RESILIENCE, AND ADAPTIVE WORK. In a recent work on disaster and resilience, Paton and Johnston (2006) argued that catastrophic natural or human events might be seized as opportunities for communities to catalyze the adaptive work necessary to secure long-lived change in their disaster (Pan American Health Organization, 2008). One characteristic people, organizations, and societies have that influences whether a hazard event becomes a disaster is their intrinsic resilience (Paton & Johnston, 2006). Resilience can be defined as an ability to be prepared and have the capacity to “spring back from” (United Nations Humanitarian Assistance and Crisis Management Dr. Bayan Abdulhaq bayan.abdulhaq@sit.edu Amman, Jordan 2019 .

Within a disaster context, Paton and Johnston [46] have defined resilience as the ability to adapt to the demands, challenges and changes encountered during and after a disaster. Disaster resilience as an integrated part of community or government decision making is a relatively new concept that is only now being broadly or explicitly adopted through efforts such as Presidential Policy Directive-8 (PPD-8; see below and Chapter 6). Although many efforts have been made to understand disaster resilience and its
The implications of the findings for community risk perception, predicting resilience within an all-hazards management framework, community hazard reduction planning, resilience assessment and evaluation, and risk communication is discussed. GNS Science Report 2015/66 December 2015 Communication of Risk: A community resilience perspective J. Becker D. Johnston D. Paton Learning for disaster resilience As stated explicitly or implicitly in the groups of actions listed above from the National Strategy for Disaster Resilience, there is a need for agency and community learning to help build resilient communities. Central to this requirement is the concept of ‘communities of practice’. Disaster Resilience emphasizes the processes and conditions within communities that enhance or reduce population's ability to resist, adapt to, and recover from a shock or perturbation within the shortest possible time and with little or no outside assistance. Disaster Resilience, in this way, is often synonymous with the notions of Risk, Resilience, and Sustainability: How Governance in Zimbabwe Countervails this Nexus Dorcas Shumba Massey University dorkashumba@gmail.com Abstract This paper concedes to the view that there is a strong correlation between risk, resilience, and sustainability and that governance has a bearing on the outcome of each of these processes.
