Exposure to hazard is treated as given and is an implicit element. The vulnerability element is perceived as the interactive effects of the social and physical aspects of a system (e.g., urban) regarding the causal process of hazards. Contrary to some conceptualizations, the framework views ...
Risk denotes exposure to danger or harm. Vulnerability implies a state of being easily hurt or attacked. Both relevant in discussions pertaining to exposure to harm or adverse situations, embody distinct concepts.
In this chapter an attempt has been to highlight the concept of hazard, vulnerability, capacity and risk. These disaster terminologies were discussed taking help from the latest available literature. All these concepts have been supported with examples from the real world situations. Additionally, var...
The purpose of risk management is to reduce the impact of events through modification of the hazard, exposure and/or vulnerability: according to United Nations (UN) terminology9, disaster risk management is the application of disaster risk reduction policies and strategies to prevent new disaster ris...

Flooding is a pervasive natural hazard, with new research demonstrating that more than one in five people around the world live in areas directly exposed to 1-in-100 year flood risk. Exposure to such flood risk is particularly concentrated amongst lower
As the flood risk is a function of the flood hazard, the exposed values and their vulnerability, the increase in flood losses must be attributed to changes in each of these aspects. While flood protection measures may reduce the frequency of inundation losses, appropriate preparedness measures ...
