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.

A probabilistic approach for the prediction of seismic resilience of bridges
TL;DR: In this paper, a probabilistic approach for the pre-event assessment of seismic resilience of bridges, including uncertainties associated with expected damage, restoration process, and rebuilding/rehabilitation costs, is proposed.

The Resilience Activation Framework: a conceptual model of how access to social resources promotes adaptation and rapid recovery in post-disaster settings
David M. Abramson,Lynn M. Grattan,Brian Mayer,Craig E. Colten,Farah A. Arosemena,Ariane L. Bedimo-Rung,Maureen Y. Lichtveld +6 more
TL;DR: The Resilience Activation Framework provides a basis for testing how access to social resources, such as formal and informal social support and help, promotes positive adaptation or reduced psychopathology among individuals and communities exposed to the acute collective stressors associated with disasters.

TL;DR: This paper aims to describe and classify different high-impact rare (HR) events, provide a more technical definition of power system resilience, and discuss linkages between resilience and other well-established concepts, such as security and reliability.

Building Resilient Communities: A Preliminary Framework for Assessment
TL;DR: The recent focus on resilience marks a shift from resistance strategies focused solely on the anticipation of risk and the mitigation of vulnerability to more inclusive strategies that integrate both resistance (prevent, protect) and resilience (respond, recover) in the face of disasters as discussed by the authors.
A multi-criteria approach for assessing urban flood resilience in Tehran, Iran
TL;DR: In this paper, a resilience assessment focused on the inherent characteristics and capacities of Tehran in the context of flash floods from surface water or from the overflow of rivers is presented. And a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making method is applied to get Tehran's urban districts ranked based on their resilience levels.
