This book considers the concept of resilience in a global society
where coping with the consequence and long term impact of crisis
and disaster challenges the capacity of communities to bounce back
in the event of severe disruption. Catastrophic events such as the
9.11 terrorist attack, the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and the
volcano eruption in Central Java entailed massive devastation on
physical infrastructures, and caused significant social and
economic damage. This book considers how the modern
sociotechnological system facilitating human activity defines how
societies survive and whether a crisis will be short-lived or
prolonged. Drawing on the concept of sociotechnical resilience,
this book closely examines a range of events North America, Asia,
Australia, and Europe. By presenting the successes and failures of
sociotechnical resilience, it offers important insights and
practical lessons to build better and comprehensive understandings
of resilience in a real-world setting, significantly contributing
to the study of disaster resilience.
