ECONOMIC RESILIENCE

Economic resilience refers to the ability of an economy, whether at the level of households, firms, or entire regions, to withstand, recover from, and adapt to economic shocks or disruptions.

The following recommendations emerged from an economic resilience analysis and are embedded within the EDSP’s strategic action items. Targeted initiatives are outlined below and designed to strengthen Riverside County’s ability to withstand and adapt to locally occurring hazards. A key innovation of the EDSP is the development of the Economic Resilience Scorecard, a dynamic tool that will guide ongoing strategy refinement, track progress, and ensure that resilience remains a central pillar of the county’s economic future.
