First insights from the Flood Resilience Measurement Tool: A large-scale community flood resilience analysis

Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article. Please note that, during the production process, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain.

A typology of community flood resilience

“…The process of measuring community disaster resilience is a necessary first step in order to understand the key capacities that are effective for disaster resilience and the challenges in building them (Keating et al 2017;Campbell et al 2019). While the importance of disaster resilience and its link to sustainable development has been discussed conceptually, a comprehensive method for measuring disaster resilience is needed to benchmark, build, and track progress in order to improve its relationship.…”

“…A detailed overview of FRMC tool sampling methods can be found in Keating et al (2017). Campbell et al (2019) show an overview of the socio-economic variables and the empirical insights of using the FRMC approach.…”

“…In this paper, we begin to systematically assess resilience to flood events, using a holistic and system-based approach. Our dataset captures detailed multi-dimensional attributes of disaster resilience and provides consistent and reliable baseline estimates of community disaster resilience capacity (Campbell et al 2019). We analyze this dataset using a multi-capacity approach that includes aspects of human, financial, social, natural and physical dimensions, as well as other socio-economic indicators.…”

National laws for enhancing flood resilience in the context of climate change: potential and shortcomings

“…In this framework, flood resilience is defined based on the five types of capital i.e. financial (economic assets and financial support), human (knowledge, awareness and skills), natural (ecosystems and eco-services), physical (basic infrastructure and physical protection measures) and social (social networks and public participation) (Campbell et al, 2019;DFID, 1999;Keating et al, 2017;Magnuszewski et al, 2019)see Figure 2. In this framework, the five forms of capital demonstrate the capacity for communities to avoid the creation of new risks, reduce existing risks, prepare for future risks and improve their response to, and recovery from, a flood event.…”

Cluster Around Latent Variable for Vulnerability Towards Natural Hazards, Non-Natural Hazards, Social Hazards in West Papua

“…Resilience is characterized as the ability of a hazard-exposed system, community or society to quickly and effectively sustain, absorb, accommodate and recover from the effects of hazards, including the preservation and restoration of essential basic function and structure [29]. In addition, resilience is also defined as the ability to cope with others and respond to various stress and strain so that it recovers to its former condition [30]. Besides, resilience is a combination of the three main characters.…”
