A quote: Over the course of ten months *Resilient Nation *will focus on the following research areas: mapping the geography of risk in the UK; identifying the capacity of local authorities to respond to risks; analysing the flow of information across actors via formal and informal relationships; describing bottom-up approaches to resilience and how they can be supported by central government; and lastly understanding the role of civic engagement and leadership in building resilience across communities. If there is any interest in extending Pamela's work to something like Resilient Nation (or looking at the feasibility of it) please let me know.
