literature has identified a wide range of factors that determine whether a community will be resilient. These include (with examples relative to this work), infrastructure (computing and internet), financial (wealth and employment), human and cultural (academic family expectation, food security), social (support networks), political (college governance), and the mental outlook of individuals (Patel, et al, 2017, NASEM, 2019). Resilience has been studied at scales ranging from individuals to broader communities, which highlights both internal and external supporting factors. Internal factors reside inside an individual agent and may be characterized by such psychological traits and skills as optimism, creativity, spirituality, humor, self-efficacy
