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
France
La résilience se définit comme la volonté et la capacité d’un pays, de la société et des pouvoirs publics à résister aux conséquences d’une agression ou d’une catastrophe majeures, puis à rétablir rapidement leur capacité de fonctionner normalement, ou à tout le moins dans un mode socialement acceptable. Elle concerne non seulement les pouvoirs publics, mais encore les acteurs économiques et la société civile tout entière [2].
A non-official translation is the following:
Resilience is defined as the will and ability of a country, society and government to withstand the consequences of an attack or a major disaster, and then to quickly restore their ability to function normally, or at least in a socially acceptable way. It concerns not only the government but also the business community and the whole civil society.
