Cohousing-L Mailing List: Community resilience and emergency preparedness

[eva (eva]

On August 20th, our forming cohousing group, Newt Crossing, will have a 
booth at our local All County Picnic, which has a theme of community 
resilience and emergency preparedness. Here's the event site: 
https://theproductionalliance.org/events/all-county-picnic

We want to showcase and discuss with people how cohousing in general 
helps its members be resilient and prepared for emergencies.

Here's the ask:

Can folks send me brief bullet points on how your community helps its 
members (and maybe even non-cohousing neighbors) be resilient and 
prepared for emergencies? Covid is a great example - how were your 
members better off being in cohousing? Or other types of emergencies?

If someone wants to send longer anecdotes on this topic, that would be 
welcome.

I will put these all together in a binder that people can peruse to 
better understand how cohousing is indeed "high functioning 
neighborhoods."

Thank you,

Eva Holm
