DISASTER RISK

The combination of the probability of an event and its  negative consequences.  This includes the severity of hazard, number of damage to  people and resources, and their vulnerability to damage.

Hazard – any phenomenon that can  potentially cause damage.  

Exposure – any element that is present in a hazard and is  prone to potential loss.

Vulnerability - a feature of a community  that makes them prone and exposed to the  impacts of a hazard
