cohesive + resilient
When combined, communities minimize the impact of external shocks. Communities are then able to withstand stress without degrading. This is achieved through redundant, interchangeable resources that can be suitable for multiple uses. It takes an expansion of resources and a diversification of skill sets and assets to ensure that a community can react, respond, and ultimately adapt in a time of crisis. While Gateway is cohesive, increasing resiliency through a broadening of resources and experiences would better position Gateway to succeed and thrive when crisis strikes.
