Chatham's Resilience Roadmap FAQ

1. What do you mean by “resilience”?

Resilience is our community’s ability to handle both everyday challenges (i.e. rising costs, traffic, lack of childcare) and sudden events (i.e. hurricanes, flooding).

2. Why should I care?

The challenges facing Chatham County show up in daily life — in flooded streets, extremely hot summers, and the cost of living. This Roadmap is meant to help make sure every neighborhood is safer, more prepared, and better supported when things get tough.

3.  Why do you need my input?

You know your neighborhood best. We want to hear:

• Where you feel the biggest challenges during sudden events
• What makes things harder when emergencies happen
• What support would make the biggest difference

Your feedback will help shape future County actions and priorities.
