Assessment of the Usability of Disaster Resilience Scorecard for Cities in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The article deals with an assessment of the usability of Disaster Resilience Scorecard for Cities (detailed level assessment) based on the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) initiative which serves as a tool for assessing territory resilience to natural and anthropogenic threats. Assessing and building resilience are key elements when meeting the requirements of the SENDAI Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. They contribute to enhancing security, economic and social stability of a territory, thus contributing to sustainable development. The article contains the assessment of the availability of data necessary for the use of the given tool at the municipal level in the Czech Republic which has agreed to meet the SENDAI framework requirements, but a resilience assessment has not yet been carried out to a large extent. The theoretical part of the paper contains a brief description of Disaster Resilience Scorecard for Cities along with the context of its use and it explains the principles of its function based on Ten Essentials for Making Cities Resilient and associated assessment criteria. The practical part of the paper, following the theoretical basis, evaluates possibilities of using Disaster Resilience Scorecard for Cities to assess resilience of municipalities in terms of data availability. The data availability is assessed on the basis of a comparison between data availability requirements stated in a tool for individual Essentials for Making Cities Resilient and data which is actually available to public and emergency authorities at the municipal level in the Czech Republic. The research presented in the paper focuses on Essentials 1,2,3 and 7 which are aimed at organizational, financial and social aspects of assessing and building resilience along with identification and assessment of current and future risk scenarios in given territories. Based on a comparison of the required and realistically available data, the usability assessment of Disaster Resilience Scorecard for Cities is carried out to assess resilience of municipalities in the Czech Republic.
