Covid-19 brought disruptions and uncertainties at a global scale. Municipalities were forced to show immediate adaptive capacity to counter the effects of the pandemic shock. The record of their performance is critical to improve future responses and more resilient regions. This article does the inventory of the measures adopted in the CIM-RC, by municipalities, during the first wave of the pandemic in Portugal. Their adaptive capacity in fostering conditions of adaptation and adaptability to the pandemic shock reveals local resilience, in spite of some differences between more urban and more rural municipalities. Taken together, the three categories of adopted measures - sanitary, economic and social measures - exhibit more tenuous traces of resilience associated with the neighborhood effect than those of category-by-category analysis. No polarizing effects deriving from the main urban centers were ob- served.
