106 Mainstreaming System Resilience Concepts into Transportation Agencies: A Guide Vulnerability/Risk Assessments The terminology of resilience, particularly when considering extreme weather/climate change, has in the past included usage of the terms "vulnerability" and "risk," often interchangeably. The cross-pollination of these terms in the past has sometimes sewn confusion in the transportation field and created a disconnect when the perspective was expanded to include an all-hazards perspective, where a different structure was utilized -- one where risk was the only guiding consideration (this is especially the case in the human threats assessment community)
