• Resilience indicators
• Big data
• Risk assessment

Outline

In the context of the trend towards evidence-based policy making (EBPM) in disaster prevention and recovery policies, measurable quantitative evaluation indicators are needed when discussing measures to improve resilience. However, it is probably difficult to evaluate resilience in all areas and at all scales using a single indicator or a single approach. In this session, we will present strategies for quantifying resilience based on the results of previous research in the Tohoku University-NIED Matching Research Support Project, and we will make recommendations for indicators that measure resilience using observable socioeconomic activity indicators. We will also empirically verify whether these indicators correctly evaluate resilience.
