Abstract
The notion of societal safety and security has recently been raised to deal with a composite landscape of diverse threats and vulnerabilities. The concept of resilience has gained currency in recent years in many contexts as an alternative to prevalent failure-oriented safety approaches. In order to be meaningful in a societal safety/security context, the resilience concept must be translated to a scheme of composite protection comprising a diverse set of (resilient) entities that can be mutually supportive.
