. In 2016, the Federal Emergency Management Agency published a draft concept paper produced by an interagency project team co-led by the agency and the National Oce anic and Atmospheric Administration that outlined an approach to measuring community resilience capacity using 28 distinct indicators across 10 "core capacities," including physical infrastructure themes as well as hazard miti gation activity.
