The concept of resilience has been evolving over the past decade as a way to address the current and future challenges nations, states, and cities face from a changing climate. Understanding how the environment (natural and built), climate event risk, societal interactions, and governance reflect community resilience for adaptive management is critical for envisioning urban and natural environments that can persist through extreme weather events and longer‐term shifts in climate. To be successful, this interaction of these five domains must result in maintaining quality of life and ensuring equal access to the benefits or the protection from harm for all segments of the population. An exhaustive literature review of climate resilience approaches was conducted examining the two primary elements of resilience—vulnerability and recoverability. The results of this review were examined to determine if any existing frameworks addressed the above five major areas in an integrated manner. While some aspects of a resilience model were available for existing sources, no comprehensive approach was available. A new conceptual model for resilience to climate events is proposed that incorporates some available structures and addresses these five domains at a national, regional, state, and county spatial scale for a variety of climate‐induced events ranging from superstorms to droughts and their concomitant events such as wildfires, floods, and pest invasions. This conceptual model will be developed in a manner that will permit comparisons among governance units (e.g., counties) and permit an examination of best reliance practices.

概念化整体社区对气候事件的应变能力：气候应变能力筛选指数的基础。

抵御能力的概念在过去十年中一直在发展，作为应对国家，州和城市因气候变化而面临的当前和未来挑战的一种方式。了解环境（自然和建筑），气候事件风险，社会互动和治理如何反映社区对适应性管理的适应能力，对于设想可以在极端天气事件和长期气候变化中持续存在的城市和自然环境至关重要。为了取得成功，这五个领域的这种相互作用必须导致维持生活质量，并确保所有阶层的人们平等地获得利益或免受伤害。对气候弹性方法进行了详尽的文献综述，研究了弹性的两个主要要素-脆弱性和可恢复性。审查了审查结果，以确定是否有任何现有框架以综合方式解决了上述五个主要领域。尽管弹性模型的某些方面可用于现有资源，但尚无综合方法。提出了一种新的概念来应对气候事件，该模型结合了一些可用的结构，并针对国家/地区，州和县的空间规模，针对这五个领域，应对了从超级暴风雨到干旱及其伴随事件的各种气候事件。例如野火，洪水和害虫入侵。该概念模型的开发方式应允许在治理单位（例如县）之间进行比较，并可以检查最佳依赖实践。
