Community Susceptibility and Resiliency to COVID-19 Across the Rural-Urban Continuum in the United States.
TL;DR: There is an immediate need to know specific types of susceptibilities and vulnerabilities ahead of time to allow local and state health officials to plan and allocate resources accordingly, and in rural areas it is essential to shelter‐in‐place vulnerable populations, whereas in large metropolitan areas general closure orders are needed to stop community spread.

Journal ArticleDOI
Social cohesion and resilience across communities that have experienced a disaster
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared four Canadian rural communities that experienced disasters and evacuation in potentially different phases of coping and resilience and found a consistent significant positive correlation between cohesion and resilience, although the strength of the relationship varies.

Resilience and Stability of Ecological Systems
TL;DR: The traditional view of natural systems, therefore, might well be less a meaningful reality than a perceptual convenience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Vulnerability to Environmental Hazards
TL;DR: The Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) as discussed by the authors is an index of social vulnerability to environmental hazards based on county-level socioeconomic and demographic data collected from the United States in 1990.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social and Ecological Resilience: Are They Related?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define social resilience as the ability of groups or communities to cope with external stresses and disturbances as a result of social, political and environmental change, and explore potential links between social resilience and ecological resilience.

TL;DR: To build collective resilience, communities must reduce risk and resource inequities, engage local people in mitigation, create organizational linkages, boost and protect social supports, and plan for not having a plan, which requires flexibility, decision-making skills, and trusted sources of information that function in the face of unknowns.
Journal ArticleDOI
