Abstract: This article defines social resilience as the ability of groups or communities to cope with external stresses and disturbances as a result of social, political and environmental change. This definition highlights social resilience in relation to the concept of ecological resilience which is a characteristic of ecosystems to maintain themselves in the face of disturbance. There is a clear link between social and ecological resilience, particularly for social groups or communities that are dependent on ecological and environmental resources for their livelihoods. But it is not clear whether resilient ecosystems enable resilient communities in such situations. This article examines whether resilience is a useful characteristic for describing the social and economic situation of social groups and explores potential links between social resilience and ecological resilience. The origins of this interdisciplinary study in human ecology, ecological economics and rural sociology are reviewed, and a study of the impacts of ecological change on a resourcedependent community in contemporary coastal Vietnam in terms of the resilience of its institutions is outlined. |

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: Using a grounded theory approach, six public inquiry reports were utilized to identify the phases associated with the development of socio-technical disasters. Despite the differences of disasters involved and their technologies, the disasters were found to exhibit common features and characteristics. The findings demonstrated that socio-technical disasters are not sudden cataclysmic events but they evolved in phases with long developmental period. A model of the sequential development of socio-technical disaster is proposed as consisting of ten phases namely operation, incubation, forewarning, activation, onset, rescue and recovery, inquiry and reporting, feedback, social justice, and social and legislation reform. This model reaffirms and advances developmental theory of disasters. | |||||

Abstract: The modern study of stability in ecology can be said to have begun with the appearance of ‘Fluctuations of Animal Populations and a Measure of Community Stability’, by R.H. MacArthur in 1955. Since the publication of this influential paper, ecologists have investigated the properties of a number of different stability and stability-related concepts; the concepts of persistence, resilience, resistance, and variability readily come to mind. Of these various concepts, the concept of resilience itself appears to have been rather resilient. Indeed, as Neubert and Caswell (1997) and others have noted, today there is a vast literature on resilience. However, it is important to note that this literatur—to the best of my knowledge—has been primarily ecological in nature. In other words, the concept of resilience originated in ecology, and this concept has been applied and studied primarily in the context of ecosystems. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: The bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) outbreak in the United Kingdom is regarded as one of the worst public policy crises the British government has experienced during the postwar era. In material terms, it has led to the slaughter of 3.3 million cattle and estimated economic losses of £3.7 billion. In administrative terms, the crisis brought about the dissolution of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. This article examines the istitutional context in which decisions about the scientific evidence on BSE were made. The authors argue that a centralized system in which government agencies control science for government is inherently vulnerable to alliances of experts and interest groups that undermine the credible assessment of public health and safety risks. Specific societal conditions may encourage risk-opportunistic behavior among policy makers that is conducive to delays and inaction until such time as the evidence of a health risk becomes overwhelming. | |||||

Abstract: In the wake of the 11 September 2001 attacks, crisis management has become reprioritized in both the public and the corporate sector. The authors argue that crisis simulations can and should be a crucial feature of preparatory efforts to deal with crises. Drawing from crisis management literature, and their own experience with crisis simulations, they explore how different types of crisis simulations can help crisis managers to prepare for “traditional” disasters as well as modern crises and contingencies. | |||||

Abstract: Modern societies are widely considered to harbour an increased propensity for breakdowns of their critical infrastructure (CI) systems. While such breakdowns have proven rather rare, Hurricane Katrina has demonstrated the catastrophic consequences of such breakdowns. This article explores how public authorities can effectively prepare to cope with these rare events. Drawing from the literature on crisis and disaster management, we examine the strengths and weaknesses of traditional approaches to crisis preparation and crisis response. We argue that the established ways of organising for critical decision-making will not suffice in the case of a catastrophic breakdown. In the immediate aftermath of such a breakdown, an effective response will depend on the adaptive behaviour of citizens, front-line workers and middle managers. In this article, we formulate a set of strategies that enhance societal resilience and identify the strong barriers to their implementation. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
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. |

Abstract: This paper explores the operational and physical resilience of acute care facilities, recognizing that the key dimension of acute care facilities is not a simple engineering unit. Quanti?cation of resilience is ?rst approached from the broader societal context, from which the engineering subproblem is formulated, recognizing that, to operate, hospitals depend intricately on the performance of their physical infrastructure from the integrity of structural systems and nonstructural systems, lifelines, components, and equipment. Quanti?cation relates the probability of exceeding ?oor accelerations andinterstory drifts within a speci?ed limit space, for the structural andnonstructural performance. Linear and nonlinear structural responses areconsidered, as well as the impact of retro?t or repair. Impact on time to recovery is considered in all cases. The proposed framework makes it possible to relate probability functions, fragilities, and resilience in a single integrated approach, and to further develop general tools to quantify resilience for sociopolitical-engineering decisions | |||||

Abstract: We study the effectiveness of recovery strategies for a dynamic model of failure spreading in networks. These strategies control the distribution of resources based on information about the current network state and network topology. In order to assess their success, we have performed a series of simulation experiments. The considered parameters of these experiments are the network topology, the response time delay, and the overall disposition of resources. Our investigations are focused on the comparison of strategies for different scenarios and the determination of the most appropriate strategy. The importance of prompt response and the minimum sufficient quantity of resources are discussed as well. | |||||

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the concept of disaster resilience through the development and application of quantitative measures. As the idea of building disaster-resilient communities gains acceptance, new methods are needed that go beyond estimating monetary losses and that address the complex, multiple dimensions of resilience. These dimensions include technical, organizational, social, and economic facets. This paper first proposes resilience measures that relate expected losses in future disasters to a community's seismic performance objectives. It then demonstrates these measures in a case study of the Memphis, Tennessee, water delivery system. An existing earthquake loss estimation model provides a starting point for quantifying resilience. The analysis compares two seismic retrofit strategies and finds that only one improves community resilience over the status quo. However, it does not raise resilience to an adequate degree. The exercise demonstrates that the resilience framework can be valuable for guiding mitigation and preparedness efforts. However, to fully implement the concept, new research on resilience is needed that goes beyond loss estimation modeling | |||||

Abstract: The concept of seismic resilience needs a unified terminology and a common reference frame for quantitative evaluation. The evaluation can be based on nondimensional analytical functions related to variations of losses within a specified “recovery period”. The resilience must refer to both direct and indirect losses.The path to recovery usually depends on available resources and may take different shapes which can be estimated by proper recovery functions. The loss functions have major uncertainties due to the uncertain nature of the earthquake and structural behavior as well as due to uncertain description of functionality limits. Therefore losses can be described as functions of fragility of systems’components. These fragility functions can be determined through the use of multidimensional performance limit thresholds, which allow considering simultaneously different mechanical-physical variables such as forces, velocities,displacements and accelerations along with other functional limits. A procedurewhich defines resilience as function of losses and loss recovery based onmultidimensional system fragility is formulated and an example is presented for a typical California hospital considering direct and indirect losses in its physical system and in the population served by the system. | |||||

Abstract: This paper explains the fundamental concepts of resilience proposing a unified terminology and establishing a common frame of reference for quantitative evaluation of such seismic resilience. The evaluation is based on a non-dimensional analytical function based on loss recovery within a “recovery period”. Distinction is made between direct and indirect losses. The path to recovery is expressed through the use of different recovery functions. The loss functions are weighted through seismic fragilities of systems’ components. The fragilities are determined through the use of a multidimensional performance limit thresholds that allow considering simultaneously different mechanical-physical variables such as forces, velocities, displacements and accelerations along with other functional limits. The above formulation will be exemplified for a hospital system in California considering direct and indirect losses in its physical system and in the population served by the system. The evaluation is using a bi-dimensional fragility formulation with two performance-limitthresholds based on accelerations and displacements. | |||||

Abstract: This paper addresses an alternative methodology to calculate fragility functions that considers multiple limit states parameters, such as combinations of response variables of accelerations and interstory drifts. Limit states are defined using a generalized multidimensional limit states function that allows considering dependencies among limit thresholds modeled as random variables in the calculation of fragility curves that are evaluated as function of the return period. A California hospital is used as example to illustrate the proposed approach for developing fragility curves. The study investigates the sensitivity of the proposed approach for evaluating fragility curves when uncertainties in limit states are considered. Influence of structural and response parameters, such as stiffness, damping, acceleration and displacement thresholds, ground motion input, and uncertainties in structural modeling, are also investigated. The proposed approach can be considered as an alternative approach for describing the vulnerable behavior of nonstructural components that are sensitive to multiple parameters such as displacements and accelerations (e.g., partition walls, piping systems, etc.). | |||||

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive model to quantify disaster resilience of systems that is defined as the capability to sustain functionality and recover from losses generated by extreme events. The model combines loss estimation and recovery models and can be applied to critical facilities (e.g. hospitals, military buildings, etc.), as well as utility lifelines (e.g. electric power systems, transportation networks, water systems etc.) that are crucial to the response of recovery processes, decisions and policies. Current research trend leads toward the definition of complex recovery models that are able to describe the process over time and the spatial definition of recovery (e.g. meta-models for the case of health care facilities). The model has been applied to a network of hospitals in Memphis, Tennessee. The resilience framework can be used as a decision support tool to increase the resilience index of systems, such as health care facilities, and reduce disaster vulnerability and consequences. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: There is considerable research interest on the meaning and measurement of resilience from a variety of research perspectives including those from the hazards/disasters and global change communities. The identification of standards and metrics for measuring disaster resilience is one of the challenges faced by local, state, and federal agencies, especially in the United States. This paper provides a new framework, the disaster resilience of place (DROP) model, designed to improve comparative assessments of disaster resilience at the local or community level. A candidate set of variables for implementing the model are also presented as a first step towards its implementation. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: Objective. County-level socioeconomic and demographic data were used to construct an index of social vulnerability to environmental hazards, called the Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) for the United States based on 1990 data.Methods. Using a factor analytic approach, 42 variables were reduced to 11 independent factors that accounted for about 76 percent of the variance. These factors were placed in an additive model to compute a summary score—the Social Vulnerability Index.Results. There are some distinct spatial patterns in the SoVI, with the most vulnerable counties clustered in metropolitan counties in the east, south Texas, and the Mississippi Delta region.Conclusion. Those factors that contribute to the overall score often are different for each county, underscoring the interactive nature of social vulnerability—some components increase vulnerability; others moderate the effects. | |||||

Abstract: The world's ‘Critical Infrastructure’ (CI) has increased in size during the three decades between 1975–2006. CIs are those systems that provide critical support services to a country, geographic area for a corporate entity; when they fail, there is potentially a large cost in human life, the environment or economic markets. This article examines the characteristics of new technologies or services that are becoming a part of the CI, but are not yet. The article attempts to systematically define the characteristics of ‘criticality’ in order to better anticipate the types of vulnerabilities these new technologies or services create. | |||||

article | URL |
Abstract: Meta-design of socio-technical systems is an approach which complies with the need of integrating two different types of structures and processes: technical systems which are engineered to provide anticipatable and reliable interactions between users and systems, and social systems which are contingent in their interactions and a subject of evolution. Meta-design is focused on objectives, techniques and processes to allow users to act as designers. In doing so, it does not provide fixed solutions but frameworks within which all stakeholders can contribute to the development of technical functionality and the evolution of the social side such as organizational change, knowledge construction, and collaborative learning. This paper combines the theoretical framework of meta-design and its underlying principles with the consideration of methodological aspects and practical cases. Five different principles are explored: (1) cultures of participation, (2) empowerment for adaptation and evolution, (3) seeding and evolutionary growth, (4) underdesign of models of socio-technical processes, and (5) structuring of communication. Design collaboratories and knowledge management are used as examples to analyse meta-designed socio-technical systems representing socio-technical solutions as well as frameworks within which socio-technical solutions can be developed. The combination of theoretical and methodological consideration leads to a set of practical guidelines for metadesigners. |

Fordyce, K. | The Ongoing Challenge--Improving Organizational Performance with Better Decisions | 2009 | article | URL | |
Abstract: Organizations, from health care facilities to manufacturing giants, can be viewed as an ongoing sequence of loosely coupled decisions where current and future assets are matched with current and future demand across the demand-supply network. Every organization has as a stated goal to “make smarter decisions”. However, each decision is a result of a complex interaction between process (culture), data, and the models (math) used. The net result is an ongoing challenge for the “math” guys to (a) find the right models, (b) get the data, and (c) navigate the political terrain (to prove the usefulness of the new approach, gain its general acceptance, and “move the ball” forward). In many ways, this challenge is similar to the one faced in science for that last 2000 years – the one difference being an entrenched concept of “it’s good enough”. If Ptolemy’s earth centric theory of circle of circles does a “good enough” job of explaining the movement of planets -- why bother with Kepler, Newton, gravity, elliptical orbits, and that complicated math stuff called calculus. This paper will outline some key “Fordyce rules” the author has developed as a successful agent of change since 1977; review two recent applications of “technology that upset the social order”; and take a look back at the Ptolemaic model of the universe in terms of “selling” the model. |

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: The sociotechnical systems (STS) approach is devoted to the effective blending of both the technical and social systems of an organization. These two aspects must be considered interdependently, because arrangements that are optimal for one may not be optimal for the other and trade-offs are often required. Thus, for effective organization design, there is need for both dual focus and joint optimization. This article traces the development of STS from the presentation of its first principles by Eric Trist, its leading founder, who was guided by earlier systems thinking, research on participation, and the action research work of Kurt Lewin, to the present, including discussion of adaptations and refinements that have enhanced its applicability to nonmanufacturing organizations. The approach has more relevance today than ever before, as organizational personnel seek more fruitful means of empowerment and as their organizations strive for greater productivity and viability in increasingly turbulent environments. | |||||

Abstract: The European Union has become increasingly involved with protecting the security and safety of European citizens. The latest addition to this new policy space is critical infrastructure protection (CIP) at the EU level. A central role for the EU in guarding against infrastructural breakdowns and preparing for failures may seem self-evident. In reality, the precise nature of such a role remains unclear. Moreover, enthusiastic rhetoric is not always matched by firm action. This article surveys what the EU has in place in terms of CIP and identifies outstanding issues for debate. | |||||

Abstract: Cette the?se s'inscrit dans le cadre the?orique tre?s ge?ne?ral de la se?curite? des syste?mes complexes. L'objectif principal de cette recherche a e?te? double. Il s'agissait dans un premier temps d'analyser un syste?me sociotechnique a? risques - le syste?me des pe?ches, re?pute? comme le plus dangereux au monde - en adoptant une approche syste?mique fonde?e sur le mode?le de gestion des risques propose? par Rasmussen (1997) ; le but e?tant de mieux comprendre les me?canismes de survenue des abordages en mer. Dans un deuxie?me temps, l'e?tude de ce me?me syste?me a e?te? approfondie (1. e?tude des prises de de?cision des patrons pe?cheurs dans des situations de conflits entre production et se?curite? ; 2. mise a? l'e?preuve de deux strate?gies de se?curisation) pour permettre d'apporter un e?clairage supple?mentaire sur la relation entre se?curite?/re?silience, et plus largement pour discuter des strate?gies de se?curisation des syste?mes a? risques. Les re?sultats obtenus sugge?rent une articulation entre se?curite? et re?silience diffe?rente de celle propose?e dans la litte?rature. Il apparai?t que la re?silience est une forme de se?curite? (autoge?re?e), tre?s pre?sente dans les syste?mes peu su?rs, qui s'applique aux savoirs faire pour traiter les situations rares et de?stabilisantes. La re?silience a? elle seule ne peut e?tre en mesure de procurer un grand niveau de se?curite?. Ce constat est en rupture avec l'ide?e selon laquelle un syste?me re?silient EST un syste?me su?r. Les strate?gies de se?curisation discute?es conside?rent la re?silience comme une voie possible pour concilier les objectifs de production et de se?curite?, sans qu'une augmentation de l'un ne conduise ne?cessairement a? la diminution de l'autre (et inversement). This thesis is situated within the general theoretical framework of the safety of complex systems. This research has had two main objectives. The first stage was the analysis of a risky socio-technical system - the fishing system, said to be the most dangerous in the world - adopting a systemic approach based on the risk management model put forward by Rasmussen (1997). The purpose was to reach a better understanding of the mechanisms which bring about collisions at sea. The second stage was an in-depth study of the same system (1. study of the decision-making process of fishing skippers in situations of conflict between safety and production; 2. testing of two safety-improving strategies), to shed additional light on the relationship between safety and resilience, and in a wider sense to discuss safety-improving strategies for risky systems. Our findings suggest a different articulation between safety and resilience than the one reflected in the specialized literature. It appears that resilience is a form of (self-managed) safety, very much present in unsafe systems, which applies to the skills and know-hows needed for dealing with rare and destabilizing situations. Resilience in itself cannot provide a high level of safety. This conclusion represents a clean break from the idea according to which a resilient system IS a safe system.The safety-improving strategies discussed here consider resilience as a possible way of reconciling production objectives and safety, so that an increase on one side does not necessarily lead to a decrease of the other (and vice versa). |

Gaillard, J. | Resilience of traditional societies in facing natural hazards | 2007 | Disaster Prevention and Management Vol. 16(4), pp. 522-544 |
article | URL |
Abstract: Purpose – This article sets out to address the response of traditional societies in facing natural hazards through the lens of the concept of resilience. Design/methodology/approach – This paper considers that resilient societies are those able to overcome the damage caused by the occurrence of natural hazards, either through maintaining their pre-disaster social fabric, or through accepting marginal or larger change in order to survive. The discussion is based on a review of the corpus of case studies available in the literature. Findings – The present article suggests that the capacity of resilience of traditional societies and the concurrent degree of cultural change rely on four factors, namely: the nature of the hazard, the pre-disaster socio-cultural context and capacity of resilience of the community, the geographical setting, and the rehabilitation policy set up by the authorities. These factors significantly vary in time and space, from one disaster to another. Practical implications – It is important to perceive local variations of the foregoing factors to better anticipate the capability of traditional societies to overcome the damage caused by the occurrence of natural hazards and therefore predict eventual cultural change. Originality/value – This article takes off from the previous vulnerability-driven literature by emphasizing the resilience of traditional societies. |

Abstract: The technologies of mobile communications and ubiquitous computing pervade our society, and wireless networks sense the movement of people and vehicles, generating large volumes of mobility data. Miniaturization, wearability, pervasiveness of mobile devices are producing traces of our mobile activity, with increasing positioning accuracy and semantic richness: location data from mobile phones (Global System for Mobile Communications: GSM cell positions), Geographic Positioning System (GPS) tracks from mobile devices receiving geo-positions from satellites, etc. The objective of the GeoPKDD (Geographic Privacy-aware Knowledge Discovery and Delivery), a project funded by European Commission under the Future and emerging technologies (FET) program of the 6th Framework(FP6), has been to discover useful knowledge about human movement behavior from mobility data, while preserving the privacy of the people under observation. Pursuing this ambitious objective, the GeoPKDD project has started a new exciting multidisciplinary research area, at the crossroads of mobility, data mining, and privacy. This paper gives a short overview of the envisaged research challenges and the project achievements. |

article | URL |
Abstract: Cities are complex and interdependent systems, extremely vulnerable to threats from both natural hazards and terrorism. This paper proposes a comprehensive strategy of urban hazard mitigation aimed at the creation of resilient cities, able to withstand both types of threats. The paper reviews hazard mitigation practice, defines a resilient city, considers the relationship between resilience and terrorism, and discusses why resilience is important and how to apply its principles to physical and social elements of cities. Contending that current hazard mitigation policy, practice, and knowledge fail to deal with the unique aspects of cities under stress, the paper recommends a major resilient cities initiative, including expanded urban systems research, education and training, and increased collaboration among professional groups involved in city building and hazard mitigation. |

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: There is a systematic deflation in governmental rhetoric of the developments that call attention to the unequal distribution of goods and services and a systematic inflation of the forms of threat that legitimize and expand authority. The latter are defined as crises, the former as problems. As crises recur and problems persist, so does a governmental dramaturgy of coping. (Edelman, 1977: 49)This article proposes a more power-critical approach to the analysis of crisis management and, in this respect, explores the possible contribution of research on political and organizational symbolism. Viewed in terms of symbolic action, attention is drawn to the opportunity spaces that crises entail for policy makers and other crisis actors. To exploit these, it is important for decision elites to influence collective definitions of the situation in such a way as to highlight preferred courses of action and to selectively obscure alternative interpretations. Three types of symbolic ‘crisis handling devices’ (framing, ritualization and masking) are presented and illustrated. In conclusion, the need for a broader perspective on the nature of the politics of crisis management is emphasised. | |||||

article | URL |
Abstract: The Sydney water scare shares with numerous contemporary policy issues a complex intermeshing of ‘fact’ and ‘value’. An examination of the institutional reforms that resolved this matter shows the ‘appeals to the facts’ that dominated contemporary commentary to be both misleading and counterproductive. The emphasis on process that emerges reflects recent approaches to science in policy which, in acknowledging a key role for values, privilege decision processes over technical analyses, highlight community involvement, and stress discursive procedures and fora over more conventional rational choice models of decision making. Ultimately we need to reconceive the fact/value distinction and how it frames science in politics. |

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: Using data from the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) for 1984-2006, we find several trends. We find that the frequency of large blackouts in the United States has not decreased over time, that there is a statistically significant increase in blackout frequency during peak hours of the day and during late summer and mid-winter months (although non-storm-related risk is nearly constant through the year) and that there is strong statistical support for the previously observed power-law statistical relationship between blackout size and frequency. We do not find that blackout sizes and blackout durations are significantly correlated. These trends hold even after controlling for increasing demand and population and after eliminating small events, for which the data may be skewed by spotty reporting. Trends in blackout occurrences, such as those observed in the North American data, have important implications for those who make investment and policy decisions in the electricity industry. We provide a number of examples that illustrate how these trends can inform benefit-cost analysis calculations. Also, following procedures used in natural disaster planning we use the observed statistical trends to calculate the size of the 100-year blackout, which for North America is 186,000 MW. | |||||

Abstract: Resilience is an inherent ability of a system to absorb a significant negative change and then return to an acceptable state. Resilience is therefore a function of a system?s vulnerabilities and its ability to adapt. This research will assess the resiliency of the United States national energy infrastructure when faced with natural and man-made disasters. Threats and vulnerabilities of petroleum infrastructure and availability will be examined. Case studies of petroleum infrastructure in and along the Gulf of Mexico will also be examined when faced with a significant natural disaster, with emphasis on the impacts of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Case studies of cascading power failures affecting the national electrical grid either initiated or propagated by man-made errors will also be examined. Event tree analysis will be used to perform a risk assessment of the natural and man-made disasters as they impact national energy infrastructure. Areas of potential resilience will be proposed and examined paying particular attention to those areas that can be readily implemented. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: Decisions about disaster preparedness are rarely informed by cost-benefit analyses. This paper presents an economic model to address the thorny question, ‘how prepared is prepared enough?’ Difficulties related to the use of cost-benefit analysis in the field of disaster management concern the tension between the large number of high-probability events that can be handled by a single emergency response unit and the small number of low-probability events that must be handled by a large number of them. A further special feature of disaster management concerns the opportunity for cooperation between different emergency response units. To account for these issues, we introduce a portfolio approach. Our analysis shows that it would be useful to define disaster preparedness not in terms of capacities, but in terms of the frequency with which response capacity is expected to fall short. | |||||

article | URL |
Abstract: The redundancy of a structure refers to the extent of degradation which the structure can suffer without losing some specified elements of its functionality. However, since future structural degradation is unknown during design and analysis, it is evident that structural redundancy is related to robustness against uncertainty. We propose a quantitative and widely applicable concept of “strong redundancy” and show its relation to the info-gap robustness of the structure. In particular, one of our propositions establishes general conditions in which the strong redundancy is equivalent to the robustness. We also define a concept of “weak redundancy” and present propositions which relate it to the strong redundancy and the robustness. We illustrate our results with several heuristic and engineering examples. |

Klein, R., Smit, M., Goosen, H. & Hulsbergen, C. | Resilience and vulnerability: Coastal dynamics or Dutch dikes? | 1998 | The Geographical Journal Vol. 164(3), pp. 259-260 |
article | URL |
Abstract: This paper describes coastal resilience as a measure of the extent to which a coast is able to respond to external pressures without losing actual or potential functions. Such usage of the term gives coastal scientists, planners and managers a new opportunity to express complex coastal dynamics in a simple aggregated form. Coastal resilience has morphological, ecological and socio-economic components, each of which represents another aspect of the coastal system's adaptive capacity to perturbations. Enhancing coastal resilience is increasingly viewed as a cost-effective way to prepare for uncertain future changes while maintaining opportunities for coastal development. The Netherlands has known a long tradition of controlling natural coastal processes by stringent dune management and building hard sea-defence structures. However, both socio-economic and natural adaptive processes have become constrained owing to the limited availability of land and the diminished coastal resilience that has resulted from technological solutions and legal provisions. The recent study Growing with the Sea proposes to restore natural coastal processes along the Dutch coast and let natural and socio-economic systems interact more dynamically. It explores possibilities of enhancing coastal resilience in The Netherlands by allowing managed retreat in areas where it is environmentally acceptable and reclaiming land in other areas. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: Resilience is widely seen as a desirable system property in environmental management. This paper explores the concept of resilience to natural hazards, using weather-related hazards in coastal megacities as an example. The paper draws on the wide literature on megacities, coastal hazards, hazard risk reduction strategies, and resilience within environmental management. Some analysts define resilience as a system attribute, whilst others use it as an umbrella concept for a range of system attributes deemed desirable. These umbrella concepts have not been made operational to support planning or management. It is recommended that resilience only be used in a restricted sense to describe specific system attributes concerning (i) the amount of disturbance a system can absorb and still remain within the same state or domain of attraction and (ii) the degree to which the system is capable of self-organisation. The concept of adaptive capacity, which has emerged in the context of climate change, can then be adopted as the umbrella concept, where resilience will be one factor influencing adaptive capacity. This improvement to conceptual clarity would foster much-needed communication between the natural hazards and the climate change communities and, more importantly, offers greater potential in application, especially when attempting to move away from disaster recovery to hazard prediction, disaster prevention, and preparedness. | |||||

Abstract: Public policy consideration of ‘critical infrastructure’ (CI) has exploded in the past dozen years; pressed on western audiences by the unhappy experiences of traumatic disasters visited upon the US, Europe and south Asia in the early 2000s. The litany is fearsome: the attack on New York City’s twin towers, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita blasting through the Gulf Coast, the tsunami tidal wave in Indonesia, the bombings in Madrid and London. These events in the US and Europe have reinforced repeated rounds of posing unsettling questions about learning from these dramatic episodes. Indeed, the article by Boin and McConnell (this issue) cogently draws together many of the insights resulting from these disasters’ grievous consequences. |

In this work we use the concept of operations decoupling in manufacturing systems to place bu?ers between each operation in order to reduce sequential interdependence between downstream and upstream operations. This will also maintain the output of the production line. Some formulas are developed to compute steady-state performance measures and expected production, including the reliability of the system. | |||||

Abstract: ABSTRACT We, as a society, find ourselves confronted with a spectrum of potentially catastrophic and irreversible environmental problems, for which conventional approaches will not suffice in providing solutions. These problems are characterized, above all, by their unpredictability. This means that surprise is to be expected, and that sudden qualitative shifts in dynamics present serious problems for management. In general, it is difficult to detect strong signals of change early enough to motivate effective solutions, or even to develop scientific consensus on a time scale rapid enough to allow effective solution. Furthermore, such signals, even when detected, are likely to be displaced in space or sector from the source, so that the motivation for action is small. Conventional market mechanisms thus will be inadequate to address these challenges. | |||||

Abstract: In times of public danger such as natural disasters and health emergencies, a country’s communication systems will be some of its most important assets because access to information will make individuals and groups more resilient. Communication by those charged with dealing with the situation is often critical. We analyzed reports from a wide variety of crisis incidents and found a direct correlation between trust and an organization’s preparedness and internal coordination of crisis communication and the effectiveness of its leadership. Thus, trust is one of the most important variables in effective communication management in times of “surprise.” |

Abstract: Healthcare organizations today are faced with many new technological, regulatory, and political demands. However, the care of the patient must still remain the primary focus while maintaining fiscal responsibilities. This is difficult and requires employees and organizations to be resilient¾able to respond quickly and effectively, especially under stress and with minimal supervision. This paper reports results from a pilot study designed to construct measurement scales for organizational resilience. Six factors explaining over half the instrument variance were found, including goal-directed solution-seeking, avoidance, critical understanding, role dependence, multiple source reliance, and resource access. Acute-care hospitals in Michigan constituted the study setting. |

Manyena, S.B. | The concept of resilience revisited | 2006 | Disasters Vol. 30(4), pp. 434-450 |
article | DOI URL |
Abstract: Abstract The intimate connections between disaster recovery by and the resilience of affected communities have become common features of disaster risk reduction programmes since the adoption of The Hyogo Framework for Action 2005–2015. Increasing attention is now paid to the capacity of disaster-affected communities to ‘bounce back’ or to recover with little or no external assistance following a disaster. This highlights the need for a change in the disaster risk reduction work culture, with stronger emphasis being put on resilience rather than just need or vulnerability. However, varied conceptualisations of resilience pose new philosophical challenges. Yet achieving a consensus on the concept remains a test for disaster research and scholarship. This paper reviews the concept in terms of definitional issues, the role of vulnerability in resilience discourse and its meaning, and the differences between vulnerability and resilience. It concludes with some of the more immediately apparent implications of resilience thinking for the way we view and prepare for disasters. | |||||

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to deepen our understanding of post-crisis reform processes and learning through (a) development of a `policy configuration’ perspective and (b) a case study of the 1998 Sydney water crisis in New South Wales, Australia, when drinking water became contaminated by potentially lethal parasites: cryptosporidium and giarda. It explores the way in which the process of reform and learning can be shaped by what this paper calls the `policy configuration’ of the particular policies undergoing intense scrutiny. First, the paper lays out the conceptual scene by exploring the nature of `crisis’ and `learning’, as well as outlining the core aspects of a policy configuration approach. Second, it identifies four hypotheses which focus on the way in which the pre-crisis configuration of a policy sphere, can both help and hinder reform processes (and their advocates) in the wake of a crisis. Third, it focuses on the Sydney water crisis itself, and deals with the course of events, the inquiry, and the aftermath. Fourth, it returns to the policy configuration hypotheses and tests them in the light of the case study. Finally, it concludes by drawing together the analysis and providing some pointers for further research. |

Abstract: Crisis management is an increasingly important activity of British government. Recent years have seen crises associated with foot?and?mouth disease, fuel protests, Millennium Dome, rail safety, school examinations, September 11, food safety, firefighters dispute, countryside issues and asylum seekers. Earlier experiences include the poll tax, BSE and HIV/AIDS. This article provides an overview of crisis management in British government. It focuses particularly on (1) outlining the main variables shaping response patterns, (2) examining the main response patterns such as agenda management, centralisation, decentralisation, bureaucratic politics and strategic evasion, and (3) exploring the difficulties in judging the ‘success’ or ‘failure’ of crisis management activities. It concludes by suggesting that crisis management in British government is at heart a political activity. | |||||

Abstract: Crisis management logic suggests that planning and preparing for crisis should be a vital part of institutional and policy toolkits. This paper explores the difficulties in translating this ideal into practice. It focuses on four key difficulties. First, crises and disasters are low probability events but they place large demands on resources and have to compete against front-line service provision. Second, contingency planning requires ordering and coherence of possible threats, yet crisis is not amenable to being packaged in such a predictable way. Third, planning for crisis requires integration and synergy across institutional networks, yet the modern world is characterised by fragmentation across public, private and voluntary sectors. Fourth, robust planning requires active preparation through training and exercises, but such costly activities often produced a level of symbolic readiness which does not reflect operational realities. Finally the paper reflects on whether crisis preparedness is a ‘mission impossible’, even in the post-9/11 period when contingency planning seems to be an issue of high political salience. | |||||

McCown, R.L. | Locating agricultural decision support systems in the troubled past and socio-technical complexity of [`]models for management' | 2002 | Agricultural Systems Vol. 74(1), pp. 11 - 25 |
article | DOI URL |
Abstract: Although not conspicuous in its literature, agricultural modelling and its applications have inherited much from the field of operational (operations) research. In the late 1940s, techniques for mathematically simulating processes came into agricultural science directly from industry. The decision support system (DSS) concept followed almost 40 years later. It seems that the large differences between farm production and its management and industrial production and its management account for the failure of agricultural systems scientists to be more attentive students of the experiences in this parent field. In hindsight, the penalty of this is greatest in the matter of the problematic socio-technical relationship between scientific models built to guide practice and actual practice. As a socio-technical innovation, the agricultural DSS has much more in common with DSSs in business and industry than might be expected judging by the domain knowledge content. One implication is that the crisis in the parent field concerning the [`]problem of implementation' could have served as a cautionary tale for agriculture. Although this opportunity was missed, it is not too late to tap problem-structuring and problem-solving insights from operations research/management science to aid our thinking about our own [`]problem of implementation'. This paper attempts this in constructing a framework for thinking about subsequent papers in this Special Issue. | |||||

Abstract: The following article discusses the current emphasis and attention being given to the future of emergency management, as well as theoretical constructs designed to guide research and help practitioners reduce disaster. It illustrates that while the disaster-resistant community, disaster-resilient community, and sustainable development/sustainable hazards mitigation concepts provide many unique advantages for disaster scholarship and management, they fail to sufficiently address the triggering agents, functional areas, actors, variables, and disciplines pertaining to calamitous events. In making this argument, the article asserts that any future paradigm and policy guide must be built on—yet go further than—comprehensive emergency management. The article also reviews and alters the concept of invulnerable development. Finally, the article presents “comprehensive vulnerability management� as a paradigm and suggests that it is better suited to guide scholarly and practitioner efforts to understand and reduce disasters than the aforementioned perspectives. | |||||

Review: We set out the foundations for developing robust models of community recovery from earthquake disasters. These models are a core requirement of decision support tools for increasing community resilience and reducing social vulnerability. We first present a comprehensive conceptual model of recovery. The conceptual model enumerates important relationships between attributes of a community’s lifeline network, households, and businesses. The conceptual model can be operationalized to create a numerical model of recovery. To demonstrate this, we present a prototype model and graphical user interface. Being intended for decision support, it is important to involve potential model users in model development. We conducted a workshop involving Puget Sound, WA area disaster management practitioners to elicit model development needs using the prototype as stimulus. | |||||

Abstract: This paper sets out the foundations for developing robust models of community recovery from earthquake disasters. Models that anticipate post-disaster trajectories are complementary to loss estimation models that predict damage and loss. Such models can serve as important decision support tools for increasing community resilience and reducing disaster vulnerability. The paper first presents a comprehensive conceptual model of recovery. The conceptual model enumerates important relationships between a community's households, businesses, lifeline networks, and neighborhoods. The conceptual model can be operationalized to create a numerical model of recovery. To demonstrate this, we present a prototype computer simulation model and graphical user interface. As the model is intended for decision support, it is important to involve potential users in model development. We conducted a focus group involving Puget Sound, Washington, area disaster management practitioners to elicit local insight about community recovery and model development needs, using the prototype as stimulus. Important focus group issues included potential model inputs, useful recovery indicators, potential uses of recovery models, and suitable types of software systems | |||||

Nudell, M. & Antokol, N. | The handbook for effective emergency and crisis management | 1988 | No.: ISBN 0-669-17140-9, pp. 192 | article | URL |
Abstract: A wide range of situations are covered, from natural or industrial disasters to political and criminal acts. Since good crisis management is proactive, not reactive, this handbook clarifies exactly what kind of advance preparation is needed to make the critical difference in surviving a crisis. It provides guidance in shaping the right implementation plan for an organization's specific needs. After discussing the dynamics of crises, this book addresses risk assessment, elements of effective crisis management, policy issues in crisis planning, organizing the crisis action team, and the location and layout of the crisis management center. Chapters also consider crisis communications, victims, simulation tests for the crisis action plan, and the debriefing process following the disaster. Appendixes include names and addresses of more than 80 organizations and persons to consult for information and assistance, statistics on disasters in the United States and abroad, and a simulation outline. Each chapter concludes with a checklist, and numerous diagrams and tables make excellent training aids. Chapter notes, 87-item bibliography, subject index. | |||||

Abstract: The Department of Homeland Security DHS) is responsible for strengthening national preparedness to prevent and respond to threatened or actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. DHS has developed a national preparedness goal that adopts a capabilities-based planning approach: Capabilities provide the means to accomplish a mission or function through the performance of critical tasks under specified conditions and standards. Capabilities-based planning provides capabilities suitable for a wide range of threats and hazards, working within an economic framework that necessitates prioritization and choice. In developing a national preparedness goal, DHS addressed three fundamental questions: How prepared do we need to be? How prepared are we? How do we prioritize efforts to close the gap? The target capabilities list (TCL) describes the capabilities required to prepare the nation for major all-hazards events (see box, page 5). The list identifies 37 capabilities related to the four missions of homeland security: prevent, protect, respond, and recover. The TCL provides a guide for developing a national network of capabilities that will be available when needed. | |||||

Abstract: With regard to their utility in predicting the adoption of household hazard preparations, traditional approaches to public education directed at increasing awareness and/or risk perception have proven ineffective. Discusses reasons why this may have occurred from public education, vulnerability analysis, and community resilience perspectives and outlines strategies for enhancing preparedness. Describes a model of resilience to hazard effects that has been tested in different communities and for different hazards (toxic waste, environmental degradation and volcanic hazards). Drawing upon the health education literature, introduces a model for promoting the adoption on preparatory behaviour. Discusses links between these models, and the need for their implementation within a community development framework. | |||||

article | URL |
Abstract: Rapid estimates of hospital capacity after an event that may cause a disaster can assist disaster-relief efforts. Due to the dynamics of hospitals, following such an event, it is necessary to accurately model the behavior of the system. A transient modeling approach using simulation and exponential functions is presented, along with its applications in an earthquake situation. The parameters of the exponential model are regressed using outputs from designed simulation experiments. The developed model is capable of representing transient, patient waiting times during a disaster. Most importantly, the modeling approach allows real-time capacity estimation of hospitals of various sizes and capabilities. Further, this research is an analysis of the effects of priority-based routing of patients within the hospital and the effects on patient waiting times determined using various patient mixes. The model guides the patients based on the everity of injuries and queues the patients requiring critical care depending on their remaining survivability time. The model also accounts the impact of prehospital transport time on patient waiting time. | |||||

