Abstract	In the face of a natural catastrophe, resistance is a necessary but not suﬃcient condition. A building can withstand an earthquake or a ﬂood, but that does not mean that the life it held will go back to be developed in a normal way. Hence, based on the experience after the 2010 earthquake, this text advocates resilience as a key concept, a scope of which goes far beyond mere material resistance.
