An important shift in terminology has occurred in emergency preparedness, and the concept of community resilience has become ubiquitous. Although enhancing community resilience is broader than preparedness, and emphasizes a distinct set of activities and participants, the terms are often used interchangeably. The implications of this shift have not been fully explored. This commentary describes the potential promise and pitfalls of the concept of community resilience and recommends strategies to overcome its limitations. We believe that resilience has the power to dramatically change this field in immense, positive ways, but some important challenges such as confusion about definitions and lack of accountability must first be overcome.

应急准备领域的术语发生了一项重要转变，社区恢复力的概念已变得无处不在。尽管增强社区恢复力比应急准备更为宽泛，且强调一系列独特的活动和参与者，但这两个术语常被互换使用。这种转变的影响尚未得到充分探讨。本评论阐述了社区恢复力概念的潜在前景与陷阱，并推荐了克服其局限性的策略。我们认为，恢复力有能力以巨大且积极的方式显著改变这一领域，但一些重要挑战，如定义混乱和缺乏问责制，必须首先加以克服。（《灾难医学与公共卫生准备》。2013年；7：603 - 606）
