It focuses on the case of the 2013 floods in Dresden, a city that witnessed three major floods within 11 years.

In the case of Dresden, not only was resilience not explicitly requested by the state, but it was in several incidents actively not wanted. While most of the volunteering activities arising from social media platforms intended to support the disaster management authorities, the case shows how subversive formsof resilience were mobilized to resist official plans.
