|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Prioritize risk reduction (RR) in communities | Shows what a disaster resilient community might look like | Measure ability to recover from earthquakes | Measure overall pre-existing community resilience | Recovery over time of critical services and community capital | Holistic framework for designing and measuring resilience |
| Target categories | Institutions and actions promoting risk reduction, preparedness, response | Governance; risk assessment; knowledge and education; risk management; disaster preparedness and response | Buildings and infrastructure, services restoration | Infrastructure, ecosystems, institutions, economic, social, community capacity | Ability to perform; opportunity to perform of critical infrastructure | Population; environment; government services; physical infrastructure; lifestyle; economic; sociocultural capital |
| Scale? Who measures? Hazards? | National | Local, national | Local, earthquakes | Local, national comparisons | Local, earthquake case study | Local, no case study |
| Quantitative or Qualitative? | Qualitative | Qualitative | Semi-quantitative | Quantitative | Quantitative | Quantitative, Qualitative |
| Costs to measure | $$ | $$ | $$ | $ | $$ | $$$ |
