The global climate change comes with the increased frequency of extreme weathers and natural disasters. It is urgent to improve the building resilience and to develop the building resilience evaluation systems. The existing building resilience evaluation systems and evaluation methodologies are reviewed in this paper, as well as the enlightenment to China's establishment of future building resilience evaluation system. The building of the physical characteristics is the internal foundation to improve the building resilience. The socio-economic capacity is the external assistance to improve the building resilience. National or government policies and regulations are a strong guarantee for improving the building resilience. There is not an official building resilience evaluation system in China yet, therefore, recommendations are proposed as follows. Multiple disaster risks for building in different regions should be identified. The resilience evaluation methodologies should be studied. Codes for building resilience should be introduced. The social safety resilience should be improved. The digital network of "Internet + Building" should be constructed.
