Definitions
Other International Definitions
UNISDR
The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures and functions. [1]
Resilience means the ability to “resile from” or “spring back from” a shock. The resilience of a community in respect to potential hazard events is determined by the degree to which the community has the necessary resources and is capable of organizing itself both prior to and during times of need.
National Definitions
United States
In the "Community Resilience Planning Guide for Buildings and Infrastructure Systems"[2], the general definition of resilience is also adopted for Community Resilience:
The ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions and withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions; includes the ability to withstand and recover from deliberate attacks, accidents, or naturally occurring threats or incidents. [3]
Other Definitions
Resilience refers to the existence, development, and engagement of community resources by community members to thrive in an environment characterized by change, uncertainty, unpredictability, and surprise.[4]
Resilience as the ability of social system to respond and recover from disasters and include those inherent conditions that allow the system to absorb impacts and cope with an event, as well as post-event, adaptive process that facilitates the ability of the social system to re-organize, change and learn in response to threat. [5]
Note: Six dimensions of community resilience are identified: ecological, social, economic, institutional, infrastructure, and community competence.
Resilience is the collective ability of neighbourhood or geographically defined area to deal with stressors and efficiently resume the rhythms of daily life through cooperation following shocks. [6]
Resilience is the community's or region's capability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from significant multi-hazard threats with minimum danger to public safety and health, the economy and national security.[7]
Community seismic resilience as the ability of social units to mitigate hazards, contain the effects of disasters when they occur, and carry out recovery activities in ways that minimize social disruption and mitigate effects of future earthquakes.[8]