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to propose a theoretical background in order to model the robustness of complex socio technical systems. We begin by clarifying the difference between robustness, resilience and regulation. We propose three categories of regulation: classic; structural; and emergent and self-organised. Using examples from our previous work, we show how emergent and self organised regulation can play a critical role in achieving robust socio technical systems. The ultimate goal of our work is to help design more robust socio-complex systems. To this end, we suggest that the ergonomics of complex systems implies different types of engineering: classical engineering, resilience engineering, and finally robustness engineering. The latter, being situated in distributed and complex systems theory, allows us to explain and manage the dynamic non-deterministic nature of robust socio complex systems. Using a multi-agent systems (MAS) approach we describe the development of a simulator of an emergency control room which can virtually assess the robustness of a new organisation in relationship to predetermined scenario. | |||||

Pidgeon, N. & O'Leary, M. | Man-made disasters: why technology and organizations (sometimes) fail | 2000 | Safety Science Vol. 34(1-3), pp. 15 - 30 |
article | DOI URL |
Abstract: The paper presents a systems view of the organizational preconditions to technological accidents and disasters, and in particular the seminal #Man-made##Disasters##model# proposed by the late Professor Barry Turner. Events such as Chernobyl, the Challenger and Bhopal have highlighted the fact that in seeking the causes of many modern large-scale accidents we must now consider as key the interaction between technology and organizational failings. Such so-called [`]organizational accidents' stem from an incubation of latent errors and events which are at odds with the culturally taken for granted, accompanied by a collective failure of organizational intelligence. Theoretical models have also moved on now, from purely post hoc descriptions of accidents and their causes, in the attempt to specify [`]safe' cultures and [`]high-reliability' organizations. Recent research, however, has shown us that while effective learning about hazards is a common assumption of such attempts, organizations can be very resistant to learning the full lessons from past incidents and mistakes. Two common barriers to learning from disasters are: (1) information difficulties; and (2) blame and organizational politics. Ways of addressing these barriers are discussed, and the example of aviation learning systems, as an illustration of institutional self-design, is outlined. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: In this article, the theoretical debate between two dominant schools on the origins of accidents and reliability, Normal Accident Theory and High Reliability Theory, is continued and evaluated. Normal Accident Theory holds that, no matter what organizations do, accidents are inevitable in complex, tightly–coupled systems. High Reliability Theory asserts that organizations can contribute significantly to the prevention of accidents. To break through this deadlock, the mutual effects of complexity and tight–coupling, on the one hand, and reliability–enhancing strategies, on the other, are examined. It becomes clear that the theories are sometimes in conflict but that sometimes they also reach similar conclusions when applied to case events or generic safety problems. Cross–fertilization is, therefore, possible. | |||||

Abstract: Our national security, economic prosperity, and national well-being are dependent upon a set of highly interdependent critical infrastructures. Examples of these infrastructures include the national electrical grid, oil and natural gas systems, telecommunication and information networks, transportation networks, water systems, and banking and financial systems. Given the importance of their reliable and secure operations, understanding the behavior of these infrastructures – particularly when stressed or under attack – is crucial. Models and simulations can provide considerable insight into the complex nature of their behaviors and operational characteristics. These models and simulations must include interdependencies among infrastructures if they are to provide accurate representations of infrastructure characteristics and operations. A number of modeling and simulation approaches under development today directly address interdependencies and offer considerable insight into the operational and behavioral characteristics of critical infrastructures. | |||||

Abstract: Natural disasters, unintended disasters (largely industrial and technological), and deliberate disasters have all increased in number and intensity in the United States in the last quarter century2(see Figure 32.1) In the United States we may prevent some and mitigate some, but we can’t escape them. At present, we focus on protecting the targets and mitigating the consequences, and we should do our best at that. But our organizations are simply not up to the challenge from the increasing number of disasters. What we can more profitably do is reduce the size of the targets, that is, reduce the concentrations of energy found in hazardous materials, the concentration of power in vital organizations, and the concentrations of humans in risky locations. Smaller, dispersed targets of nature’s wrath, industrial accidents, or terrorist’s aim will kill fewer and cause less economic and social disruption. | |||||

Abstract: Disasters and crises have been part of the human experience since people started living in groups. Through the centuries, however, new hazards and risks have emerged that have added to the possibilities of new disasters and crises arising from them. Only a very small fraction of risks and hazards actually lead to a disaster or crisis, but they are usually a necessary condition for such surfacing. New types have emerged while older ones have not disappeared. The development of synthetic chemicals in the 19th century and nuclear power in the 20th century created the risk of toxic chemical disasters and crises from radioactive fallouts. Ancient disasters such as floods and earthquakes remain with us today. This chapter raises the question of whether we are at another important historical juncture with the emergence of a new distinctive class of disasters and crises not seen before. | |||||

Abstract: As units of analysis in disaster research, businesses have only recently begun to be studied. Far more research has been conducted on public sector organizations such as local emergency management agencies, public safety agencies, and other governmental organizations. Researchers studying the economic impacts of disasters have tended to focus on units of analysis that are larger than individual firms and enterprises, such as community and regional economies. Until fairly recently, very little was known regarding such topics as business vulnerability, loss-reduction measures adopted by businesses, disaster impacts on businesses, and business recovery. Systematic research was lacking despite the singular importance of businesses for society. Private businesses provide a vast array of goods and services that literally make life possible in our complex global economy. A recent governmental report on the U.S. critical infrastructure points out that [t]he lion’s share of our critical infrastructures and key assets are owned and operated by the private sector (White House, 2003, p. 32)1. Businesses are the foundation of local, regional, and national economies; when businesses are affected by disasters, that disruption produces not only direct business losses, but also indirect losses and economic ripple effects. Destruction of and damage to businesses, along with disaster-related closures, result in the loss of jobs, negatively affecting incomes and creating even greater challenges for households, neighborhoods, and communities as they attempt to recover from disasters. After disasters, business owners face a host of challenges, including how to finance business recovery, and often how to cope simultaneously with damage to both business and residential property. Disasters can produce both psychological distress and additional debt burdens for business owners. At the community level, business destruction and damage can result in lost tax revenues for communities and can undermine the viability of business and commercial districts. | |||||

article | URL |
Abstract: Three difficulties confront researchers in the resilience arena. At the conceptual level, there is the need to identify resilient actions, including those that may seem to violate established norms, such as rational behavior. At the operational level, it may be difficult to model individual, group, and community behavior in a single framework. At the empirical level, it is especially difficult to gather data on resilience to specify models. The purpose of this paper is to summarize progress on all three planes. First, defines several important dimensions of economic resilience to disasters. Second, shows how computable general equilibrium modeling represents a useful framework for analyzing the behavior of individuals, businesses, and markets. Third, summarizes recent progress in the conceptual and empirical modeling of resilience, including the incorporation of disequilibria and the recalibration of key behavioral parameters on the basis of empirical data. Fourth, uses the results of a case study to illustrate some important issues relating to the subject. | |||||

Abstract: This research provides an in-depth analysis of economic resilience to earthquakes. It fi ne-tunes the defi nition to distinguish inherent and adaptive considerations, and it distinguishes the various levels at which resilience is operative. It explicitly links resilience to the behavior of individuals, markets, and the regional macroeconomy, including disequilibrium aspects of each. Finally, it examines the complementarities and tradeoffs between resilience and mitigation. The research is intended to reduce losses from earthquakes by helping to capitalize on and enhance the resilience of business and market operations. | |||||

