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

Australia

Activity undertaken to determine the suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the subject matter to achieve established objectives. [2]


Canada

Resilience is the capacity of a system, community or society to adapt to disturbances resulting from hazards by persevering, recuperating or changing to reach and maintain an acceptable level of functioning.

Capacité d’un système, d’une communauté ou d’une société à s’adapter aux perturbations découlant de dangers en persévérant, en se rétablissant ou en changeant en vue d’atteindre et de maintenir un niveau acceptable de fonctionnement. [3] [4]

Resilient capacity is built through a process of empowering citizens, responders, organizations, communities, governments, systems and society to share the responsibility to keep hazards from becoming disasters.

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 entire. [5]

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.

Germany

Resilience is a system's ability to deal with changes. Resilience means resistance to disruptions of any kind, adaptability to new conditions and a flexible response to changes with the aim of maintaining the system, for example a company or a process. [6]

Netherlands

Weerbaarheid is de eigenschap van objecten om ongevoelig te zijn voor, aanpasbaar te zijn aan of snel te herstellen van ongunstige omstandigheden. (Resilience is the property of objects to be insensitive for, adaptable to, or to be able to recover fast from unfavorable circumstances). [7]


Republic of Trinidad & Tobago

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. [8]


Singapore

The ability of an organization to absorb the impact due to a risk occurrence and to continue to operate in such a way as to achieve its minimum business continuity objective. [9]


United Kingdom (UK)

Resilience is the ability of the community, services, area or infrastructure to detect, prevent, and, if necessary to withstand, handle and recover from disruptive challenges. [10]


United States

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. [11]


Infrastructure resilience is the ability to reduce the magnitude and/or duration of disruptive events. [12]

The effectiveness of a resilient infrastructure or enterprise depends upon its ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and/or rapidly recover from a potentially disruptive event.

Older definitions:

Ability to resist, absorb, recover from or successfully adapt to adversity or a change in conditions. [13]


Ability to reduce the magnitude and/or duration of disruptive events. [14]


Standard Definition

ISO Guide 73:2009

Adaptive capacity of an organization in a complex and changing environment. [15]


Other Definitions

Ontario (Canada)

Resilience is the ability to resist, absorb, accommodate and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner. [16]


Résilience: capacité de résister aux effets d’un danger, de les absorber, de s’y adapter et de se rétablir, efficacement et en temps opportun. [16]
