More frequent and extreme heat waves, droughts, floods, and storms threaten our communities. Are local governments prepared for the challenge? What steps is your town or city taking to become stronger and more resilient? You can play a role in making your own community more resilient. Talk to your local officials about what they are doing new in response to climate change and extreme weather and how they are addressing energy security through renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives. Ask your local elected officials to sign the Resilient Communities for America Agreement and join other leading cities and counties to protect their communities. Become a more resilient community member by knowing your neighbors and becoming involved in your community. Find out more at Resilient Communities for America, www.resilientamerica.org.
