Resilience: ability to recover readily from illness, depresion, adversity, or the like.

Plan: a scheme or method of acting, doing, proceeding, making, etc., developed in advance.
Organization: a structure through which individuals cooperate systematically to conduct business.
Adaptive Leaning: learning where a system programs itself by adjusting weights or strengths until it produces the desired output.
Feedback: the return of information about the result of a process or activity; an evaluative response.
Among many other details, what attracted me about the first article were the many examples about how resilience is necessary if a communities and/or city affected by catastrophic events want to recover. This article was informative and touched on coming up with a plan for rebuilding and recovery, on organization, adaptive learning, and feedback. These are concepts of resilience.
One success story is New York, an example of how the concept of resilience was and is still being applied. After the 9/11 event, New York City has shown resilience by performing a plan for rebuilding the destructed site/a preliminary assessment of the situation and what can be done to prevail: resilience. Initiative has been shown through tree planting, EPA tests on air quality, and future plans for reconstruction. This also shows organization. On the other hand, the feedback and adaptive learning role is fulfilled since this initiative to rebuild NYC also has the purpose of providing relief to rescue and recovery workers and to build a sense of community and strengthening society.
