Vulnerability
It is the totality of characteristics and circumstances of a society or an individual that makes them susceptible to the impact of a hazard. It is a socio-economic component that includes factors reducing the ability to adapt, resist, and recover. Poverty, low education, poor construction quality, social exclusion, ineffective governance, lack of information – all these increase vulnerability.
Original version
Pažeidžiamumas (angl. Vulnerability)
Tai visuomenės ar individo savybių ir aplinkybių visuma, dėl kurios jie yra neatsparūs pavojaus poveikiui. Tai yra socialinė-ekonominė dedamoji, kuri apima veiksnius, mažinančius gebėjimą prisitaikyti, atsispirti ir atsigauti. Skurdas, menkas išsilavinimas, prasta statybų kokybė, socialinė atskirtis, neveiksminga valdžia, informacijos trūkumas – visa tai didina pažeidžiamumą.
