilience topics like disaster response, civic engagement, local food supply, or "green" reform".

I was reading this article ans this caught my attentio0n " women have come a long way since the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but even today they earn roughly 23 percent less than men and make up only 3 percent of the Fortune 500 chief executives.

I was reading this article and this quote caught my attention " Alternative means of trade often surface during tough economic times. "When money gets dried up and there are still needs to be met in society, people come up with creative ways to meet those needs," says Peter North, a senior lecturer in geography at the University of Liverpool and the author of two books on the subject. He refers to the "scrips" issued in the U.S. and Europe during the Great Depression that kept money flowing and… Continue

I was reading this article called Violence and Women and I found this quote interesting. “I
never tried to go to the police to complain about my husband's criminal
acts, because he threatened to kill me if I did,” Nahla told IRIN. “And

Something that was interesting was "By actively involving the local population in both the research and
analysis, we identify their existing methods for managing crises, which
then helps us develop appropriate food security strategies. In some

encouraged and reinforced—for example, a communal network of mutual
