'elements at risk' is a perfectly correct and usable phrase in written English.
You can use it when referring to something that may be endangered or vulnerable, for example: "Many of the natural elements at risk due to climate change require urgent action to be saved."
In mountains, natural hazards such as torrential phenomena are damageable for elements at risk.
Furthermore, such methods do not explicitly take into account the elements at risk and/or possible budgetary constraints.
In the framework of flood risk assessment, vulnerability is a key concept to assess the susceptibility of elements at risk.
Predictions of slope failures are mandatory to reduce hazard and vulnerability of elements at risk with appropriate warning policy and properly designed countermeasures.
In order to quantify uncertainties in a risk estimate, the ambiguity in hazard, vulnerability and elements at risk need to be quantified.
It implements a Regional Risk Assessment (RRA) methodology allowing the spatial assessment of multiple climate change impacts in coastal areas and the ranking of key elements at risk (beaches, wetlands, protected areas, urban and agricultural areas).
Effective mitigation also requires identifying the elements-at-risk, i.e., people, structures, infrastructure, natural resources, ecological habitat, which may be destroyed, damaged or functionally impaired by debris flows.
With the hazard levels defined, any elements-at-risk from debris flow occurrence can be readily identified and their risk determined.
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.
Typical elements-at-risk potentially affected by debris flows include roads, hydroelectric facilities, telecommunication sites, pipelines for water systems and energy transmission, and buildings.
Because it involves much of the same terrain, the variables influencing post-fire debris flow occurrence and the elements-at-risk which are threatened are very similar.
