The MOVE framework considers disaster vulnerability as a function of exposure, susceptibility (socially, economically, physically, culturally, environmentally, institutionally) and a lack of resilience.
The myriad factors that exacerbate illness, vulnerability or susceptibility aren't collated.
They remind us of our limitations and our place in the great chain of being; they are symbols of our vulnerability, our susceptibility to random death and disaster, our primal awareness, in Mr. Quammen's words, "of being meat".
Vulnerability The susceptibility of the exposed people/assets to the physical characteristics of the volcanic hazardin question and the resulting consequences (i.e. death, injury or damage).
The public health risk will depend on the interaction of these complex processes and the vulnerability and susceptibility of occupants in the affected areas.
Negative consequences arise from the interplay between resilience (the capacity to adjust and recover from a hazard) and vulnerability (the susceptibility to damage from a hazard) (Paton [2005]; UNISDR [2009]).
That was why her appearance, and her obvious vulnerability and susceptibility, seemed especially shocking and disappointing.
Another confounding factor that affects classification accuracy is that vulnerability and susceptibility vary from one animal to another, which may be caused by many factors such as genetic make-up, age, and physiological status.
A typical definition of vulnerability is susceptibility to be harmed [ 22].
A high score indicated stronger feeling of vulnerability or susceptibility to HIV/AIDS.
