Vulnerability, understood as the conditions determined by physical, social, economic and environmental factors or processes that increase the potential for an individual, a community, assets or systems to be negatively affected by hazards, is a key component when assessing tsunami risk. Vulnerability can be affected by human interventions. Hence, the study of vulnerability is essential to support decision-making (e.g., land use planning and emergency planning) for more effective risk management. Vulnerability is most commonly represented through a vulnerability function that expresses the likelihood of achieving a value of a loss parameter for increasing values of a hazard intensity measure.

摘要

Vulnerability, understood as the conditions determined by physical, social, economic and environmental factors or processes that increase the potential for an individual, a community, assets or systems to be negatively affected by hazards, is a key component when assessing tsunami risk. Vulnerability can be affected by human interventions. Hence, the study of vulnerability is essential to support decision-making (e.g., land use planning and emergency planning) for more effective risk management. Vulnerability is most commonly represented through a vulnerability function that expresses the likelihood of achieving a value of a loss parameter for increasing values of a hazard intensity measure.
