"The idea of creating a resilience index is to provide a simple method of predicting whether a community can maintain an acceptable level of functioning and structure after a disaster. While this is a pilot, its replication across slums would help policy makers identify vulnerable areas and take steps to enhance resilience," said Janki Andharia, chairperson of the Jamsetji Tata Centre for Disaster Management at TISS. The centre has devised the 'climate disaster resilience index' as part of a multi-country study by Kyoto University, Japan reports The Times of India.
