This article addresses resilience and vulnerability as two prominent concepts within disaster risk science. UNISDR (United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction). How Psychologically Conditioned Rats Are Defusing Landmines, The Innate Intelligence Observed in the Dying Process. It is most useful for freshmen and sophomores. Fortunately the containment vessel was not compromised. The low number of responses citing the measurability of resilience may echo the uncertainty in our peer community about the practical feasibility of semiquantitative approaches, sometimes termed operationalization, although this is certainly also a big challenge for vulnerability assessments (also see Fekete 2012 and the short papers in this issue). In his argumentation from the point of view of philosophy of science, Strunz (2012) concludes that pragmatic and creative problem-solving may benefit from conceptual vagueness, which allows blurred conceptual boundaries as well as the use of metaphors. The research was based on multiple case studies in the implementation of a community-based post-disaster housing reconstruction project (CPHRP) in Indonesia. Resilience as a common goal has the potential to bring together humanitarians, stabilization and development actors (OECD 2013, p. 1). 2013). If the boundary object remains open to interpretation, it can be highly useful as a communication tool in order to bridge scientific disciplines and the gap between scientific research, policy, and practice. 2004. The concept of resilience offers a perspective that includes the possibility of risks beyond those that we can identify and analyze with a risk analysis toolbox. The relatively high number of responses highlighting possible misuse of the concepts is notable. Health and Social Services Rarely does public health lead the way through a major disaster. This paper is based on a previous version, Advantages and limitations of community-based post-disaster housing reconstruction project, The State of DRR at the Local Level, A 2015 Report on the Patterns of Disaster Risk Reduction Actions at Local Level, The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR). What lessons did these early experiences teach me? Focusing the meaning(s) of resilience: Resilience as a descriptive concept and a boundary object. , cause of health issues of her family, their choices were narrowed down into two restaurants, namely, Camiling restaurant and Shery's Diner, which are Filipino fusion restaurants.There were some decisions to be make because ti was already late and everyone was hungry. Adaptation to climate change (Anpassung an den Klimawandel). 2013b. At the UN-level, disaster risk management is regarded as part of DRR. 2008. 2009. Despite this conceptual blurriness and the difficulties in applying resilience and vulnerability, both concepts are used in disaster risk sciences. Accordingly, EPCIP identifies the analysis and assessment of vulnerability as a necessity within the context of threat and risk analysis and assessment for critical infrastructure. Before we get into the details, one of the biggest factors in all this is trying to determine where recovery fits in. Clearly we are seeing different perspectives of each of these Core Capabilities, requiring us to approach them in ways different than we have in the past. Within the UNISDR framework, in particular in the HFA, vulnerability analysis and assessment are established as risk analysis tools. Similarly, collections havent been damaged, as they might have in another disaster, so there is no insurance claim to cover losses. Four advantages can be categorised as highly significant. But use of resilience does instigate critical discussion and communication about risks, which we see as beneficial for the advancement of DRM. Natural Hazards 67(1): 99115. Resilience is identified as the overall goal and is defined as the ability to recover quickly from disturbance, both on the national and local levels. Klein, R.J.T., R.J. Nicholls, and F. Thomalla. Strunz, S. 2012. Learners enjoy it, and this method can be a real stirrer in the class. In addition, federal states include flood risk analysis and management in their legislation. Complementing this analysis of disaster risk research and management practice, a survey identifies some of the benefits of and challenges to the concepts of resilience and vulnerability as seen by a peer-community. Community resilience as a metaphor, theory, set of capacities and strategy for disaster. GPDRR (Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction). When Disaster Strikes: Inside Disaster Psychology. 6. Even organizations and their employees have had to scramble to ensure that employees (and students) have internet access at home, the hardware required to access the internet, and the ability to connect to the organizations servers and services. Matson, J.J. McCarthy, R.W. What is the basis of quality for this kind of instances?2. While this example illustrates the monetary benefit of resilience and vulnerability measures, the implications of resilience and vulnerability need to be evaluated beyond simple economic indicators, even when policy makers and the industry may respond more to economic evidence, compensation demands, or legal liability. Nevertheless, the criticism of Klein et al. 2. Wang, J.H. GAIA 22(4): 248254 (in German). Spatial disaster vulnerability and risk assessments: Challenges in their quality and acceptance. 3).

