Abstract
This study aims to develop a Flood Disaster Resilience Index (FDRI), as an attempt to measure the level of communities’ resilience in mega coastal cities. The FDRI is developed on five resilience-based capitals: Governance, Economic, Natural, Physical and Social. Alexandria in Egypt and Jakarta in Indonesia are selected as case studies, as they rank the 11th and the 20th in terms of population exposed to coastal flooding by 2070, according the Organization for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD). The study showed that higher values of resilience are correlated with higher preparedness and sustainability to cope with flood disasters and vice versa.
