From an introduction to resilience in Topic 1, we're
00:12
now going to move into community resilience
00:14
indicators.
00:16
We said at the end of Topic 1 the community resilience is
00:18
actually difficult to measure.
00:20
So let's look at some of the indicators that might assist
00:22
us in doing that.
00:25
The community indicators that we're going to focus on are
00:28
community participation and articulating problems.
00:33
When we look at that in an institutional or societal
00:35
setting, it's about community empowerment, taking those
00:38
resilience factors within communities and organisations
00:42
and enabling them to be able to turn them to a particular
00:46
purpose, whatever the challenges that might come and
00:49
confront them.
00:50
It's also about building trust within communities and between
00:54
communities, within communities of interest,
00:56
communities of place, communities of faith, business
00:59
communities, workplaces.
01:01
So between and within each of those.
01:03
Much of the work that has looked at community resilience
01:07
indicators have focused on four key aspects.
01:10
I'm going to talk about those in a little more detail, but
01:12
introduction-wise, they are self-efficacy, outcome
01:17
expectancy, critical awareness, and action coping.
01:23
Don't worry about those at the moment.
01:24
We'll explain them in a bit more detail.
01:26
And you'll be quite comfortable with them by the
01:27
end of this topic.
01:29
So self-efficacy.
01:31
It's about self-appraisal--
01:32
looking at yourself and your community, those around you,
01:35
those you're connected with, what can you do in a given
01:38
situation--
01:41
and relating its disasters, believing in your ability to
01:44
be able to reduce the effects of that
01:46
challenge when it arises.
01:49
So both in preparation and readiness for it, doing things
01:53
that might reduce the impact of it or even avoid it
01:55
occurring at all, but then being able to deal with it
01:58
when it does.
02:00
Development.
02:01
So it's not something that is in place and is rigid.
02:04
It's something that grows over time.
02:06
It can increase, and it can decrease.
02:08
But it increases through solving problems together,
02:11
just dealing with life.
02:13
Doing it in a collaborative way builds resilience within
02:16
communities, whatever that community is.
02:19
So it builds over time.
02:21
It accumulates with experience.
02:23
The more we focus on enabling communities, as emergency
02:26
managers, enabling communities to understand the risks that
02:30
they face, challenges they face, but on the other hand,
02:33
just getting them to work together more effectively will
02:35
mean that they will have more resilience to those hazards
02:38
when and if they arise.
02:40
The second factor is outcome expectancy.
02:43
It's the understanding within communities and individuals
02:48
that there are results that they can achieve through their
02:51
personal action, so that they believe that they will be able
02:55
to do things and that they will understand what those
02:58
things are and what the results of them will be.
03:02
It's being--
03:03
within that context, being able to understand that those
03:07
things that they can do will effectively mitigate or reduce
03:09
a problem, whatever that problem might be.
03:12
It might be a specific problem at one time, but otherwise
03:15
it's being able to deal with problems in general.
03:19
Now that the outcome expectancy, though, is not
03:21
just positively focused.
03:23
It could be any expectation, realistic or unrealistic, that
03:27
the outcomes will be negative.
03:30
Negative outcomes are not necessarily bad, when we're
03:32
talking about the community's understanding of what it's
03:35
able to achieve and what the outcomes will be.
03:37
That may encourage them to do more that will bring about
03:40
positive outcomes--
03:42
things we need to understand as emergency managers.
03:44
So the next aspect is critical awareness.
03:47
It's the extent to which people think the hazards are
03:50
enough for them to think about.
03:53
So the hazard is something that is in their awareness all
03:59
of the time, or at least occasionally enough before
04:02
events occur that it's actually meaningful to them,
04:06
that it's something that's able to be regularly discussed
04:08
with other people.
04:09
It's part of conversation.
04:11
They're not hiding it away.
04:12
It's part of the way that they deal with things by talking
04:15
about them.
04:18
Action coping.
04:20
That's when it's taking those three other factors and it's a
04:24
form of problem-focused coping-- so being able to talk
04:27
about, understand the risk that the community faces,
04:30
understanding that it's able to do things about them,
04:33
involve that in conversation, and then
04:35
put that into practise.
04:38
It's about the ability to solve problems.
04:40
So understand a problem, talk about it, and then come up
04:44
with solutions themselves as a community.
04:47
It's about confronting those problems and resolving them,
04:51
rather than ignoring them, thinking that they're too bad,
04:53
too severe to think about, too big perhaps, but something
04:58
that they can actually do something about
05:00
as a community together.
05:01
So in this topic, we've talked about community resilience
05:04
indicators.
05:06
Let's now move to the next topic, and we will look at
05:09
building community resilience.
