Global Vulnerability Index

The Global Vulnerability Index is a measurement that assesses how susceptible a country or community is to various risks like natural disasters, economic instability, or health crises. It considers factors such as infrastructure resilience, social safety nets, economic stability, and disaster preparedness. A higher index score indicates greater vulnerability, meaning the area is more at risk during adverse events. This helps policymakers, organizations, and stakeholders identify weaknesses and plan strategies to reduce risks and improve resilience globally.
