TLDR
In this article, the authors examine existing resilience indices in relation to economic principles and evaluate their potential to gauge and improve post-disaster economic recovery, with a focus on businesses, and conclude that the majority of indicators in use to date are not necessarily pertinent to measuring resilience at the micro-, meso- and macroeconomic levels in the aftermath of a disaster.Abstract:
Several attempts have recently been made to identify the key indicators of community resilience and to group them into an overall resilience index. These studies support the evaluation of the effectiveness of resilience during recovery, and they also help establish a yardstick by which to monitor progress in resilience enhancement over time. We examine existing resilience indices in relation to economic principles and evaluate their potential to gauge and improve post-disaster economic recovery, with a focus on businesses. We conclude that the majority of indicators in use to date are not necessarily pertinent to measuring resilience at the micro-, meso- and macro-economic levels in the aftermath of a disaster. Contending that business behavior is the key to short-term recovery, we propose a framework for choosing appropriate short-run indicators toward the goal of developing an effective economic resilience index.read more

Vulnerability, resilience, hazard, risk, damage, and loss: a socio-ecological framework for natural disaster analysis
Marco Modica,Roberto Zoboli +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a general framework encompassing all the important concepts which should be taken into account by the above agents in the assessment of natural disasters, and proposed a simple and consistent set of relationships among vulnerability, resilience, hazard, risk, damage, and loss which can guide socioeconomic assessment.

Economic resilience to natural and man-made disasters: Multidisciplinary origins and contextual dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors distinguish static economic resilience (efficient allocation of existing resources) from dynamic economic resilience(speeding recovery through repair and reconstruction of the capital stock) and propose operational definitions that incorporate this important distinction.
