“…For the needs of the given article and understanding of the topic, research, analysis and synthesis of information and data dealing with the issue of resilience, community, vulnerability and disaster risk reduction were carried out. The identification of socially vulnerable community members was supported by research within the dissertation of the first author [12] of this article and is based on a search of selected publications dealing with the issue of vulnerability. The identification of socially vulnerable members of the community was determined based on indicators of social vulnerability: community context and social needs and values.…”

“…Research and analysis of publications [9,11,21,23] focused on the definition of community and found that a uniform definition of a community is not used in the research area. Therefore, for the research [12] and the article, the following definition was proposed "a group of people living in a defined territory who share a similar culture, values, customs, norms and resources and at the same time the community is threatened by the same threats". The same procedure (search and analysis of publications [24][25][26][27][28]) was also carried out to define the concept of community resilience and the following definition was proposed "the ability of the community to be self-sufficient and to respond adequately to disasters with the help of available tools, resources and cooperation of stakeholders.…”

Human society has been dealing with natural threats since the very beginning of humanity. A society that is better prepared for disasters can better resist the adverse effects of disasters and subsequently adapt to them and thus be prepared in the future for known threats and “new” ones. Level of education, access to information, the income of communities, or social capital are just some factors that can determine the level of safety and preparedness of members of society, especially the vulnerable. For this reason, frameworks and strategies containing disaster risk reduction tools aimed at developing and increasing the level of safety, prevention and preparedness of all states (including island states) for disasters have been created. The article aims to identify vulnerable community members and evaluate the factors that can cause gender inequality in disaster risk reduction and can also significantly influence the increase/decrease of community resilience to disasters. Furthermore, the article presents practical examples from different countries that point to the importance of addressing disaster risk reduction, including global and governmental responses to disasters and the impact of these responses on society.

“…Actors are often grouped in different coalitions that can support or oppose the dominant discourses and rules with different actual opportunities to influence or intervene in the policy domain [35]. To increase resilience after a disaster, various actors are involved, ranging from individuals to international institutions from both the private and the public sector [37]. Resources are divided between these actors which leads to differences in power and influence [36].…”

Background Dual crises happen when an acute shock unfolds in the context of a creeping crisis. The July 2021 floods in the Vesdre river basin (Wallonia, Belgium) is a typical case of such dual crises in the context of climate change. This study is based on 16 semi-structured interviews (conducted in Spring 2023) with 10 mayors, 4 representatives of the Public Service of Wallonia, 1 person working for the federal government, and 4 project managers, coupled with a document analysis (n = 13). It investigates the temporal strategies that connect short and long-term considerations in the aftermath of this disaster (timing, futuring, pacing, cyclical adaptation, and determining time horizons), at two different governmental levels: river basin and municipal level. Results In general, the window of opportunity to improve disaster resilience has been seized. Several studies were initiated by the Walloon region that shape the idea of an ideal future for the river basin and give recommendations for how to reach it. Unfortunately, those recommendations still come late compared to the temporal reality of the reconstruction process. Municipalities wish to strengthen disaster resilience as soon as possible, but they have to prioritize certain actions over others because of limited resources. The recommendations are considered flexible enough to adapt strategies to future contexts, but no monitoring and evaluation system for doing so has been implemented so far. In addition, clear policy agendas with transformational goals are scarce, and they diverge between the river basin and the municipalities. All these temporal strategies are shaped by elements of the institutional policy arrangement: resources, which affect them all, as well as actors, power, and formal rules, which affect some. These policy dimensions notably slow down the implementation of disaster resilience strategies and limit the determination of consensual time horizons. Conclusions The temporal strategies are passively shaped by the policy arrangement dimensions to a greater extent than actively chosen by the stakeholders. A structural transformation of the institutional policy arrangement is therefore needed to enable more coherent temporal strategies between different governance levels and to facilitate the consideration of long-term resilience during the recovery process from disasters.
