b) In terms of its methodology, the NRR discusses vulnerability but does not accept the premise (Hewitt 1983) that it is the major component of risk. Hence, the risk register largely discusses hazards and threats, not risks sensu stricto. (e) e) The risks are prioritised by giving most weight to those associated with hostile activity.

Most of them are highly vulnerable to seismic forces. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences 15: 931-945. Natural Hazards 109: 161-200. Many, perhaps most, people in Turkey live in multi-storey, multiple occupancy reinforced concrete frame buildings. It is these that collapse. Ecemis, S.Z. Korkmaz, M.H.

The cascade is a result of the progression of a shock through different kinds of vulnerability. It is obvious that military instability is likely to complicate and retard the process of getting natural hazard impacts under control. There has recently been a surge of research interest in disaster and conflict (ref).

Secondly, and more importantly, vulnerability, risk, impact and their controlling factors are all trending. I recommend going back to vulnerability and endeavouring to identify, understand and reduce it. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences 13(11): 2707-2716. What can we do instead?

Unofficial voices have suggested that the 'cure to damage ratio' for natural hazards is 1:43. Disaster Planning and Emergency Management, 18 July 2017.

While not independent of the magnitude of physical forces involved, it is not linearly related to them because it depends on the nature and size of the vulnerabilities that the physical forces act upon. For example, counter-terrorism policy and policy against natural hazards can be quite different. Krausmann, E.,

Flooding is one of the most common, pervasive, and costliest natural hazards in Canada , with a history of causing major disasters. By analyzing factors such as topography, hydrology, and historical flood data, flood risk assessments can help communities identify areas that are most vulnerable to flooding.
