Large-scaled disaster events had increasingly occurred worldwide due to global and environmental change. Evidently, disaster response cannot rely merely on the public force. In the golden hour of crisis, not only the individuals should learn to react, protect themselves, and try to help each other, but also the local school, enterprise, non-government organization (NGO), nonprofit organization (NPO), and volunteer groups should collaborate to effectively deal with disaster events. New Taipei City (NTPC), Taiwan, was aware of the need for non-public force response and therefore developed the process of enhancing local disaster management networks through promoting the resilient community since 2009. The concept of a resilient community is to build community-based capacity for mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery in an all-hazards manner. This study organized the NTPC experience and presented the standard operation procedure (SOP) to promote the resilient community, key obstacles, maintenance mechanism, and the successful formulation of the local disaster management network. The performance of the promotion was evaluated through a questionnaire survey and found that participants affirmed the positive effect of building community capacity through the entire process. In general, the resilient community as the center of the local disaster management work is shown promising to holistically bridge the inner/outer resources and systematically respond to disaster events.
由于全球和环境变化，世界范围内越来越多地发生大规模灾害事件。显然，灾害应对不能仅仅依赖公共力量。在危机的黄金时刻，不仅个人应该学会反应、保护自己并尽力互相帮助，而且当地的学校、企业、非政府组织（NGO）、非营利组织（NPO）和志愿者团体也应该合作，有效地应对灾害事件。台湾新北市（NTPC）意识到需要非公共力量的应对，因此自 2009 年以来通过促进弹性社区发展的过程来加强地方灾害管理网络。弹性社区的概念是建立以社区为基础的减灾、备灾、应对和恢复能力，以应对各种灾害。本研究组织了 NTPC 的经验，并提出了促进弹性社区的标准作业程序（SOP），重点介绍了促进弹性社区的关键障碍、维护机制以及成功制定地方灾害管理网络的情况。通过问卷调查评估了推广效果，发现参与者肯定了通过整个过程建立社区能力的积极作用。总的来说，以弹性社区为中心的地方灾害管理工作有望全面整合内外资源，系统应对灾害事件。
