Natural disaster resilience. In discussing the ability of a community or city to overcome disasters, whether natural or technological, we refer to "resilience." As a scientific term, resilience has its origins in studies of ecological systems. Loosely, "resilience" means the ability of a general system to respond in a reversible manner to an acute or chronic stress so that it may return to its initial state.
