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
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disaster Resilience Indicators for Benchmarking Baseline Conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a methodology and a set of indicators for measuring baseline characteristics of communities that foster resilience by establishing baseline conditions, it becomes possible to monitor changes in resilience over time in particular places and to compare one place to another.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Social Vulnerability Index for Disaster Management
TL;DR: In this article, the development of a social vulnerability index (SVI) from 15 census variables at the census tract level for use in emergency management is described, and the potential value of the SVI by exploring the impact of Hurricane Katrina on local populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Framing vulnerability, risk and societal responses: the MOVE framework
Joern Birkmann,Joern Birkmann,Omar D. Cardona,M. L. Carreño,Alex H. Barbat,Mark Pelling,Mark Pelling,Stefan Schneiderbauer,Stefan Kienberger,Margreth Keiler,David Alexander,Peter Zeil,Torsten Welle +12 more
TL;DR: The framework presented enhances the discussion on how to frame and link vulnerability, disaster risk, risk management and adaptation concepts and shows key linkages between the different concepts used within the disaster risk management (DRM) and climate change adaptation research.

Urban household water resilience and source selection in Nepal pre- and post-disaster
Sadhana Shrestha,Yoko Aihara,Arun Prasad Bhattarai,Niranjan Bista,Naoki Kondo,Kazama Futaba,Kei Nishida,Junko Shindo +7 more
TL;DR: A detailed study on MWSU is necessary for strengthening water security and enhancing household water resilience to natural disasters which is defined as the ability of a household water system that is exposed to a disaster to resist, accommodate, and recover efficiently in a short time as mentioned in this paper.

Bangladesh's vulnerability to cyclonic coastal flooding
Aurélia Bernard,Aurélia Bernard,Aurélia Bernard,Nathalie Long,Melanie Becker,Jamal Uddin Khan,Jamal Uddin Khan,Sylvie Fanchette +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new metric, called socio-spatial vulnerability index (SSVI), is defined as function of both the probability of the cyclonic flood hazard and the sensitivity of delta inhabitants.

Research on fine Spatial Quantitative Model about vulnerability of hazard-affected bodies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a refined spatial quantification model of regional vulnerability which combines refined spatial geographic data and land-use type data, and a quantitative study on regional vulnerability was carried out by defining fine spatial grid as the basic evaluation unit based on GIS.
