Who is involved in community mitigation actions?
section_content: Individuals, communities, schools, businesses and healthcare organizations all
have a role to play in community mitigation. Policies*, which include limits
on large gatherings, restrictions on businesses, and school closures are often
needed to fully put in place community mitigation strategies.
Each community is unique. Because some actions can be very disruptive to daily
life, mitigation activities will be different depending on how much disease
has spread within the community, what the community population is like, and
the ability to take these actions at the local level. To identify appropriate
activities, all parts of a community that might be impacted need to be
considered, including populations most vulnerable to severe
illness, and those who might be more impacted socially or economically.
When selecting mitigation activities, states and communities need to consider
the spread of disease locally, characteristics of the people who live in the
community (for example, age groups, languages spoken, overall health status),
and the kind of public health resources and healthcare systems (like
hospitals) that are available in the community. State and local officials may
need to adjust community mitigation activities and immediately take steps to
scale them up or down depending on the changing local situation.
Putting mitigation into practice is based on:

Emphasizing individual responsibility for taking recommended personal-level actions
Empowering businesses, schools, and community organizations to take recommended actions, particularly in ways that protect persons at increased risk of severe illness
Focusing on settings that provide critical infrastructure or services to individuals at increased risk of severe illness
Minimizing disruptions to daily life to the extent possible

*CDC cannot address the policies of any business or organization. CDC shares recommendations based on the best available science to help people make decisions that improve their health and safety. In all cases, follow the guidance of your healthcare provider and local health department. Local decisions depend on local circumstances.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
I think that there is a decent amount of information about community mitigation here.  Reading this information would educate someone on what the term means.
This does not answer the question. The question is asking about the community mitigation definition, however, this answer provides information on the role of individuals and organizations in community mitigation as well as recommendation for selecting mitigation activities.
