In the context of rising disasters worldwide and the challenges of the COVID-19
pandemic, this commentary considers the implications of findings in resilience
science on children and youth for disaster preparation and response. The
multisystem challenges posed by disasters are illustrated by the COVID-19
pandemic. We discuss the significance of disasters in the history of resilience
science and the emergence of a unifying systems definition of resilience.
Principles of a multisystem perspective on resilience and major findings on what
matters for young people in disasters are delineated with reference to the
pandemic. Striking parallels are noted in the psychosocial resilience factors
identified at the level of individual children, families, schools, and
communities. These parallels suggest that adaptive capacities associated with
resilience in these interacting systems reflect interconnected networks and
processes that co-evolved and may operate in concert. As resilience science moves
toward integrated theory, knowledge, and applications in practice, particularly
in disaster risk reduction and resilience promotion, more focus will be needed on
multisystem and multidisciplinary research, communication, training, and
planning.
