“…Several studies of this area report stories of social development (Barameda & Barameda, 2011;Arneson et al, 2017), deals with social change (da Silva et al, 2015), the meetings of disaster victims as a space for developing community resilience ( Drolet et al, 2015), innovative community practices (Golding et al, 2020), community learning through adversity and disaster (Igwe & Wordu, 2016), humanity and social sciences (Nicholls et al, 2015), applied social science (Patel & Gleason, 2018), social cohesion and resilience across communities (Townshend et al, 2015) and organization (Burnard, K.J. & Bhamra, R., 2019).…”

PurposeThis study aims to characterize the main research areas of published works, identify the disciplines that associated with the works and propose research agendas for future inquiries, based on a systematic literature review that encompasses 89 research papers from 2010 to 2020.Design/methodology/approachThis review commenced with the definition of the three research questions, and subsequently three steps were followed: (1) defining criteria for research paper selection; (2) specifying the data bases and selecting the papers based on the criteria and (3) data analysis, conclusion and discussion of selected papers. The search was limited to the selection of research papers in English, focusing on “community disaster resilience” which is the subject of this review and referred to as keywords which were used for the online search for papers. All these three words must be present in the title of the selected papers.FindingsThe area “resilience management” and “disaster resilience assessment” accounted for 43% of the studies, and it indicates that research has emphasized the description of how community disaster resilience has been managed and assessed. Three disciplines relating to disaster resilience are disaster risk science, public health and environment, and it indicates that research has fostered core areas of community disaster resilience. Three key research agenda include a growing trend to describe successful efforts to avert a potentially catastrophic disaster through solution-based case studies; a paradigmatic shift and implementation of how communities could help the disaster victims recuperate from disasters.Research limitations/implicationsThis review is limited to the numbers of chosen papers, as only full papers were chosen. However, in order to establish more rigorous and inclusive results of the study, the numbers of citations of published papers to be chosen for future inquiry should be taken into account.Originality/valueThis present review originally investigated how the concept of disaster resilience has been applied at the community level and in related areas. As resilience is a multidisciplinary concept that has been investigated by several different disciplines, such as sustainability, psychology, economy and sociology, this study looked into how disciplines related to community disaster resilience to provide agenda for future inquiries. This study therefore characterized the main research areas of published works, identified the disciplines that associated with the works and proposed a research agenda for future inquiries.

“…Resilience is another concept that incorporates BCP and DRP. According to Teng-Calleja et al (2020), Ferguson (2019) and Burnard and Bhamra (2019), the concept of resilience is relevant to BCP and DRP, yet it should be treated more distinctively since it touches on other aspects, such as vulnerability and hazard at higher social and economic levels.…”

PurposeThere is a noticeable confusion in the literature between Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP). The two expressions are very often used interchangeably especially when it comes to their application. In this paper, the differences between business continuity and disaster recovery are discussed. The disaster management cycle is also addressed in order to highlight the importance of having plans before, during and after the occurrence of an incident.Design/methodology/approachA review of the extant literature on business continuity and disaster recovery was made. A number of different views were then presented in order to provide a better understanding of the two concepts and their potential overlap/connection. The literature review was conducted in 2020 using a variety of academic resources ranging from journal articles to text books and credible Internet websites. Relevant journal articles were obtained from two primary databases: Emerald Insight and EBSCOhost. Keywords, such as DRP, continuity, disruption and BCP, were mainly used to facilitate the search for these resources and other related material.FindingsReviewing the literature revealed that BCP and DRP are not the same. Yet, they are used interchangeably very often in the literature. This indicates a possible relationship/overlap between the two. The relationship between BCP and DRP can be viewed from a variety of perspectives, which altogether provide a better understanding of their purposes and application.Practical implicationsOn top of the need to differentiate between business continuity and disaster recovery, the widespread impact of the current COVID-19 crisis, especially on businesses and supply chains, has unfolded the necessity to deal with business disruptions in all their forms and the significance of quick and effective recovery. This research clarifies the purpose of BCP and the purpose of DRP and their role in combating impacts of disruptive incidents on businesses and organizations.Originality/valueBCP and DRP are discussed extensively in the literature. Yet, few studies attempted to address the precise functions of the two resulting in an obvious confusion between their meaning and purpose which subsequently reduced the uniqueness of their application and the uniqueness of the application of each. Only a small minority of practitioners and academics recognise the precise differences between the two. This study aims at clarifying this misconception to a wider set of readers and interested parties.

“…This first issue purposely contains a variety of papers from practitioners and academics. Three focus on the broader issues surrounding organisational risk and resilience from differing viewpoints (Bell, 2019; Burnard and Bhamra, 2019; Engemann, 2019). Furthermore, one looks at a specific case study (Ferguson, 2019) and the other is a survey (Naghshineh and Lotfi, 2019).…”

Continuity & Resilience Review (CRR): interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and inclusive Welcome The Business Continuity Institute (BCI), Emerald, the Editorial Board and myself would like to warmly welcome you to this new journal. CRR has been set up in response to an identified need for a place where both academics and practitioners can come together to extend and share their knowledge on continuity and resilience. This journal aims to increase the body of knowledge relating to both continuity and resilience as they relate to each other and all aspects of organisations. The scope of the journal is broad and includes topics such as:
