Why are we talking about resilience?
We live in an age of uncertainty and rapid
change
• Nations face an increasingly complex range
of multi-faceted threats from a myriad of
sources.
• The risk is continually changing: evolving
geopolitical situation, non-state actors
(homegrown or overseas), the effect of
globalisation, climate adaptation, and
changing social geography.
• The concept of national security risk is very
different to what it was 20 years ago (let
alone 50 or 100 years ago).

Common Factors in Definitions of Resilience
• Understanding and anticipating changing
circumstances and potential disruption
• Ability to reduce, resist or withstand impacts
• Having survival/coping and recovery strategies
• Being capable, adaptable, resourceful, and
innovative
• Learning from experience and ‘building back better’
Anticipative(being ‘change
ready’)
Absorptive(persistence)
Adaptive(incremental
adjustment)
Transformative(transformational actions)

Resilience and Security team

• Responding to events
• Building longer-term resilience across the transport system
• Collaboration and engagement across the sector about transport system
resilience
Strategic Resilience Project
9
• Focuses on exploring the concept of strategic resilience underpinned by the overarching theme – How do we deliver an adaptive integrated transport system that is resilient for the future?
• Pan sector agreed concept and understanding of resilience, including a longer-term view
• Increase recognition of people, community, business and end-users (including their contribution to resilience)
Components needed (sector level focus)?
• What is resilience
• Vision/outcomes
• Current and emerging risks/trends
• Roles & responsibilities
• Actions
Current state assessment and diagnosis (the ‘why’)
► Current risk management challenges and constraints
► Disaster risk
► Advantages and opportunities
Concept of Strategic Resilience
► What resilience is to us
► Outcomes desired
► Targets
Guiding principles of the Transport System approach to resilience (the ‘how’)
Roadmap of action (the ‘what’ and ‘when’)► Roadmap framework: principles vs short, medium, long term
► Sector roadmap
► Voluntary commitments
Measuring resilience and monitoring progress
