Resilience is about a different response from the communities from the government.
Resilience is not a new subject but it has become a subject to the new interest and attention because today we live in an age of multiple challenges and risk, and despite of being sharp and focus on tackling with difficulties we many a times fail in the recovery part.

People can mean different things when they talk about resilience, a scientist might describe how much pressure, stress or force a material can take before it breaks. In ecological terms resilience is defined as the ability of the ecosystem to respond to the disturbances by resisting damage and recovering quickly. Individual resilience can be defines as the capacity to withstand stress and painful events. Confidence, problem solving, intelligence, forward thinking are clearly an individual qualities that helps in reacting properly during a …show more content…
When we talk about resilience two questions strike, resilience from what? And resilience of who? This study focuses on resilience of a city and community from natural disaster specifically floods. In making city resilient there is a need for a coordinated framework required to react when the city is hit by a
