Abstract

In recent years, extreme disasters, whether natural disasters or man-made accidents, have occurred more and more frequently in the world, which pose a great threat to the political stability, economic development and social harmony of all countries. As the world's political and economic powers, it is necessary for China and the United States to compare and analyze the resilience of their social organizations to extreme disasters. As an aggregate of individuals, community is also the basis for the survival and development of social organizations at all levels. Therefore, this paper chooses the core elements of community resilience in the United States as the entry point, and analyses the operation process of community resilience, crisis emergency measures and community resilience level in the event of extreme disasters from the qualitative and quantitative perspectives, respectively. It plays a certain theoretical value and practical role to enhance the resilience of our community and improve the operational mechanism of resilience.
