A state of being at risk. The characteristics and Vulnerability circumstances of a community that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of hazard. Vulnerability - It is situation specific. If a specific province is prone to earthquake, it does not mean that all localities on that province is vulnerable to it. - It is hazard specific. A community that is vulnerable to earthquake hazard does not necessarily mean that it is also vulnerable to typhoon. - To make the community less vulnerable, it must be resilient.  1. Population Factors density near a affecting hazard event. vulnerability of one’s 2. Capacity and efficiency to reduce community: Disaster Risk. POPULATION POPULATION DENSITY  Population- refers to the number of individuals inhabiting in a particular space at the same time. Population density- refers to the number of individuals living in an area in relation to the size of an area. High High Population Population in a density small area Capacity and efficiency to reduce Disaster Risk. Community that is less vulnerable has the capacity to reduce disaster. A less vulnerable community may have better infrastructure, emergency services, and communication systems in place. This can help to minimize the damage caused by a disaster and ensure that essential services are available to those affected. Given the following situations, identify what factor affects the vulnerability to disaster. Write P if it is due to population density and write C if it is due to sector’s capacity and efficiency to reduce disaster risk. 1.
