Define the boundaries of your web

What should be included on your web? The Resilience Web is a place based map, so choose clear geographic boundaries. If a group falls outside of your space, it might be best included on a neighbouring web. The Cambridge web does not include national organisations, for example.

Secondly, consider the conceptual boundaries of your web. The Resilience Web is generally for environment and social justice community groups, but you can define exactly what this means for your community. The Cambridge web has chosen not to include religious groups unless they specifically have a subgroup that is working directly in one of these areas, for example.

The South West London web has a focus on disaster response.

The water web (still under development) for groups that are working on water issues in the River Cam catchement area has a much broader geographic area, but a much narrower conceptual boundary. We encourage creative ways of thinking about the webs.

Categories

Start thinking about the categories that your listings will fall into, for example Food, Transportation, Housing. Your web might have a different focus that’s specific to your community. Whatever you set up now is absolutely possible to change this in the future.
