Efforts to rise from mental conditions that are unfavorable for people affected by disasters to their original conditions, so an ability known as social resilience is needed. Basically, every individual human or community has all aspects of resilience, but what distinguishes one individual from another as a member of the community affected by disasters is how to use and maximize aspects of themselves. So that it becomes an ability that helps individuals to survive difficulties or crises experienced in the recovery period and can provide the ability to rise better than before.
