A three component hazards of place model

A First Complete Vulnerability Analysis

Beschreibung

Identifying vulnerable areas within a community is a critical requirement for emergency planners to develop plans and strategies to protect the community they serve. This requirement can only be met if all components of vulnerability are considered due to the multi-faceted nature of the concept of vulnerability. This book improves our ability to understand the dynamic and multi-faceted construct of the concept of vulnerability.
