Vulnerability is at the heart of good risk assessment

How do you recognise and address your vulnerabilities to disasters? We are all exposed to different hazards. To different disasters. We are all differently vulnerable.

The internationally respected Standard on Continuity, Emergency, and Crisis Management (NFPA 1600) defines risk as a measure of the probability and severity of adverse effects that result from exposure to a hazard.

Drawing on NFPA internationally respected standards for disaster management and vulnerability assessment, the recently released Damocles Risk Assessor app applies the standards to align with your context. Supporting effective planning – before and after disaster impact.

Calibrate risk thresholds to your context
Keep plans short and straightforward
