abstract="Resilience is an important concept to determine how well a Dutch Emergency Response Safety Region behaves under stress. The main objective of this study is to determine the intrinsic value of &quot;resilience&quot; for Dutch Emergency Response Safety Regions. In this study it is concluded that the concept of &quot;resilience&quot; can be best described by the generic approach &quot;operational resilience&quot;. A large scale survey among safety stakeholders in The Netherlands was conducted where the following items describing operational resilience were explored: situation awareness ( awa ); management of keystone vulnerabilities ( kv ); adaptive capacity ( ac ) and quality ( q ). Results show resilience of an emergency response organization can be described by a unique dynamic operational resilience f(Rero ) UV factor. A simplified approach of unique dynamic operational resilience is suggested by using a quick scan method to speed up the process of assessment.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
