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.

Multimodal subsidy design for network capacity flexibility optimization
TL;DR: This work proposes a solution in the form of multimodal subsidy design with the goal of optimizing network capacity flexibility by adopting three different measurement approaches, which are based on the concepts of reserve capacity, total capacity flexibility, and limited capacity flexibility respectively.

Enhancing the resilience of ecosystem services under extreme events in socio-hydrological systems: A spatio-temporal analysis
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a new methodology for assessing ESs-based resilience, taking into account the seven resilience principles: redundancy and diversity, managing connectivity, managing slow variables and their feedback, complex adaptive system (CAS) thinking, experimentation and learning, broadening participation, and polycentric governance.

Improving resilience through vulnerability assessment and management
TL;DR: It is argued that vulnerability is an inherent characteristic of any system, hard or soft, and its identification and management is essential for improving the system's resilience.

Measuring Recovery to Build up Metrics of Flood Resilience Based on Pollutant Discharge Data: A Case Study in East China
Jinglu Song,Bo Huang,Rongrong Li +2 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used ordinal logistic regression to identify leading proxies of flood resilience, and a combination of six variables related to socioeconomic factors, infrastructure development and the environment, stood out and explained 61.4% of the variance in measured recovery capability.

A Two-Stage Restoration Resource Allocation Model for Enhancing the Resilience of Interdependent Infrastructure Systems
TL;DR: In this article, a two-stage resource allocation model for enhancing the resilience of interdependent infrastructure systems is proposed, where the first stage is to quickly recover the infrastructure systems' dynamic resilience to meet the basic needs of the users, and the second stage is aimed at minimizing the overall losses in the following recovery process.
