2. VULNERABILITY IN DRRR
DEFINITION AND ITS FACTORS IN ASSESSMENT

3. DEFINITION IN DISASTER READINESS
AND RISK REDUCTION:
In general concept, vulnerability is one of the
defining components of disaster risk. It is part of
the formula along with exposure and hazard that of
which makes up risk. It is the human dimension of
disasters and is the result of the range of
economic, social, cultural, institutional, political and
psychological factors that shape people’s lives and
the environment that they live in.

4. CONTINUATION:
Specific aspects within Vulnerability include the
characteristics determined by physical, social, economic and
environmental factors or processes which increase the
susceptibility of an individual, a community, assets or
systems to the impacts of hazards.
By including vulnerability in our understanding of disaster
risk, we acknowledge the fact that disaster risk not only
depends on the severity of hazard or the number of people or
assets exposed, but that it is also a reflection of the
susceptibility of people and economic assets to suffer loss
and damage.
