RESILIENCY...
System robustness, redundancy, rapidity, and resourcefulness are vital characteristics of disaster resilience.
That is, a resilient organization or neighbourhood or social group is one that has taken steps to withstand shock (e.g.,earthquake-resistant housing), to reduce dependency on resources or systems (e.g., diversified livelihoods, interoperable communication systems), to respond in a timely way (e.g., emergency plans, training exercises), and to earmark the resources needed to protect life and safety (e.g., stockpiled materials, trained emergency social service staff).
