The Homeland Security Wire has written about a new report on the cost of recovery; their article is titled Bolstering pre-disaster resilience significantly reduces post-disaster recovery cost. Some excerpts from the article:
A new study finds that the federal government spends six times more on post-disaster disaster recovery efforts than on helping communities become more resilient to extreme weather which is predicted to become more intense and frequent. The study, citing Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) estimates, calculates that for every $1 invested in “pre-disaster” mitigation, the cost of damage from extreme weather is reduced by $4.
Here is the direct link to the full study report (15 pp), titled Pound Foolish; Federal Community-Resilience Investments Swamped by Disaster Damages, done by the Center for American Progress.
Recovery Diva 
I wonder if any linguistic cladologists study the evolution of jargon words. They are certainly infectious and interbreed promiscuously. In general, I’m a huge believer in plain language, but some groups of people prefer jargon, so I use it when appropriate.
I have heard of recovery efforts, and relief efforts, but this is the first time I have encountered the phrase, “resilience efforts.” Interesting.
I guess you could call it one more overuse of the word resilience.
As long as mitigation and recovery get done, I do not care what they call the means to do so.
But I worry that one set of jargon is simply going to replace another.
