Building the Urban Organizational Capability for Resilience as a Matter of Updating Security Education of Community

Abstract

Abstract This article intends to emphasize the role that education has in strengthening resilience in the urban environment. It is highlighted how, starting from quantitative and qualitative aspects of some work tools dedicated to resilience, weak points of the materialization stage of the security culture to support a mature level of resilience can be identified. In practice, we can talk about a mutually supportive relationship between the two concepts: a high level of security culture allows, facilitates and augments an organizational behavior that favors resilience in the face of contemporary adversities, and the lessons learned as a result of an experience aimed at resilience adjust and provide feed-back to the security culture. Both macroconcepts have a common vein of support given by the educational component of the characteristic processes. Wanting to be as resilient as possible, against a backdrop of a robust security culture, therefore becomes a matter of preparation and training first and foremost. The research method is exploratory, accompanied by examples of known cases. The convergence of the approach has the purpose of bringing to the attention of stakeholders the usefulness of table top exercises, as a necessary training method for risk awareness and emergency management.
