We will discuss below how these inequalities lead to differing degrees of vulnerability to shocks.
Table 2 Criteria of the evaluation of the degrees of vulnerability (Civita and De Regibus 1995; Corniello et al. 1997) Degree of vulnerability DRASTIC index <80 Very low 80 120 Low 120 160 Moderate 160 200 High >200 Very high.
Preliminary studies show that inter-individual genetic differences produce varying degrees of vulnerability to the different SGA-induced side effects.
The elements-at-risk also will have varying degrees of vulnerability to the destructive force of debris flows ranging from complete loss to minor damage.
The system planners must be aware of the different forms and degrees of vulnerability and capability of different people (minorities, refugees, gender groups, age groups, people with disabilities, and so on).
Throughout the SFDRR text, "migrants" seems to be used as an umbrella term, hiding a variety of individual, collective, and systemic circumstances that shape different forms and degrees of vulnerability and might need to be addressed through different measures.
This county has higher degrees of vulnerability in terms of households' adaptive capacity or social and economic characteristics that are linked to their exposure and sensitivity to biophysical variables (Lo´pez-Carr et al. [2014]).
This perspective addresses varying degrees of vulnerability due to social and communicational isolation, poverty, disability, being sent to hospital and/or receiving institutional care, as well as lack of access to primary care.
To sum up, our findings also indicate that the relative importance of the domestic versus the international market for directly embodied C&T-value added and C&T-labor could be a source of different degrees of vulnerability to the restructuring of C&T-trade in the two case study countries.
The risk of disaster is perceived in this article as a compound function of a natural hazard and the number of people who occupy a particular space at the time of exposure to the hazard event, characterized by the population's varying degrees of vulnerability to that specific hazard (Wisner et al. 2004).
