Yet, the impacts of natural hazards on society are increasing in incidence and severity in terms of economic costs and loss of life, a trend likely to continue due to increased vulnerability linked to population growth, rapid urbanization, and other unsustainable development trends (Basher 2006; IPCC 2012, 2013; World Bank 2013; Guha-Sapir et al. 2014).
Decontextualized stimulus response understandings of vulnerability linked to ideas of adaptability and the hazards school - what O'Brien et al. (2007) describe as 'outcome vulnerability' - lead to technical or institutional fixes as means to reduce vulnerability.
Their decline is most likely due to predation vulnerability, linked to loss of coral and structural collapse [13], [31].
- Make sure the cloud platform is correctly configured: "Enhancing automation of configuration management and infrastructure provisioning activities significantly reduces vulnerabilities linked to misconfiguration, mismanagement, missing patches and mistakes," he said.
We found women on probation or parole had higher odds of physical and social vulnerabilities linked to health disparities (Table 2), compared to those with no CJ involvement in the past year.
For example: How much of Senator Clinton's political vulnerability is linked to being a woman, and how much to her own, very specific political identity and past?
Our vulnerability-centered approach to disaster risk assessment requires that individual causes of vulnerability be linked to and tailored for specific resolution or remediation.
Risk vulnerability is linked to inadequate human, economic, and infrastructure development, coupled with high population growth, increasing urbanization, and dangerous locations for settlement (UNECA 2011).
The findings of this study support the suggestion that some people may have common vulnerability factors linked to tobacco use, alcohol use, and dental fear.
In the low vulnerability case (moderate climate scenario with CSMK3, WRW, 2050s) there are a few key areas of vulnerability linked mostly to single indicators – for example, southern Spain (water exploitation) and Estonia (food) along with some coastal areas, particularly in northeast Italy (flood).
The key difference in these vulnerabilities is linked to the roles that each group takes when travelling abroad.
