- 16. - According toUNISDR, physical vulnerability in disaster refers to the characteristics and circumstances of a community, system, or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard, including factors like building materials, design, and location. Physical Vulnerability
- 17. - refers tothe inability of people, organizations and societies to withstand adverse impacts to hazards due to characteristics inherent in social interactions, institutions and systems of cultural values. Social Vulnerability
- 18. Economic Vulnerability - Thelevel of vulnerability is highly dependent upon the economic status of individuals, communities and nations.
