HomeTowards a European wide vulnerability framework
A flexible approach for vulnerability assessment using composite indicators
Métadonnées de la publication
Vulnerability is one of the three risk components considered in disaster risk assessment, together with hazard and exposure. Since we cannot reduce the occurrence and severity of natural hazards, reducing vulnerability is one of the main opportunities for reducing disaster risk. In this report we present a cross-scale indicator for measuring vulnerability at the European level. The indicator is composed of four dimensions (social, economic, political and environmental) and is meant to capture the systemic vulnerability to disasters at different administrative levels (Country, NUTS2 and NUTS3 – see description of these levels in chapter 3). We derive an index with values between 0 and 10, which encloses the four dimensions in a multi-level approach. The analyses presented build on the data and the vulnerability framework implemented in the Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC) Risk Data Hub (RDH) for the assessment of disaster risk from multiple hazards across Europe.
