Spatial Heat Resilience Index (SHRI).

Climate parameters, adaptive clothing, outdoor activities and urban surface covers.

It looks at the resilience of outdoor activities to heat in cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Objective and subjective methods were used. They reported that outdoor activities decrease when thermal thresholds of 28˚C - 32˚C is reached and no activities occur at a range of 33˚C - 48˚C.

Integrated Regional Resilience Framework (IRRF).

Supply, demand and adaptive capacity.

Developed to assess the resilience capacity of San Francisco to droughts. It used objective data to study the supply, demand and adaptive capacity of the city water management to droughts in order to inform resilience strategies. Resilience qualities such as sufficiency and diversity of water systems were observed. They concluded that community level characteristics are important in designing resilience strategies.
