Proposal: We propose Resilience Informatics (RI) as a discipline within Resilience research. We define RI as informatics systems and technologies designed to support and promote the ability of individuals, organizations, and populations to successfully cope with natural and man-made stressors. We propose a Working group on Resilience Informatics (WGRI) that will form the nucleus for a Center for Resilience Informatics at the University of Arizona, and establish the University of Arizona as a leader in Resilience Informatics.
