报告摘要：The role of the prevailing response strategy of "Resistance" will be discussed, its essence, roots and shortcomings. It will be proposed to augment it, in a balanced manner, with the response strategy of "Resilience". The concept of Resilience (Bounce back ability) will be examined, to include models for its benchmarking in natural and man made disruptions. On this theoretical basis the Israeli case of countering terror as a protracted disruption will be presented, to be concluded by some concrete universal recommendations in the general field of disaster risk reduction.
