This term is used in several cases to describe the chance something can go wrong, the ammount of damage it will cause if something goes wrong and also the amount of time it will take to restore something to health.
For example, if an outdated type of machinery is used with lesser safeties installed than its more updated counterpart, it could severly compromise the disaster resilience within a plant. That's why there are safety procedures on the work floor.
Another example is geographic disaster resilience. Some regions prone to earthquakes or hurricanes. By sound building regulations and careful planning disasters can be countered. Less people will get end up losing their life or house.
