"We are more vulnerable precisely because of the high population density and the large quantity of high-risk settlements that proliferate in the metropolitan zone".
Had the project considered ways to reduce these impacts, residents would likely have been less reluctant to leave their high-risk settlement.
Thanks to her, 159 additional children received the polio vaccine in this high-risk settlement.
Coastal erosion and storms represent a source of risk for settlements and infrastructure along the coast.
Results indicated that the umbrella arch and face bolt applications have significantly diminished the risk of settlement damage on buildings by reducing the ground settlements and convergence as 69%and57%7%, respectively.
Still, regulators' concerns about naked shorting mainly reflect the risk to settlement, rather than to the integrity of large companies' share prices.
In some states bondholders bear the entire risk if settlement payments get squeezed.

Prof Krishna KC, who heads the geography department at the Prithvi Narayan Campus in Pokhara, agreed about the risks to settlements, but thinks that the main tourist centre in Pokhara does not face immediate threat because it is relatively far from the waterway.
The spatial distribution of these units gives rise to three, locally juxtaposed, stratigraphic motifs in Pisa underground, reflecting different potential risks for settlement under building loads.
New Rest's transition from a high-risk informal settlement to a low-risk formal one suggests a well-built development, designed and engineered in a manner appropriate to its location.
