This research found that there was no significant correlation between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial resilience while positive and significant correlation was found between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial resilience. The results can contribute to the development of entrepreneurial resilience theory and be useful for the local government in making policies related to support SME in such disaster prone areas. Keywords: Entrepreneurial Resilience, Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy, Entrepreneurial Passion, Structural Equation Modeling.
