Resiliency Cost

Time, effort, energy, money, and all the other resources that will be necessary to expend in order to bring a community back to its condition before a disaster.  Imagine what the Resiliency Cost will  be for this  community in Spain.

Note especially the picture of the cars piled up blocking a tunnel.

One type of Resiliency Cost – Gainful employment.  How many people will be out of a job, with no income, because their place of employment is destroyed?  How many people will be unable to work and thus will have no income for an extended period of time while they try to rebound?

What will it take for each individual, with the myriad of individual nuances of problems, to rebount to where they are equal to what they were before the disaster?  What will it take for the community to rebound?  What is the area underneath the curve of the Resiliency Curve from the time of the disaster to the time of the rebound?

Empathy is not a feeling – it is an understanding.  Understand the problems of Resiliency and you will learn empathy.
