The increasing rate of catastrophic events owing to climate change, pandemics, and significant changes in the international balance of power leading to armed conflicts have revealed disaster management weaknesses which need to be addressed as soon as possible so as to ensure the continued stability, safety and indeed existence of mankind. In this context, the concept of resilience framework has emerged; however, current such artefacts appear to be rather fragile, ambiguous, and difficult to use in practice in the face of said vulnerability and complexity. The question is: how can decision-makers ensure that a proposed resilience framework displays the necessary qualities and contains the required elements and guidance for the necessary local and cross-domain actions to increase resilience for their specific sector, organisation, or community? This paper attempts to define a multi-pronged approach to assess such artefacts in an integrated and holistic way so that the resilience frameworks are ‘complete’, understood, and actioned and thus effectively support disaster risk management.
