“…Contrary to other research, Brown et al (2015) found that the size and age of an organisation were not associated with earthquake resilience in Canterbury; rather, the sector of operation was the key. This suggests the need for region-, sector-, and organisation-specific research on resilience.…”

“…Rural commodity production is a key economic driver for New Zealand, and ensuring the resilience of supply chainsfrom pasture to port-is vital. Interconnectedness between organisations (McManus et al 2008;Kachali et al 2012) and staff resilience within organisations was also shown to be an important feature of rural resilience (Leonard et al 2008;Orchiston 2013;Brown et al 2015). Guidance on enhancing employee resilience specifically for rural contexts may reveal new or different stressors and opportunities from their urban counterparts.…”

“…Such work could examine the vulnerability of daily routines dependent on distributed and built infrastructure-roads, electricity, and school attendance, for example-and ensure that they are sufficiently robust to resume functioning as soon as possible (Elms 2015;Beaglehole et al 2017;Thomson et al 2016). At an organisational level, testing insurers to determine their capacity to expedite claims in the event of a crisis would also be useful (Brown et al 2015;Kelly and Smith 2012;Wilson and Cole 2007;Rotimi and Wilkinson 2014).…”

Characterising rural resilience in Aotearoa-New Zealand: a systematic review

The concept of 'resilience' has recently gained traction in a range of contexts. Its various interpretations and framings are now used to examine a variety of issues, particularly relating to the human dimensions of global change. This can pose challenges to scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers seeking to develop focused research programmes, design targeted interventions, and communicate across disciplinary boundaries. The concept of resilience is widely used in Aotearoa-New Zealand, where it informs both government policy and research programmes. Resilience is particularly relevant in this small developed nation, which is heavily reliant on primary production in rural areas and affected by a range of geological and climatic hazards. To understand the range and extent of application of resilience in the rural context, we use systematic review methods to identify, characterise, and synthesise this knowledge base. Currently, research applying the concept of resilience in the rural context is limited in areal extent, largely quantitative in nature, and led by a small number of researchers. There is limited evidence of collaboration. Research has focused on a small number of hazards, failing to capture the diversity of risks and hazards in addition to their impacts. The results of our analysis and methodology offer important insights for meta-analyses of risk and hazard scholarship. The findings provide a baseline to track the future progress and effectiveness of resilience interventions and help inform current and future research priorities targeting persistent vulnerabilities in rural New Zealand and elsewhere.

“…One of the main reasons is the extremely high exposure of companies, i.e., the serious economic consequences of damage. Indeed, damages due to violent seismic events generally arrest production for a certain period, and this may result in significant reductions in revenues in the years following the event; generally, these losses are comparable in scale with repair or reconstruction costs ([2], [3], [4], [5]). Another crucial reason is the negative impact that a prolonged downtime of several productive activities located in the same region could have on the economy and community of that area in the short-to-medium term ( [4], [6]).…”

“…To date, only a few authors have performed probabilistic risk analyses assessing the indirect losses on businesses, despite financial stability of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) can be seriously threatened by downtime ( [4], [13]). Moreover, although several authors have discussed the great potential of the BRSs (e.g.…”

Recent earthquakes in Italy have highlighted the importance of the risk assessment and management for productive activities, due to business interruption (BI) costs. In order to estimate this risk properly, both direct (repair/replacement) and indirect (BI) losses should be quantified. A recent study, calibrated on a real case study-a biomedical packaging company damaged by the 2012 earthquake in Emilia Romagna, Italy, which suffered direct damages and indirect losses and resumed business soon after (Donà et al. 2019, [1])-has shown the significant impact of possible business recovery strategies in reducing the BI losses and thus the company's exposure for the various damage states (defined as in HAZUS-MH MR4, 2003). In this paper, a parametric seismic risk assessment is presented for businesses with an exposure model equal to that obtained by [1] for the real case study, analyzing and comparing various types of structural vulnerability (from HAZUS 2003), seismic hazard and business recovery strategies. The risk estimates were then used to assess the economic justification of the seismic retrofitting of existing RC factories (not seismically damaged), through the discounted payback period of the investment, with respect to the vulnerabilities, hazards and recovery strategies examined. In low-to-medium seismic areas, retrofitting may or may not be cost-effectiveness depending on whether recovery strategies are considered or not. Finally, these estimates on the retrofit effectiveness, which take into account the effects of recovery strategies, are used to address a possible breakdown of the retrofit costs between the company that rents the factory and the building owner, which can be used as reference when the intervention is globally cost-effective and desired by both parties.

Effects of flood‐induced financial stress on the viability of a cooperative production system and its farmers: A multilevel study

Floods can severely disrupt agricultural activities. When these activities are part of production chains, domino effects can occur. We use agent‐based modeling to simulate the production dynamics of a French cooperative winery as an example of a production chain, adopting a dual individual‐collective perspective. The cash‐flow analysis shows that there are nonexplicit mechanisms in the cooperative organization that allow the propagation of flood impacts throughout the chain and influence the winegrowers' ability to cope, thus threatening the continuity of the winegrowers' activity and the cooperative winery itself.
