Absorb shock Bounce back Learning/adaptation
The Context for Coastal Disasters
 Coastal populations dramatically increasing
(leading towards more demographic
vulnerabilities)
 Climate change is anticipated to increase the
coastal hazard threat trends (sea level rise, floods,
storm  both intensity & frequency)
 New problems of mega disasters emerging
 Disasters are undermining years of
development efforts
 Increase in anthropogenic and human induced
vulnerabilities
The Hyogo Framework for Actions (HFA) -2005-2015
has increased the focus on building community resilience for
disaster management
An Increased focus on Community Resilience
Defining Resilience
the potential of a particular configuration of a system to:
maintain its structure/function in the face of disturbance,
and the ability of the system to re-organize following
disturbance-driven change . . .
(Louis Lebel, 2001)
the capacity to survive, adapt and recover from a
natural disaster.

Management
Resilience
Elements of Coastal Community Resilience
Governance
 Leadership, systems, and institutions appropriate to the
community that support actions to promote resilience
Socio-economy and Livelihoods
 Prosperous, sustainable, diverse economies and livelihoods
that allow communities to help themselves before, during,
and after disasters
Coastal Resources Management
 Active management of renewable resources and protection
of habitat and features that sustain those resources and
buffer communities from natural disasters
Land Use Management and Structures
 Active management of land uses in the community that allow
development to be directed away from environmentally sensitive
and vulnerable areas
 Zoning, building codes, and infrastructure development
guidelines that reduce exposure to coastal natural disaster risks
Risks Knowledge
 An understanding of risks from coastal natural disasters a
community faces and its vulnerability to disasters
Warning and Evacuation
 Ability to receive alerts and notifications of coastal hazards
and to warn and evacuate at-risk populations
Emergency Response and Disaster Recovery
 Ability of community to mobilize to manage coastal disasters
with minimal dependence on outside assistance
 Ability of a community to manage post- disaster assistance
