Community Ecological Maps This visual tool for describing the nature and strength of relationships within a community can provide a foundation for improving relationships and partnerships. Stakeholder Analysis Stakeholder analysis will help you to analyze the potential influence of key individuals, groups, and organizations. It provides information to garner support for, and limit opposition to, your activities. SWOT Analysis This strategic planning tool provides information for analyzing a community’s resources and capabilities. Additionally, the tool aids in developing strategies to utilize strengths, pursue appropriate opportunities, overcome weaknesses, and reduce vulnerabilities. Capacity and Vulnerability Assessment This tool is particularly useful in communities where groups may be impacted differently depending on, for example, socio-economic status, health, or ethnicity.

General Information and Guidelines for Using CART Tools CART tools, designed to be used by an organization or team to address clearly defined objectives, can help you to think in depth about your community and to assess and analyze it with respect to community resilience and disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. The tools assist you in asking questions about and undertaking a methodical review of your organization, objectives, and initiatives. In doing so you may discover areas in which you need or want to alter your plans, involve local constituents, strengthen relationships, and counter negative effects. Most CART tools are appropriate for an all-hazards environment, though some may be used more appropriately with a specific hazard in mind. For some tools, it is essential that you identify a clear, attainable, time-limited, and preferably measurable objective. Other tools can be used to shape or reframe objectives. While individual tools can be used alone, many work best when used in tandem. Implementation of CART tools requires active participation and interaction among members of your organization and involvement with the community. Sources of information when implementing tools may include members of your organization, formal and informal community leaders, public officials, neighborhood residents, selected professionals, other key informants, a variety of other stakeholders, existing studies by local organizations, local newspapers, your public library, and the Internet. After reading the entire description of a tool, consider whether it is pertinent for your organization and needs. Note that there are considerations at the end of each tool that may be relevant for your purpose. Make note of considerations that may affect how you progress through an application. Templates provided for some tools (see Appendix C) help you to understand what to consider when implementing the tool. Often it is less important where you put something in a template, than that you attend to it in your analysis. Communities Advancing Resilience Toolkit (CART) Page 7
