According to the National Research Council of the United States, resilience is the capacity of defining and programming operations to resist and/or to recover, or to adapt, in the most proper way, as regards disruptive events, whether they be actual or merely possible (Gilbert et al., 2015). Particular attention is paid to horizontal and vertical technical cooperation within the different bodies of the public administration and to participatory processes which involve representatives and stakeholders of the local communities, enterprises of the profit and non-profit sectors, civil society groups and so on.
