Risk intensity and response capacity will be separately analysed and the results will be linked to the vulnerability intensity.

The degree of vulnerability is a product of the scale of the risk (proportion of population sustaining land or proportion of the population affected) and the imminence of the risk.

As vulnerability to disasters poses great challenges to socio economic development, disaster risk reduction and management emerge as important development issues.

Young children's vulnerability to risks.

Aspects such as, access to information, provision of services network, capacity for personal perception of risk, personal ability to deal with risky situations, gender and generational relationships, attitudes related to sexuality, religious beliefs, poverty, and social and health services define a greater or lesser vulnerability and risk to infection by HIV AIDS.
