Here is a strawman summary for the About sections in the US Resilience Systems and their Resilience Network subsystems.

Many Americans are feeling a decline in their quality of life and funcitonal life capacity if they do not actively engage in more resilient and sustainable community.  Increasing numbers are committed to making sure that the food they are eating is healthy, and the water they are drinking is pure, sufficient in quanity for their consumption and food production, and will not be contaminated.  They want to live and work within communities in which economic deline and high energy spikes will not compromise their abiiity to travel to work, or heat and cool their homes.  They want to live within a social ecology in which they are not at risk of going without essential health care or of losing their homes.  Resilience Systems and their Resilience Networks provide essential infrastructures to ensuring these basic needs as the U.S. faces more challenging times ahead.
