In this step, you will brainstorm, develop, and prioritize resilience strategies to address the vulnerabilities and risks you identified in Step 3. It will also help you identify where and how to implement strategies or mainstream them into other specific planning efforts. The application of individual resilience strategies will depend on the key concern being addressed, the sector the action applies to, and the existing planning efforts and resources available to the community.
Guiding Questions

- How can you ensure that the resilience strategies developed in this process will work for your community?
- How can you leverage existing work already happening in your community to support your planning efforts?
- Are there resilience strategies that should be planned for now but that will need to be implemented in the future?