While some recovery activity has already started (more about that in a bit), the big push may not be able to start until society can at least begin to intermingle (though likely with some continued precautions). The qualitative replies address challenges in communicating these concepts or in talking about them. Brussels: European Council. UN (United Nations). The diversity of resilience: Contributions from a social science perspective. Global Environmental Change 4(1): 3748. Zhou, H.J., J.A. Forced relocation after the Indian Ocean tsunami, 2004. 2). Some countries, such as Switzerland and Germany, have incorporated risk analysis on a national level into their legal system, and the UK has enacted risk analysis at both the national and local level. Scholarly debates on resilience and vulnerability have developed independently of each other over decades, but there are a number of recent works that discuss the two concepts as interlinked (Cutter et al. Mid-term review. Many jurisdictions are also examining the association between infrastructure and economic recovery in a different light, especially as thought is being put into when and how to re-open our communities and economies. But except for the case of EPCIP, vulnerability analysis is included implicitly rather than explicitly in the legislation reviewed in this article. Flood Protection Center, Cologne. This article addresses resilience and vulnerability as two prominent concepts within disaster risk science. Risk: How society handles uncertainty (Risiko: ber den gesellschaftlichen Umgang mit Unsicherheit). This requires considerable effort, boldness, and closer cooperation between science, policy, and practice. Release of the Yokohama Strategy, World Conference on Natural Disaster Reduction 1994, and the strategy A Safer World in the Twenty-First Century: Risk and Disaster Reduction in 1999. 1993. While those that own large apartment complexes may be able to absorb these losses, landlords with small properties will not. The authors provide an overview of current uses and benefits of and challenges to resilience and vulnerability concepts for disaster risk management (DRM). http://www.juris.de/purl/gesetze/WHG (in German). Geneva: UNISDR. 2012). The aim was to develop context-specific, indicator-based assessment tools that help the users to identify the strengths and fragilities of a given territory and community with respect to extreme natural events. While we may see shades of some more traditional recovery activity, recovery from the pandemic is giving us a very different way of seeing things. Consider that most jurisdictions arent used to dealing with prolonged incidents such as this. Brussels. At a regional level, the European Union (EU) approved the Internal Security Strategy for the European Union in March 2010 (European Council 2010). Accessed 18 March 2014. In 1992, Following the seminal work of the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (a United Nations-affiliated agency created to support the acute psychological health of emergency workers) the American Red Cross fostered the development of a nationwide network of psychological crisis intervention teams which would be deployed along with traditional Red Cross disaster response personnel. Hawaii Cable Television is a natural monopoly. In fact, many jurisdictions have decided to no longer operate EOCs (hopefully these were virtual!) Rao, M. Convertino, and I. Linkov.

In Germany, the New Strategy for the Protection of the Population, first published in 2002, serves as a guideline for the advancement of civil protection (GFOCD 2010a). In previous work on vulnerability, we have identified pitfalls in the methods used to develop vulnerability indices and obtain data, as well as in the communication with end users, and the stigmatization and victimization of the vulnerable (Hufschmidt 2011; Fekete 2012). In fact, by many reports, many of our natural resources have seen marked and measurable improvement due to decreases in pollution and other impacts of normal human activity. Accessed 18 March 2014. The Pressure and Release (PAR) model understands a disaster as the intersection between socio-economic pressure and physical exposure.

While internet services werent damaged by the pandemic, they were heavily impacted with many organizations directing staff to work from home. New measures to be implemented was given as a response more often in relation to vulnerability. CRRs describe local hazards over a five-year period in combination with descriptions of related potential adverse consequences, such as damage and loss of lives. In short, a small physical shift can change entire systems irreversiblyand, vulnerable populations could be affected disproportionately (for more on physical climate risk, see sidebar Seven crucial traits of physical climate risk).

