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.

A place-based model for understanding community resilience to natural disasters
Susan L. Cutter,Lindsey Barnes,Melissa Berry,Christopher G. Burton,Elijah Evans,Eric Tate,Jennifer J. Webb +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the disaster resilience of place (DROP) model is proposed to improve comparative assessments of disaster resilience at the local or community level, and a candidate set of variables for implementing the model are also presented as a first step towards its implementation.
