社区复原力是一种新兴的公共卫生应急准备和应对方法，包括个人准备以及在社区中建立支持性的社会环境，以抵御灾害并从灾害中恢复过来。我们研究了为什么建设社区恢复力已经成为多个联邦机构国家政策的关键组成部分，并讨论了社区恢复力理论中体现的核心原则——具体来说，重点是在准备规划和响应中纳入公平和社会正义的考虑。我们还研究了将社区恢复力与传统公共卫生实践相结合的挑战，以及为评估和战略规划目的制定指标的重要性。以洛杉矶县社区抗灾项目为例，我们从一个大型城市县的角度讨论了我们的经验和观点，以更好地了解如何在公共卫生实践中实施社区抗灾框架。
An emerging approach to public health emergency preparedness and response, community resilience encompasses individual preparedness as well as establishing a supportive social context in communities to withstand and recover from disasters. We examine why building community resilience has become a key component of national policy across multiple federal agencies and discuss the core principles embodied in community resilience theory-specifically, the focus on incorporating equity and social justice considerations in preparedness planning and response. We also examine the challenges of integrating community resilience with traditional public health practices and the importance of developing metrics for evaluation and strategic planning purposes. Using the example of the Los Angeles County Community Disaster Resilience Project, we discuss our experience and perspective from a large urban county to better understand how to implement a community resilience framework in public health practice.
