• The rise in power shutdowns triggered by severe weather due to deteriorating climate change has expedited the research in enhancing community resilience. Several researchers and policy-makers have contributed to the characterization and parameterization of energy resilience and reliability in particular, which requires accumulated and coordinated studies to underline the outcomes and reflect those in future works on grid resilience and reliability enhancement. The concept of both the resilience and reliability of the grid systems should be defined and distinguished so that the systems can be clearly comprehended, assessed, and operated to maintain flawless operation and ensure environmental sustainability. This paper meets the mentioned objectives to discuss grid resilience and reliability, their quantification metrics, and their enhancement techniques in detail. The paper also categorizes the United States into four tiers based on grid reliability and grid resilience using Monte Carlo Simulations and the discussed metrics. Two novel terminologies named resilience risk factor and grid infrastructure density are propounded in this work, which will serve as vital parameters to determine grid resilience. •Impact of natural disasters on the electricity grid is studied.•Grid resilience and reliability metrics and enhancement strategies are described.•Grid resilience and reliability of the United States are assessed.•The United States map is categorized based on grid resilience and reliability.•Resilience risk factor and grid infrastructure density are newly coined terms.
