Disaster Risk and Vulnerability Assessments

Understanding risk is only possible through the assessment of hazards, exposure and related vulnerabilities and resilience. The Resilience Globale team combined the capitals/assets with relevant hazards for a better understanding of risk. The ten key capitals analysed during the RG risk assessment include (i) social capital, (ii) human capital, (iii) cultural capital, (iv) political capital, (v) institutional capital, (vi) organizational capital, (vii) infrastructure, (viii) economic capital, (ix) environment or ecological capital, and (x) technological capital. Hazards are evaluated based on frequency, intensity and severity while exposure is calculated based on the potential impact.

Resilience Globale make use on contributions and analysis from a multi disciplinary team of experts and provide results also in a geo-spatial format.
