Translated version
Exposure (eng. Exposure)
This is the presence of people, property, systems, or other elements in a hazardous zone. Exposure defines what and how much can be affected. It is a spatial component that can be depicted on a map. For example, a city built at the foot of an active volcano has a high exposure. The more people and critical infrastructure (hospitals, power plants) are in the hazard zone, the greater the exposure.
Original version
Poveikis (angl. Exposure)
Tai žmonių, turto, sistemų ar kitų elementų buvimas pavojaus veikiamoje zonoje. Poveikis apibrėžia, kas ir kiek gali nukentėti. Tai erdvinė dedamoji, kurią galima pavaizduoti žemėlapyje. Pavyzdžiui, miestas, pastatytas aktyvaus ugnikalnio papėdėje, turi didelį poveikį. Kuo daugiau žmonių ir kritinės infrastruktūros (ligoninių, elektrinių) yra pavojaus zonoje, tuo poveikis didesnis.
