Abstract
How do we cope with catastrophe events using existing models? Are we going a step forward and focus on sustainable solutions taking into account a more holistic approach and resilience concept? Natural disasters are characterized by different patterns in recent years. Urban communities have developed assets too vulnerable to disasters and now they are about to have high damage. There is a need for a new framework that takes into consideration models, crisis management, new holistic concepts along with social components. The concept of resilience to natural disasters, preferably resilience to floods will be the main subject of this paper.