Rose, A. & Liao, S.-Y. | Modeling Regional Economic Resilience to Disasters: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis of Water Service Disruptions* | 2005 | Journal of Regional Science Vol. 45(1), pp. 75-112 |
article | DOI URL |
Abstract: Abstract‚ Recent natural and manmade disasters have had significant regional economic impacts. These effects have been muted, however, by the resilience of individual businesses and of regional markets, which refers to the inherent ability and adaptive responses that enable firms and regions to avoid potential losses. Computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis is a promising approach to disaster impact analysis because it is able to model the behavioral response to input shortages and changing market conditions. However, without further refinement, CGE models, as well as nearly all other economic models, reflect only “business-as-usualâ€? conditions, when they are based on historical data. This paper advances the CGE analysis of major supply disruptions of critical inputs by: specifying operational definitions of individual business and regional macroeconomic resilience, linking production function parameters to various types of producer adaptations in emergencies, developing algorithms for recalibrating production functions to empirical or simulation data, and decomposing partial and general equilibrium responses. We illustrate some of these contributions in a case study of the sectoral and regional economic impacts of a disruption to the Portland Metropolitan Water System in the aftermath of a major earthquake. | |||||

article | DOI |
Abstract: We develop a graph-theoretic model for service-oriented networks and propose metrics that quantify the resilience of such networks under node and edge failures. These metrics are based on the topological structure of the network and the manner in which services are distributed over the network. We present efficient algorithms to determine the maximum number of node and edge failures that can be tolerated by a given service-oriented network. These algorithms rely on known algorithms for computing minimum cuts in graphs. We also present efficient algorithms for optimally allocating services over a given network so that the resulting service-oriented network can tolerate single node or edge failures. These algorithms are derived through a careful analysis of the decomposition of the underlying network into appropriate types of connected components. | |||||

Abstract: Bureau-political tensions and competition are an often neglected, yet crucial element in crisis management. Bureau-politics in crisis management runs counter to pervasive notions that portray centralization and concentration of power as the dominant mode of administrative response to crisis. This article presents empirical evidence suggesting the importance of bureau-politics in the planning, response and post-crisis stages of crisis management at both strategic and operational levels of action. Again contrary to conventional wisdom, it is argued that such interagency tensions may fulfill various positive functions: they put crisis agencies to the test; they serve to counteract ‘groupthink tendencies; they foster a certain degree of openness; and they may facilitate democratic control of far-reaching crisis management policies. | |||||

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: In his book, Organized Behavior in Disaster, Russell Dynes classifies organizations that respond to emergencies four ways – regular, expanding, extending and emergency. He bases this on an analysis of research done mainly in the United States. This article examines whether these typologies fit a 1998 ice storm that left about one-fifth of Canadians without power. The conclusion is that the typologies do fit. However, in the case of the ice storm the ‘emergent’ groups were formed from within rather than outside the established response structure. As a result, there was none of the expected conflict between existing and emergent organizations. The lesson for planners is that if they adapt rapidly to changing circumstances and are ready to sponsor or include emergent groups in their existing structure they can reduce or eliminate conflict. | |||||

Abstract: Major Hazard Installations (MHIs) deal with the hazardous substances which exceed the threshold quantity. Although MHIs are safe organizations, they cannot fail due to a single error. However, due to their high complexity, the designer and the operator make errors during the design, and operation of the plants. Consequently, the technical, operational and organizational errors may lead to a major accident. The world has seen many incidents due to the operation of the MHIs. Malaysia has experienced several technological disasters. Four investigation reports have been reviewed in detail. This paper reviews the causes of the technological disasters in general. This paper also summarizes the causes of the technological disasters in Malaysia. Finally the paper rearranges the technological disaster causes and errors. | |||||

Abstract: The 2001 Gujarat Earthquake in India highlighted the need for involvement, leadership and ownership of communities in the recovery process. A multistakeholder, and multi-organization rehabilitation program was implemented in Patanka, one of the hardest hit villages in Gujarat. The lessons learned during the program are summarized in this paper. Firstly, interacting and building trust with the community, proper planning processes and budget and time flexibility were important initial considerations. Secondly, implementation was undertaken jointly with the community, along with capacity and confidencebuilding processes. Sustainability was a major focus during implementation, so that the rehabilitation project became part of the development initiative. Finally, the most important aspect was the exit policy of the project team, leaving an institutional mechanism in the community that enabled it to serve its own needs. | |||||

Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to develop an analysis procedure and a database to evaluate the performance of electric power and water supply systems before and after a major catastrophic event, such as an earthquake, an accidental or manmade disablement of system components. Furthermore, the procedure and database can be incorporated as an integral part of the overarching framework of MCEER’s methodology that can be used to enhance the seismic resilience of communities. Based on our experience in the analysis of the seismic performance of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) system after the Northridge earthquake, we believe that we have derived a useful set of data and gained signi? cant knowledge on the system’s robustness during and after a catastrophic event. In this context, the present study adds new foci on modeling the restoration process after earthquakes and integrates the performance of water and power systems using LADWP’s systems as a testbed. This study is believed to advance the state-of-the-art on evaluating the seismic resilience of communities | |||||

Abstract: Disaster recovery remains the least understood aspect of hazards management, when assessed relative to preparedness, response, and hazard mitigation (Berke, Kartez, & Wenger, 1993; Smith & Wenger, 2006). Furthermore, while states are critical stakeholders in this process, their role remains less understood than the roles of federal and local governments (Waugh & Sylves, 1996; Smith & Wenger, 2006). This reality is manifest in the lack of sound recovery policy and often poor recovery outcomes following disasters. State governments do provide numerous recovery-related services, including the formulation of state policy, the coordination of assistance, and the provision of training, education, and outreach programs (Durham & Suiter, 1991). In practice, however, state involvement in disaster recovery varies widely due to differing levels of capability and commitment among emergency management organizations and other state agencies tasked with recovery activities (National Governor’s Association, 1998). | |||||

Abstract: The paper presents key findings from the research project “Building Safety”. Building Safety aims to generate knowledge for building resilient operational organizations for petroleum production in the northern regions. The results of the study should serve as input for Eni Norge, in their current preparation for petroleum production at the Goliat field in the Barents Sea. The paper presents how resilience was operationalized and empirically tested in a case study of successful recovery of incidents. Based on theoretical contributions on resilience and Resilience Engineering (RE), the following ‘Contributing Success Factors’ (CSFs) were operationalized and examined: CSF1 Risk Awareness, CSF2 Response Capacity, and CSF3 Support. The paper concludes with case specific advice for building a resilient organization: (1) apply scenario analyses, (2) prepare for successful improvisation, (3) assess IO (Integrated Operations) effects on resilience attributes, (4) ensure awareness of ongoing work processes at all levels, and (5) share risks and objectives. | |||||

Tierney, K. | Conceptualizing and Measuring Organizational and Community Resilience: Lessons from the Emergency Response Following the September 11, 2001 Attack on the World Trade Center | 2003 | article | URL | |
Abstract: Resilience is a property of physical and social systems that enables them to reduce the probability of disaster-induced loss of functionality, respond appropriately when damage and disruption occur, and recover in a timely manner. Resilience can further be conceptualized as consisting of four dimensions: robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness, and rapidity. It can be further seen as consisting of technical, organizational, social, and economic elements. This analysis focuses on resourcefulness as an organizational and social phenomenon. In responding to the World Trade Center disaster, organizations exhibited considerable resourcefulness, as indicated by the capacity to manage convergence and emergence; by the network forms of organization that developed to cope with disaster-related problems; and by the ability to address response-related challenges through improvisation. Since resourcefulness can be viewed as both collective sensemaking and collective action, it is ultimately rooted in the same kinds of social conditions and processes that make those activities possible. |

