Glossary

resilience to natural hazards

Within the prevailing interest in climate change and disaster risk reduction, the term ‘resilience’ is used in reference to “the ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures and functions” (UNISDR, 2009).
