Multimodel inference was used to determine the relative importance of each component of risk and model averaging was used to quantify associations between infection outcomes and indices of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. Findings The most important component of S haematobium presence was hazard (...
Vulnerability refers to the intrinsic characteristics of the hazards’ receptors (which can be people, infrastructure, economic activities, or other), and defines the extent to which these receptors are susceptible to harm from, or unable to cope with, hazards. The term ‘exposure’ can be ...
Developing appropriate responses to address and prevent surface water flooding requires an analysis of interactions between elements of a risk framework encompassing hazard, vulnerability and exposure. This paper explores the spatial distribution of surface water flooding, the vulnerability of communities to ...
The natural hazard information with exposure and vulnerability assessment indicators can help decision makers in prior- itizing interventions in the Tillabéri Region using an objective approach. This methodology has been proposed within the framework of the ANADIA Project that aims to support disaster ...
These individual quantifications are first transformed into normalized (0–1) indices of hazard, exposure and vulnerability and combined by multiplying the three components. This is the first time the IPCC (IPCC 2014) risk framework has been applied to a multi-hazard, multi-exposure, multi-...
In addition, we utilized a criterion of the isolation factor, based on distances to access emergency resources (hospitals, shelters or safety areas, and water) in each city block. By combining the hazard, vulnerability and exposure criteria, we produced detailed risk-zone maps at the city-block...
Drought hazard is derived from a non-parametric analysis of historical precipitation deficits at the 0.5°; drought exposure is based on a non-parametric aggregation of gridded indicators of population and livestock densities, crop cover and water stress; and drought vulnerability is computed as the...
vulnerability modelling is the concept of vulnerability curves that link the probability of loss at a given level of seismic motion IM, such as responsespectral accelerationfor given period anddamping ratio. Similarly, fragility (damage) curves represent the likelihood of exceeding different limit ...
