As the potential for and scope of some types of disasters increases, so too does the need to build greater disaster resilience across the globe. Communities ideally begin building resilience prior to experiencing a disaster in order to reduce negative impacts and ease recovery processes; however, numerous environmental and sociopolitical factors can impede such efforts until a disaster occurs. While the disaster recovery period offers opportunities for communities to build resilience as they replace infrastructure and restore services, a host of new issues arise during this time that can further complicate or delay resilience building. In this study, we highlight the opportunities and challenges inherent at the intersection of disaster recovery and resilience building, which we term the “recovery–resilience nexus.” To study this nexus, we analyze a first-of-its-kind disaster recovery program in Colorado, United States, that promotes resilience-building activities in disaster-affected communities by supporting the efforts of place-based watershed coalitions. Although the program faced numerous and interrelated technical, political, and fiscal hurdles, we argue that it provides an opportunity for drawing important lessons about how communities can navigate the recovery–resilience nexus via cross-boundary collaboration and creatively leveraging traditional disaster recovery funding sources to achieve resilience goals.

在恢复过程中建立复原力：科罗拉多州流域复原力试点计划的经验教训

随着某些类型灾害的可能性和范围的增加，在全球范围内建立更强的抗灾能力的需求也在增加。理想情况下，社区在经历灾难之前就开始建立复原力，以减少负面影响并简化恢复过程；然而，在灾难发生之前，许多环境和社会政治因素可能会阻碍这种努力。虽然灾难恢复期为社区在更换基础设施和恢复服务时建立弹性提供了机会，但在此期间出现的许多新问题可能会进一步复杂化或延迟弹性建设。在本研究中，我们强调了灾难恢复和恢复力建设的交叉点所固有的机遇和挑战，我们称之为“恢复-恢复力关系”。为了研究这种关系，我们分析了美国科罗拉多州首创的灾难恢复计划，该计划通过支持地方流域联盟的努力来促进受灾社区的复原力建设活动。尽管该计划面临众多相互关联的技术、政治和财政障碍，但我们认为它提供了一个机会，可以吸取关于社区如何通过跨界合作和创造性地利用传统的灾难恢复资金来源来应对恢复与恢复之间的关系的重要经验教训。实现韧性目标。
