community response
Neighborhood's shared answer
Community response is the collective reaction of a group to an event, crisis, or issue affecting them.
It often implies organized action—neighbors mobilizing after a disaster, residents addressing a local problem, or a town rallying around a cause: The community response to the flooding was immediate and generous.
In public health, community response describes how populations react to outbreaks or interventions.
