Information from the abstract
The article contributes to the debate on disaster risk reduction through a cross-country resilience analysis. It assesses and compares the disaster resilience status of Thailand and Pakistan using census and other secondary sources of data for a set of selected indicators reflecting social, economic, institutional, infrastructure and community components. This analysis reveals that Thailand is more resilient than Pakistan. However, Thailand receives lower scores for institutional, infrastructure and community components, while Pakistan has lower scores for economic, infrastructure and institutional resilience. The results reveal that both countries have a centralized landscape of disaster governance and low-quality infrastructure for disaster emergency and response. This article recommends that both countries should empower local institutions with well-coordinated mechanisms and improve social infrastructure for achieving resilience. It suggests strengthening the institutions of disaster management at the national and provincial levels in line with the existing policy guidelines.
