Health literacy builds on the idea that both health and literacy are critical resources for everyday living. Our level of literacy directly affects our ability to not only act on health information but also to take more control of our health as individuals, families and communities.

Communities that work in concordance with their constituent stakeholders and develop action plans that are well-informed and take a comprehensive and enabling approach are likely to respond effectively to threats such as an influenza pandemic. Such communities are also able to react effectively to subsequent crises and efficiently return to normal functioning. Such an ability in a community is called resilience. Community resilience is thus a protective, adaptive quality that helps protect the community against disease and prevent its spread.