Tierney, K.J. | Business Impacts of the Northridge Earthquake | 1997 | Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management Vol. 5(2), pp. 87-97 |
article | DOI URL |
Abstract: The Northridge earthquake of 17 January 1994, killed 57 people and injured an estimated 10,000 persons. The earthquake is the most costly disaster in U.S. history, in terms of dollar loss; costs continue to rise as more damage is uncovered, repairs are made, and disaster-related claims are paid out. Recently-issued government estimates place the losses due to direct earthquake damage at approximately $25 billion (Governor's Office of Emergency Services and Federal Emergency Management Agency, 1996), and researchers who are tracking Northridge-related losses believe ‘it is quite possible that total losses, excluding indirect effects, could reach as much as $40 billion’ (Eguchi, et al, 1996)The number of households and businesses that were affected by the earthquake far exceeded the size of the victim population in other recent major disasters in the U.S., including Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and the assistance effort that was launched was the largest ever undertaken for a U.S. disaster. By the end of 1995, 681,710 applications for state and federal assistance had been received, which was more than double the amount filed for any other single disaster event (Governer's Office of Emergency Services and Federal Emergency Management Agency, 1996). Applications for the housing assistance programs operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency totalled well over half a million, and nearly 200,000 households applied to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) for loans to rebuild or repair their homes. Additionally, approximately 39,000 businesses applied to the Small Business Administration for disaster loans (EQE International, 1995).This paper focuses on the immediate and longer-term impacts the earthquake had on businesses in the Greater Los Angeles region. The data reported here are based on a survey that the Disaster Research Center, at the University of Delaware, conducted with a representative, randomly-selected sample of businesses in the cities of Los Angeles and Santa Monica, two jurisdictions that were particularly hard-hit by the earthquake. The material presented here is primarily descriptive. The goal of this paper is not to develop or test complex analytic models, although the paper does refer to other more quantitative analyses that have been performed on these data. Rather, the objective is to outline for readers empirical findings on the various ways that the earthquake affected the operations and viability of businesses on the impact area. Few studies exist that document the range of impacts that disasters can have on businesses and business sectors, and even fewer are based on detailed data from large representative samples.The paper addresses the following research questions:(1) What direct impacts and losses did businesses experience in the earthquake?(2) In what ways did the earthquake affect the operations of the businesses studied? If they experienced business interruption, why were they forced to close? What other kinds of problems did business have to cope with following the earthquake?(3) What earthquake preparedness measures had businesses undertaken prior to the disaster, and what have they done subsequently to prepare? and(4) To what extent have business operations returned to pre-earthquake levels, and which businesses appear to be experiencing the most difficulty with recovery? | |||||

Abstract: Vulnerability and resilience constitute different but overlapping research themes embraced by sustainability science. As practiced within this science, the two research themes appear to coalesce around one of the foundational pivots of sustainability, the coupled human-environment system. They differ in regard to their attention to two other pivots, environmental services and the tradeoffs of these services with human outcomes. In this essay I briefly review the emergence of sustainability science and the three foundational pivots relevant to vulnerability and resilience. I outline the distinctions and similarities between the two research themes foremost as practiced within sustainability science and especially in regard to the attention given to the three pivots. I conclude with the observation that improvement in the capacity of vulnerability and resilience research to inform sustainability science may hinge on their linkages in addressing tradeoffs. | |||||

Van der Leeuw, S. & Aschan-Leygonie, C. | A long-term perspective on resilience in socio-natural systems | 2000 | System shocks--system resilience, Abisko, Sweden, May, pp. 22-26 | article | URL |
Abstract: This paper argues that, both in the natural and life sciences and in the social sciences, we urgently need to develop a trans-disciplinary approach to environmental problems which does away with the presumed differences between ÒculturalÓ and ÒnaturalÓ processes. This may usefully be achieved by drawing upon the conceptual apparatus provided by the ÒComplex SystemsÓ approach. In such a Òsocio-naturalÓ perspective, the key concept is resilience (rather than sustainability). The resilience of socio-natural systems is in many situations dependent on the capacity of the human societies involved to process in the time available all the information necessary to deal effectively with the complex dynamics of the system as a whole. The paper then sketches how human institutions may be conceived of as self-organising, information processing, flow-structures. It then asks how the dynamics of these affect the resilience of a socio-natural system, and defines a number of parameters that may be used to gauge that resilience. The first group of these concerns all the external parameters of a disturbance, and the second those that relate to the reactivity of the system to such a disturbance. The paper ends with a brief outline of an example Ð the study of two successive crises in the Comtat area in France, one century apart. In the first crisis, the area was very resilient, and in the second it was not. The paper points to a number of the interacting factors that may be held accountable for the difference in response. | |||||

Abstract: Within the context of infrastructure and economic systems analysis, we define resilience as follows: given the occurrence of a particular disruptive event, the resilience of a system to that event is the ability to efficiently reduce both the magnitude and duration of the deviation from targeted system performance levels.

The approach is demonstrated through application to a national petrochemical supply chain model. | |||||

Vugrin, E., Camphouse, R. & Sunderland, D. | Quantitative Resilience Analysis Through Control Design | 2009 | techreport | URL | |
Abstract: Critical infrastructure resilience has become a national priority for the U. S. Department of Homeland Security. System resilience has been studied for several decades in many di?erent disciplines, but no standards or unifying methods exist for critical infrastructure resilience analysis. Few quantitative resilience methods exist, and those existing approaches tend to be rather simplistic and, hence, not capable of su?ciently assessing all aspects of critical infrastructure resilience. This report documents the results of a late-start Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project that investigated the development of quantitative resilience through application of control design methods. Speci?cally, we conducted a survey of infrastructure models to assess what types of control design might be applicable for critical infrastructure resilience assessment. As a result of this survey, we developed a decision process that directs the resilience analyst to the control method that is most likely applicable to the system under consideration. Furthermore, we developed optimal control strategies for two sets of representative infrastructure systems to demonstrate how control methods could be used to assess the resilience of the systems to catastrophic disruptions. We present recommendations for future work to continue the development of quantitative resilience analysis methods. |

Abstract: Critical infrastructure resilience has become a national priority for the U. S. Department of Homeland Security. System resilience has been studied for several decades in many different disciplines, but no standards or unifying methods exist for critical infrastructure resilience analysis. This report documents the results of a latestart Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project that investigated the identification of optimal recovery strategies that maximize resilience. To this goal, we formulate a bi-level optimization problem for infrastructure network models. In the “inner” problem, we solve for network flows, and we use the “outer” problem to identify the optimal recovery modes and sequences. We draw from the literature of multi-mode project scheduling problems to create an effective solution strategy for the resilience optimization model. We demonstrate the application of this approach to a set of network models, including a national railroad model and a supply chain for Army munitions production. |

article | DOI URL |
Abstract: The article aims to add a new impetus to rational and objective probabilistic evaluation of redundancy and robustness, based on uncertainties of systems and subsystems of events. An attempt is made to demonstrate the relevance of intuitive comprehension of redundancy and robustness of engineering systems of events. An event-oriented system analysis of a number of random observable operational and failure modes, with adverse probability distributions in a lifetime, may provide a deeper understanding of systems operational abundance and endurance. The system uncertainty analysis is based on the concept of entropy as defined in information theory and applied to probability theory. The article relates reliability, uncertainty, redundancy and robustness of systems of events and their application is illustrated in numerical examples. | |||||

Abstract: The disaster resilience triangle is a simple but effective tool for illustrating the relationship between the initial impact of a disaster event and the subsequent time to recovery. This tool can also be expanded, however, to provide an analytic measure of the level of resilience exhibited by a particular entity in a given disaster situation. We build upon the previous work in this area by developing a new approach for visualizing and analyzing the tradeoffs between the two primary defining characteristics of the disaster resilience triangle. This new approach supports strategic decision making in a disaster planning environment by providing a straightforward means for directly comparing the relative predicted resilience of different critical facilities within an organization, with respect to both location and type of risk. | |||||

Zobel, C.W. | Representing perceived tradeoffs in defining disaster resilience | 2011 | Decision Support Systems Vol. 50(2), pp. 394 - 403 |
article | DOI URL |
Abstract: Two of the primary measures that characterize the concept of disaster resilience are the initial impact of a disaster event and the subsequent time to recovery. This paper presents a new analytic approach to representing the relationship between these two characteristics by extending a multi-dimensional approach for predicting resilience into a technique for fitting the resilience function to the preferences and priorities of a given decision maker. This allows for a more accurate representation of the perceived value of different resilience scenarios to that individual, and thus makes the concept more relevant in the context of strategic decision making. | |||||
