Abstract
The increasing number of natural disasters as a result of climate change has serious consequences in terms of loss of life, damage to health, loss of property and damage to infrastructure. Disasters affect communities in both developing and developed countries. In the former, however, the phenomena occur more frequently, affect a larger group of people, and the losses are often greater and more severe. Resilience issues are increasingly being addressed in the literature. The purpose of this article is to present the concept of resilience in the context of natural disasters and building development capacity. The study presents the authors’ definition of resilience to natural disasters. For the purpose of this article, a review of the literature and existing data has been carried out. The presentation of available instruments of resilience to natural disasters security tools shows that despite the unpredictable nature of these events, there are ways to minimise the negative impacts.
