Idea
Thrivespring is an online platform for community resilience and disaster risk management. Thrivespring helps people connect with others to create impactful and ambitious grassroots initiatives that will strengthen communities and mitigate the effects of disasters. This can be achieved through a wide variety of projects, such as community-owned renewable energy microgrids; urban food production; wireless communication networks; rainwater harvesting projects; and neighbourhood emergency assistance groups.
