Measuring resilience

This document provides detail on the conceptual framework behind the Flood Resilience Measurement for Community (FRMC) and explains how it is applied practically, including the software used.

This paper proposes a framework for defining risk metrics to capture climate resilience in infrastructure assets. It first outlines the risks that infrastructure is exposed to under a future of climate change, before summarising some of the current

The frequency and severity of disasters over the last few decades have presented unprecedented challenges for communities across the United States. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina exposed the complexity and breadth of a deadly combination of existing community

While social vulnerability assessments (SVA) use spatial indicators and indices that have become state of the art, they also receive substantial critique. This article analyzes, by means of a literature review of 63 articles, if and in which aspects such

Volume 2 of the IRGC Resource Guide on Resilience provides an in-depth and pragmatic evaluation of concepts and methods for resilience-based approaches in contrast to risk-based approaches, as proposed and practised in different domains of science and

The paper shares insights on designing and implementing monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) systems as well as generating useful evidence that informs large resilience-building programmes in an international development context.

The purpose of this

The WRI has developed the urban community resilience assessment (UCRA), a tool for city planners to measure differentiated needs for climate resilience. Accurate and detailed risk data at the city- and neighborhood-levels, is key to ensuring cities will

In disaster science, policy and practice, the transition of resilience from a descriptive concept to a normative agenda provides challenges and opportunities.

This paper argues that both are needed to increase resilience. It briefly outlines the concept

Social vulnerability influences the ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. The identification of vulnerable populations and factors that contribute to their vulnerability are crucial for effective disaster risk reduction. Nepal

Innovations are revealing the power of technology in unlocking resilience. Not only are mobile phone surveys a cheaper alternative to physical interviews, they also allow for remote data collection when people are on the move. This is useful in post-disaster environments where people are often forced to relocate or it is unsafe for survey teams to gain access.
