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.

Quantitative analysis of social media sensitivity to natural disasters
TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of social media to different types or magnitudes of natural disasters under various circumstances has been studied and the results demonstrate that Twitter is indeed a social sensor with different sensitivity levels to natural disasters and depending on the event circumstances, a diverse pattern of Twitter behavior should be expected.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Prospect of Compassionate Planning
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of compassion for planning, particularly for transforming strongly held values and norms that contribute to seemingly intractable challenges, is examined. And four categories of planning work in which compassion cultivation can be undertaken and four directions for future research on the application of compassion in planning practice and education.

TL;DR: This article investigated responses to the 2013 Cook Strait earthquake sequence, which included two foreshocks (M5.7 and M5.8) and a mainshock doublet pair (M6.5 Cook Strait (CS) and M6.6 Lake Grassmere (LG) earthquakes.

Resilience-vulnerability balance to urban flooding: a case study in a densely populated coastal city in China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors explored the mechanisms of the spatial imbalance between vulnerability and resilience in a densely populated socialist Chinese city, such as Shenzhen, for reducing such impacts in future research.
