ABSTRACT
In the context of safety science, resilience refers to almost three dimensions (Comfort et al., 2010). First one is related to the integration of reconstruction and continuity of activity processes to traditional prevention, protection and preparation to crisis management processes. Second one is related to the system capacity to cope with extreme situations at the boundary of their prevention and anticipation capacities (Weick & Sutcliffe, 2007). Third one, resilience engineering, is related to system ability to adjust its functioning prior to, during, or following changes and disturbances so that it can sustain required operations under both expected and unexpected conditions (Hollnagel et al., 2011).
