Abstract


The disaster victims received instant support, cooperation, and assistance from themselves. People in the communities assisted each other for survival before the government or any external help arrived. Social resilience, more than any other aspect of resilience, highlights the inherent contradiction between identity or persistence and transformation. In this research, we look at how this fear affects the development and application of social resilience in disasters. The reason of this investigate is the significance of social capital in defending the foremost powerless families and people amid disasters, as well as to apply an assortment of preventative and arrangement approaches to effectively oversee hazard and emergency circumstances. Rapid urbanization and shoddy development planning have increased communities & vulnerability to disasters, posing additional threats .Communities must get ready for and minimize dangers on a persistent premise in arrange to form flexibility and diminish the seriousness of calamity impacts and recoup speedier from catastrophe misfortunes. The study revolves around a case study as a prototype for understanding. In the years 2019 (cyclone Fani), men and women from various occupations
participated in the data collection procedure. These findings may serve as an eye-opening truth for readers, researchers, developmental professionals, and policymakers as they work to construct a road map for building resilient communities. The study frames that an indicators model is absolutely necessary to quantify and measure social resilience and proposes a sample model of it. The paper is segregated in two sections, Section 1 - presents an overview of related and updated literature about the topic & gives basic intuitions behind the methodological framework. It is followed by Section 2, which speaks about a case study and a conclusive model.
