To know her is to love her… Deb Olson, longtime deli manager at the Marshfield Village Store, and my friend is now with hospice care. This meal train is a way to support the family as they try to focus their attention on what’s most important now. Food can be dropped off at the store.

Resilience Hubs and Toolkit is a step-by-step plan for communities to build people-centered resilience in Vermont amid chronic and acute disaster. The toolkit includes practical skills, training materials, supply lists, and prompts for assessing community vulnerabilities and assets.

This toolkit is a direct response to the devastating flooding in Vermont in 2023 and 2024, collaboratively crafted by first responders, community organizers, mutual aid hubs and impacted community members. Cohort members include folks from CROs, Northeast Kingdom Organizing (NEKO), Cooperation Vermont, Rural Vermont, and grassroots flood responders in Barre, Plainfield, Waterbury and more.

The toolkit is what we wished we had in the moment and are now excited to offer in preparation for the next (un)natural disaster, and for building resilience in the every day.
This project affirms the belief that our communities know best what we need, have many of the tools to create strategies for resilience amidst disaster and beyond, and despite the narratives of separation, thrive together.
The Resilience Hub Toolkit is available both online and in hard copy to download, print, share, and shapeshift into what best suits your community’s unique needs.

Local-first tools to organize systems, stuff, and people before, during, and after disasters.
