本文通过测量和连接两个高度相关但很少实证评估其关系的概念：社会脆弱性和社区复原力，为灾害文献做出了贡献。为此，我们衡量了美国各县的社区复原力和社会脆弱性，并发现高水平的脆弱性和低水平的复原力之间存在相关性，这表明最脆弱的县往往也是复原力最差的县。我们还发现社区弹性和社会脆弱性分布的区域差异，西部特别脆弱，而东南部的弹性水平较低。通过研究社会脆弱性和社区复原力，我们能够绘制社区因威胁而造成伤害的社会风险以及灾害后的恢复和适应能力。这提供了一个更完整的描述，社区可能需要最多的援助，在应急规划和反应，以及是否需要这种干预措施，以减少损害或找到恢复的道路。
This article contributes to the disaster literature by measuring and connecting two concepts that are highly related but whose relationship is rarely empirically evaluated: social vulnerability and community resilience. To do so, we measure community resilience and social vulnerability in counties across the United States and find a correlation between high levels of vulnerability and low levels of resilience, indicating that the most vulnerable counties also tend to be the least resilient. We also find regional differences in the distribution of community resilience and social vulnerability, with the West being particularly vulnerable while the Southeast is prone to low levels of resilience. By looking at both social vulnerability and community resilience, we are able to map communities’ social risks for harm from threats as well as their capacities for recovering and adapting in the aftermath of hazards. This provides a more complete portrait of the communities that might need the most assistance in emergency planning and response, as well as whether such interventions will need to be tailored toward reducing damage or finding the path to recovery.
