Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping

Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping is the process of identifying areas and communities that are at risk to various hazards, such as natural disasters or environmental threats. It involves analyzing factors like geography, infrastructure, and social conditions to determine how vulnerable these areas are. This information is then visualized through maps, helping decision-makers prioritize resources, improve planning, and implement strategies to reduce risks. Ultimately, it aims to enhance safety and resilience by understanding and addressing potential weaknesses in communities and systems.
