The term resilience originated in 1620s, "act of rebounding," from Latin resiliens, present participle of resilire "to rebound, recoil," from re- "back" (see re-) + salire "to jump, leap."

In our interconnected world, resilience is the ability to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of faults and challenges to normal operations. We have built redundancies into our networks to withstand major disruptions. It is also important to have a resilient customer base so there are multiple nodes of revenue from multiple customers. Also consider resilient design in buildings, landscapes, communities, and regions to mitigate as much risk as possible in response to vulnerabilities to disaster and disruption of normal life.