Vulnerability is understood as a concept describing the differences in the degree of damage incurred from natural hazards that are manifested for an individual person, for a whole community, a city, or an entire region (Hufschmidt 2011). The authors provide an overview of current uses GFG (German Federal Government [Bundesregierung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland]).

Vague descriptors such as damage assessment or the estimation of adverse consequences are preferred and explicit adaptations are not detailed. Hufschmidt, G. 2011. In retrospective, after several decades of discussion and application in the field of disaster risk management (DRM), it is time to recapitulate the benefits that the resilience and vulnerability concepts offer for DRM. Informing the public of risks is regarded as critical to promoting resilience (UKCO 2013). On the social services side of this Core Capability, we also see a change in dynamics. Physical effects are the most visible and quantifiable effects of a disaster, disasters can cause serious mental health consequences for the victims, which can take the form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and a variety of other disorder and symptoms which have been less investigated, Other psychological effects of a disaster, loss of pleasure derived from material activities, what the people living at risk know and do about natural hazards and disaster risks is mediated by a range of factors including social conditions and cultural settings, in most places are also more or less exposed by information and ideas coming from the outside - the world outside their own cultural setting, a natural disaster is a natural event that causes a perturbation to the functioning of the economic system, with significant negative assets, production factors, output, employment, and consumption, natural disasters are commonly thought to be less politically contentious than armed conflicts. Other unwanted forms of resilience are those displayed by terrorist or criminal groups or disease-causing microorganisms (Zolli and Healy 2012). Some of the qualitative replies in Table2 relate to the necessary paradigm shift, new methods, and policy trend answer categories. Paper presented at the 3rd annual conference of the Institute for risk and disaster reduction, June 2013, University College London, London. Resilience: A capacity and a myth: Findings from an in-depth case study in disaster management research. Be sure to document your lessons learned, share them far and wide, and set a timeline for implementing improvements. We see major potential benefits of both concepts due to their stimulation of interdisciplinarity that bridges science, policy, and practice, and due to their potential for improvement in effectively reducing disaster risks within the practical field of disaster risk management. 2009; Miller et al. Versuch einer Charakterisierung). Natural Hazards 53(1): 2141. Other potential downsides of the overly positive advocacy of uncontrolled and self-serving shortsighted development and innovation are issues that still need to be researched as potential forms of mal-resilience. 1993. You may be able to access teaching notes by logging in via your Emerald profile. An administrator Advantage and Disadvantage of Total Physical Response. Although the vulnerability concept is still characterized by a considerable degree of conceptual variation and haziness, the literature review and the survey (Questions 2 and 4), show that compared to resilience the vulnerability concept is more elaborated and advanced methodologically. b) losses are absolutely unpreventable. Though the advantages of precisely defined concepts for intradisciplinary research are evident, conceptual vagueness has some benefits for communication and for knowledge exchange across disciplinary boundaries and between the areas of science, policy, and practice. volume5,pages 320 (2014)Cite this article.

But this vagueness offers opportunities for communication between disaster risk science, policy, and practice. Change), You are commenting using your Twitter account. 2012. UNISDR (United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction). Nevertheless, there is an ongoing debate on how to characterize vulnerability in both the theory and practice of disaster risk management (Birkmann 2006; Ionescu et al. Natural Hazards Observer 37(1): 1416. 2008; Aven 2011). 2). Eine Risikobeurteilung aus Sicht des Bevlkerungsschutzes).

GFG (German Federal Government [Bundesregierung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland]). After decades of resilience research and a rising body of literature applying this concept to disaster risk sciences, divergent definitions and highly varied methodological approaches exist (Zhou et al. These decisions need to be made by the practitioners, that is, the disaster risk managers. Brighton: Institute for Development Studies, University of Sussex. 1993. Some conceptualize resilience and vulnerability as subcomponents of each other (Turner et al. Resilience to natural hazards: How useful is this concept? The EUs strategic documents demonstrate that, similar to the UN objectives, resilience is regarded as the overall aim. UKCO (United Kingdom, Cabinet Office).
