Dear Hugh and Maureen,
Surveymonkey is a really annoying, non-user friendly piece of cr*p. I have often tried to respond to it, and my blood pressure always spikes. I would be happy to discuss the meaning of resilience, but I am really not sure my mind and body are strong enough at 68 years old to cope with yet another monkey. Buddha warns us about falling into a state of 'monkey mind', which he experienced as the opposite of 'mindfulness'.
Interested in reconsidering your 'survey'? Supplementing it for those of use to signed on with Maureen as advisors to the project? I told Maureen I'd be happy to be an advisor, but not a cog in a survey wheel. Maybe there was a misunderstanding -- perhaps on my part by responding to your earlier email since even an EU project can't ahve 164 'advisors'; or perhaps on Maureen's part when she invited me to be an advisor, or at least I thought so.
Help?
All the very best,
BEN

>Please accept this belated welcome to the Jiscmail Disaster Resilience List. Encouragingly – for the emBRACE Project partners especially – the list already has a membership of 164, which seems to represent as diverse a spectrum of researchers and practitioners as you might expect, given the complex nature of the ‘resilience’ concept.
>
>This obvious interest has led us to a decide to carry out a quick survey of list members, in order that we can gain a picture of how you all understand, measure and operationalise the concept of Disaster Resilience in your work, what you think are the concept’s advantages and disadvantages and what you consider to be the key literature we should be considering during our framework development.

>Accordingly, we would be very grateful if you could complete the anonymous survey, which can be found at:

>I will let the survey run until next Friday (25th Nov), after which I shall carry out some analysis and report back any findings to you as soon as possible.

>PLEASE NOTE: The survey is hosted on an external site, if you reply to this message you will be replying to the whole DR list. We are keen to encourage discussion on the list but if you have any specific questions regarding the survey please email me directly at [log in to unmask]
