So, what do we mean by community resilience?

State, Capacity & Change
“We define resilience, formally, as the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change so as to still retain essentially the same function, structure and feedbacks - and therefore the same identity.” --Walker et al. 2004

Resilience Assessment is:
1. Which basin are we in?2. Where in that basin?3. How to navigate the basin?4. Can we control the shape of
the basin? 5. Can we transform to a new
state if necessary?

Assessing Resilience
• Identify a system• Describe desirable & undesirable states• Identify fast variables in system• Identify slow variables in system• Identify the thresholds in system• Identify vulnerabilities to change• Can we reduce or avoid these?
