摘要:The concepts of vulnerability and resilience have drawn muchattention from hazards managers and researchers, including intensivescrutiny of their meaning and scope. Some consider them to be separateissues while others view them as interrelated. Even the tasks of reducingvulnerability and enhancing resilience have been described as oppositesides of the same coin. Either way, most agree that identifying areas ofvulnerability is simply not enough --we need to use that informationto make meaningful changes that will improve the situation for futureevents.
