author proposes to use analysis of disaster case studies from three representative communities-each highlighting one of Dr. Elazar's three subcultures of Traditional, Individual and Moral-to determine whether pre-evaluated resilience values and predicted response to disaster coincide with actual event outcomes. By using the Social Vulnerability Index values as a baseline metric for a quantifiable measure of resilience, the author found that political subculture does alter the predicted outcome and should be further researched as a potential modifier of planned resilience and response.
