Understanding and enhancing community resilience is a global priority as societies encounter a rising number of extreme weather events. Given that these events are typically both sudden and unexpected, community resilience is typically examined after the disaster so there can be no before and after comparisons. As such, the extent to which existing community capacities buffer the effects of a traumatic event remains largely unexamined and untested in the literature. Drawing on a longitudinal study of 148 Brisbane suburbs, we examine the key community processes associated with community resilience to the crime before and after the 2011 Brisbane floods. We introduce a novel disaster severity index to simultaneously capture the direct and indirect impacts of the flood and embed this measure within our modeling framework. Results from the models provide important insights for predisaster preparedness and postdisaster rebuilding and recovery.

社区对犯罪的抵御能力：对 2011 年布里斯班洪水的研究

随着社会遭遇越来越多的极端天气事件，理解和增强社区的恢复力成为全球优先事项。鉴于这些事件通常都是突发的和意外的，社区恢复力通常是在灾难发生后进行检查，因此无法进行前后比较。因此，现有社区能力缓冲创伤事件影响的程度在很大程度上仍未在文献中得到检验和检验。借鉴对 148 个布里斯班郊区的纵向研究，我们研究了 2011 年布里斯班洪水前后与社区抵御犯罪的能力相关的关键社区过程。我们引入了一种新的灾害严重程度指数，以同时捕捉洪水的直接和间接影响，并将该措施嵌入我们的建模框架中。
