DESCRIPTION:The concept of resilience has become part of the lexicon for di
 saster researchers in universities and government agencies. The concept ha
 s evolved significantly over the past 10-20 years. In 2010-11\, the engine
 ering community was coming to grips with the two paradigms of resilience: 
 1) an engineering approach that focused on predictability and stability in
  a steady state\; and 2) an ecological definition that focused on persiste
 nce and the ability to reorganize while undergoing change. In the past 5 y
 ears\, the concept of resilience is again being redefined\, in part becaus
 e of experience with the Covid pandemic\, and climate change\, and in part
  because recent disasters have overwhelmed humanitarian aid and recovery p
 rograms. There simply have not been sufficient resources to meet disaster 
 recovery needs in a timely fashion even with a resilience rebuilding appro
 ach.\n\nIn this talk Professor Comerio will focus on what we have learned 
 from recent disasters\, from the pandemic\, and from evolving polices for 
 addressing climate change as well as disasters. It is important to discuss
  what goes wrong and what works with case studies from multiple disaster r
 ecovery efforts\, but equally important to evaluate policies and programs 
 that are designed to improve resilience as an ex-ante recovery measure. Pr
 ofessor Comerio will discuss two examples of lifeline policies and program
 s with a community resilience focus\, and one on investment in the creatio
 n of housing programs to meet baseline needs and reduce housing losses in 
 future disasters. There are similar opportunities for resilience through i
 nvestment in many infrastructure sectors\, as well as schools\, health car
 e\, and other services. A new approach to resilience requires policies and
  programs that include linking needs in multiple sectors and improving pub
 lic and private sector capacity in the full range of critical services bef
 ore disaster strikes.
