A Fully Integrated Model of Interdependent Physical Infrastructure and Social Systems
Common to the many definitions of resilience in the literature and in policy statements is the notion that resilience is the ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions and withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. The performance of the built environment and the support of social, economic, and public institutions are essential for a community’s immediate response and long-term recovery after a disruptive natural hazard event. This article describes research in the Center for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning, which is sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Center’s objective is to advance measurement science to (a) understand the factors that make a community resilient, (b) assess the -likely impacts of hazards on communities, and (c) develop risk-informed decision strategies that optimize planning for and recovery from natural hazard events. Research has already laid the groundwork for advances in community resilience science and implementation.
