Resilient System Series

The Resilient Systems Series

The Resilient Systems Series explores how the various essential systems function together, from the household to the broader community. Built on a shared systems-based approach, each book offers practical frameworks, assessment tools, and visual methods to help readers better understand how their environments function and how resilience can be strengthened over time.

 

Rather than focusing on isolated solutions, the series emphasizes connection, adaptability,

observation, and integrated thinking to support steady, thoughtful improvements.

 

LATEST RELEASE

The Resilient Household Audit

The Home Ecosystem Audit MethodTM for Measuring, Visualizing and Strengthening Household Systems.

See your household as a connected ecosystem. Discover how water, energy, food, shelter, waste, and human needs work together, and where changes can build lasting resilience.

You don’t need more information. You need a way to see your home as a system.

Most households rely on essential systems like water, food, energy, shelter, and waste. Without fully understanding how they function or how they depend on one another. These systems work quietly in the background, until something changes.

This book makes them visible.

The Resilient Household Audit introduces the Home Ecosystem Audit Method™, a structured, practical approach to understanding how your household operates and where it can become more flexible, stable, and resilient over time.

Using guided assessment tools, a simple scoring system, and a visual profile, you will learn how to:

  • Evaluate your household across six essential systems 

  • Identify where you rely on single pathways—and where flexibility can be built 

  • Use the Resilience Index for Households™ to measure your current state 

  • Create your Resilient Household Profile™ (scoring wheel) to visualize strengths and gaps 

  • Take focused, manageable actions based on real conditions—not assumptions 

Part of the Resilient Systems Series, this book offers a clear starting point for understanding resilience at the household scale—forming the foundation for applying systems thinking to land, neighborhoods, and communities.

This is not about doing everything.

It is about seeing clearly, and starting where it matters.
