Resilience Hubs in action

Disaster response and recovery are core elements of the resilience hub model, and because of the preparedness and collaboration within the Tempe Resilience Hub Network, recovery efforts were supported quickly, and the resilience hub model was successfully mobilized.

Continued Preparation and Relationship Building
During the microburst, we saw neighbors helping neighbors-using what they already had, from their skills and knowledge to tools around the home. This spirit of community response is exactly what the Dayspring Resilience Hub hopes to build on through a new pilot program that helps identify neighborhood assets before the next disruption.

Starting in Spring 2026, neighbors in the hub area will begin going door-to-door to map community assets-everything from equipment and skills to gathering spaces. Together, neighbors and the resilience hub will create a neighborhood asset map that can be used to strengthen preparedness and improve how the community responds when disruptions occur.

Interested in learning more? Attend the next workshop on Nov. 16 from 11 a.m. to noon at Dayspring United Methodist Church (1365 E Elliot Rd.), where we will be talking more about the program and doing asset mapping of the area. If you are from the Dayspring area and would like to volunteer for the door-to-door asset mapping in the Spring, please fill out a volunteer interest form, and someone will be in contact with you.
