VULNERABILITY TO SPECIFIC HAZARDS

1. VULNERABILITY TO
SPECIFIC HAZARDS
REPORTER: MARK KEVIN G. LUNA

2.  Poor design and construction of buildings and
other infrastructures;
 Inadequate protection measures of assets;
 Lack of private information awareness;
 Limited official recognition of risk and
preparedness measures, and;
 Disregard for wise environmental
management (ADPC,2012).

3. ADPC further emphasized that
vulnerability varies significantly
within a community and overtime.

4. PHYSICAL VULNERABILITY
May be determined by aspects such as
population density levels
remoteness of a settlement
the site,
design and materials used critical
infrastructure

5. SOCIAL VULNERABILTY
- refers to the inability of people,
organizations and societies to withstand adverse
impacts to hazards due to:
 characteristics inherit in social interactions
 institution and systems of cultural values.
Its is linked the level of well being of
individuals, communities, and society.

6. ECONOMIC VULNERABILITY
-The level of vulnerability is highly
dependent upon the economic status of
individuals, communities and nations. The poor
are usually more vulnerable to disasters because
they lack the resources to build sturdy structures
and put other engineering measures in the place
to protect themselves from being negatively
impacted by disasters.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL VULNERABILITY
-Natural resource depletion and resource
degradation are key aspects of environmental
vulnerability. This is one aspects that both
communities and government must be sensitive
about.
- reforestation and natural resource protection and
conversation must be undertaken to reduce
natural disaster risk and vulnerability.
