About this service
Community Resiliency Teams (CRTs) bring local partners together to equitably strengthen:
- Emergency preparedness
- Overdose prevention
- Access to health and social services
CRTs operate in five zones across Marin County to build local connections and coordinate activities that support community health, safety, and resilience. This includes taking an equity-based approach focused on residents who are most vulnerable to emergencies and who would benefit the greatest from the provision and coordination of services and resources.
Who this service is for
CRTs engage with local community partners (Zone Partners), who may include non-profit organizations, schools, community health clinics, the business community, faith-based organizations, and city and county representatives.

How CRTs work
Marin County Public Health (MCPH) funds the CRT initiative and provides infrastructure, guidance, support, and resources for the CRTs to conduct their work. Each CRT is led by a “Lead Agency” within each health equity zone. CRT Lead Agencies convene local partners within geographic zones to share information, plan coordinated activities, and connect residents to resources. Activities may include community outreach, trainings, shared planning for emergencies, and efforts to prevent overdoses and improve access to health and social supports.

Additional information
Community Resiliency Teams’ (CRTs) Role in the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP):
CRT Lead Agencies participate in Healthy Marin Partnership (HMP), a collaborative of local agencies, organizations, and individuals that are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of all Marin residents. HMP recognizes the importance of taking a comprehensive view toward understanding community health needs and acknowledges the critical advantage of working collaboratively to address these needs and advance health equity.
HMP Vision: All who live, learn, and work in Marin County will experience lifelong health.
Healthy Marin Partnership conducts a Community Health Assessment every three years, and these finding guide HMP's efforts and inform community action and the strategies of the Community Health Improvement Plan. The County of Marin funds the CRTs to implement the CHIP and other activities, and MCPH provides the backbone support to the CRTs in implementing the CHIP.
