Read the first 7 Resilience Theory & Frameworks flashcards as text

  1. Which concept describes the ability of a system to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change so as to retain essentially the same function?

    Answer: Ecological resilience

    Ecological resilience, defined by Holling, focuses on the magnitude of disturbance a system can absorb before changing state.

  2. In the Cynefin framework, which domain is characterized by 'unknowable unknowns' where no right answers exist?

    Answer: Chaotic

    The Chaotic domain in Cynefin contains situations where cause-effect relationships cannot be determined, requiring act-sense-respond.

  3. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 sets a global target to substantially reduce disaster mortality by what year?

    Answer: 2030

    The Sendai Framework targets a 2030 deadline for all seven global targets including reducing disaster mortality and economic losses.

  4. Which resilience principle states that a system with multiple ways to perform a critical function is less vulnerable to single-point failures?

    Answer: Redundancy

    Redundancy provides backup components or pathways so that failure of one element does not cause overall system failure.

  5. The '4Rs' of resilience used in New Zealand's civil defense framework stand for which combination?

    Answer: Reduction, Readiness, Response, Recovery

    New Zealand's CDEM framework uses Reduction, Readiness, Response, and Recovery as its four integrated phases of comprehensive emergency management.

  6. In systems thinking, a 'feedback loop' where an effect amplifies its own cause is called:

    Answer: Reinforcing loop

    A reinforcing (or positive) feedback loop amplifies change, which can drive exponential growth or collapse in resilience contexts.

  7. Which theory posits that organizations can learn from failures only when they move through cycles of experiencing, reflecting, conceptualizing, and experimenting?

    Answer: Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory

    Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory describes a four-stage cycle that enables organizations to convert experience into resilience-building knowledge.
