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.
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.

An interdisciplinary system dynamics model for post-disaster housing recovery
Elaina J. Sutley,Sara Hamideh +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a holistic model to further understand the dynamic processes and interdependencies of housing recovery and inequalities in post-disaster housing recovery, which is beyond current capabilities to quantify such complexities.

Conceptualizing holistic community resilience to climate events: Foundation for a climate resilience screening index
TL;DR: A new conceptual model for resilience to climate events is proposed that incorporates some available structures and addresses these five domains at a national, regional, state, and county spatial scale for a variety of climate‐induced events ranging from superstorms to droughts and their concomitant events such as wildfires, floods, and pest invasions.
