The CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) program in the US reflects which resilience theory principle?
Answer: Distributed community capacity enhances overall system resilience
CERT embodies the principle that building distributed capacity across community members strengthens overall resilience by reducing dependency on centralized resources.
