Summary
Understanding the interplay between risk and resilience is crucial due to increasing extreme events. This study revisits the risk-resilience feedback paradigm, connecting resilience to risk management for better disaster policy.
Area of Science:
- Disaster Science
- Systems Engineering
- Policy Analysis
Background:
- Extreme events are increasing, impacting interconnected societal functions.
- Existing frameworks link risk to function failure but neglect failure/recovery feedback to risk management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To revisit the risk-resilience feedback paradigm for connected societal functions.
- To advance science-informed disaster policy by linking resilience to risk management.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual framework analysis.
- Focus on connecting robustness and recovery (resilience) to threat, vulnerability, and consequence (risk).
- Illustrative example of a networked supply chain system.
Main Results:
- Resilience elements (robustness, recovery) can inform risk elements (threat, vulnerability, consequence).
- The risk-resilience feedback loop is essential for managing complex systems.
Conclusions:
- A systematic consideration of failure and recovery feedback is needed for effective risk management.
- Extending risk-resilience concepts to interconnected natural-built-human systems facing cascading risks is an open challenge.

Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.
