Later we learned it was called a "Derecho" wind storm and we learned about the post-event lack of services we've come to rely on . We relied heavily on our "camp neighbors" as we retrieved our belongings, moved trees, safely crossed downed powerlines and tried to navigate towards home with no cell service. We learned a lot about resiliency that day and in the days following and it made me consider how Dubuque's neighborhoods would bounce back, post disaster, be it wind storm, health pandemic or otherwise. We know many Dubuquer's face daily barriers to resiliency (access to healthcare, located food deserts, high un - or under-employment ) which are exacerbated by climate change (specifically flooding , air quality and heat ) and more recently, COVID-19. The Teen Resiliency Corps set out with the goal to address resiliency issues at the neighborhood level through empowerment and interactions while also addressing daily needs, especially those which have surfaced due to COVID-19. We hope you enjoyed meeting the teens who live in your neighborhood and we hope we've inspired you to meet more of your neighbors! We are so grateful for the time and energy you put into having discussions with us, filling out surveys and sharing a little piece of your lives! We hope you enjoy this coloring book full of original artwork by local artist, Mia Nottrott.

Be sure to wash your hands and wipe down the note first. WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE OUTSIDE... MAKE IT A POINT TO TALK TO THEM One-minute conversations are a big deal when it comes to � building relationships in our neighborhood. Use the Block Map visual included in this toolkit to write down and remember the names of your neighbors. ASK YOUR NEIGHBORS HOW THEY ARE DOING IN THE MIDST OF THIS CRISIS Asking simple and thoughtful questions is more important now than ever: • How are you and your family doing in light of all of the �� changes? 3 • How has this impacted your job and your company? • Have you noticed any silver linings as a result of the adjustments that this crisis has forced us all to make? • Is there anything that you need or that I could help with? • Have you been able to find flour or toilet paper anywhere? Real relationships are two-way streets—don't hesitate to ask for help and to share honestly about how you are feeling and doing. BUILD A NEIGHBORHOOD DIRECTORY Compile contact information of the people that live in � closest proximity to you and share it with everyone. Include names, addresses, phone, email, and even the names of children and/or pets if possible. � � � � . � � VIRTUAL MEET UPS Host a virtual gathering for your neighbors. Use Zoom, Google Hangout, etc. to connect with the people who live on your street or in your apartment complex. NEIGHBORHOOD SIT INS Have everyone bring their own chair and drinks. Be sure to space everyone six to ten feet apart as you enoy a nice conversation in an outdoor setting. SOCIAL DISTANCE WALKS Take a walk with your neighbor(s) while staying 6-10 feet from each other. This may seem awkward at first, but it's a great way to model distancing to others while getting some � healthy excercie. NEIGHBORHOOD ONLINE WEBINARS Invite your neighbors to do an online webinar around parenting, marriage, or any topic you think would be of interest to you and to them. VIRTUAL TRIVIA NIGHT Use a video confrencing service to host a trivia game with your neighbors. There are a lot of great apps and resources that provide fun questions and content. � � D� (� � x � O � � � � � S �.
