Abstract: This paper presents a conceptual framework to define seismic resilience of communities and quantitative measures of resilience that can be useful for a coordinated research effort focusing on enhancing this resilience. This framework relies on the complementary measures of resilience: ‘‘Reduced failure probabilities,’’ ‘‘Reduced consequences from failures,’’ and ‘‘Reduced time to recovery.’’ The framework also includes quantitative measures of the ‘‘ends’’ of robustness and rapidity, and the ‘‘means’’ of resourcefulness and redundancy, and integrates those measures into the four dimensions of community resilience—technical, organizational, social, and economic—all of which can be used to quantify measures of resilience for various types of physical and organizational systems. Systems diagrams then establish the tasks required to achieve these objectives. This framework can be useful in future research to determine the resiliency of different units of analysis and systems, and to develop resiliency targets and detailed analytical procedures to generate these values.

Supply network resilience learning: An exploratory data analytics study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how two types of supplier learning, namely learning to prevent and learning to recover, affect supply network learning and provided a framework that will help practitioners understand the contingencies that influence the effect of suppliers' learning on the overall supply network resilience learning.

An Assessment Model for Hospital Resilience according to the Simultaneous Consideration of Key Performance Indicators: A System Dynamics Approach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model to assess hospital resilience and found that human resources related factors has a significant impact on the resilience of the hospitals and their changes could lead to performance loss.

Temporal and Spatial Differentiation in Urban Resilience and Its Influencing Factors in Henan Province
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper dissected the urban resilience spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of 18 Henan Province cities with the entropy method, Thiel index, and ESDA (Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis) and explored influencing factors with a spatial econometric model.

Optimal stochastic dynamic scheduling for managing community recovery from natural hazards
TL;DR: Computational results indicate that the restoration policies identified herein significantly outperform the current recovery strategies; the applicability of the method to address different risk attitudes of policymakers, which include risk-neutral and risk-averse attitudes in the community recovery management, is examined.

We need them all: development of a public private people partnership to support a city resilience building process
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a Delphi study that validated the final version of a public private people partnership (4P) development framework composed of 16 successful characteristics classified within three dimensions that need to be implemented to develop 4Ps, the three development stages that 4Ps should go through and an implementation methodology that defines the order for implementing the characteristics based on the three stages.
