Abstract

Different perspectives on how resilience and vulnerability may be assessed are illustrated because lack of understanding often constrains the effective practice of emergency management. Incorporated into a coherent framework and understanding of vulnerability and resilience will help to integrate it with other disciplines such as community development, social psychology, community economics and environmental management.
