Resilience is a topic of steadily increasing interest. It
particularly gains importance when discussing how communities
(e.g. municipalities) can prepare themselves for
potential future disruptions. A resilient community will overcome
immediate shocks, such as an earthquake, as well as
stresses, such as the successive outbreak of a pandemic. Due
to the novelty of the topic, research particularly exists on
theoretical aspects of resilience. Targeting learning – and
thereby the local population – is a rather new emergence.
To effectively reach, involve, and engage citizens, technology
can play a key role. Based on four actual cases from communities
we analyse the impact technology has on learning
about resilience. We then scrutinize the effectiveness and
propose future steps. Thereby, we seek to provide practical
advice to local governments and to enrich the theory at the
same time.
