During these discussions, community members will learn about resilience hubs and how these hubs have been implemented around the country, as well as examples of how neighbors have united to implement localized emergency responses through peer-to-peer check-in networks. Participants will then provide feedback on how such projects might unfold within the local community to best serve residents. The Town of Mount Desert and the Town of Tremont currently have a joint-grant through the Maine Community Resilience Partnership that is funding planning for multiple possible projects, including resilience hubs and peer-to-peer check-in networks.
