Explanation

Risk pairs with the frequency of events causing losses, reflecting how often a hazard strikes.

Exposure pairs with the magnitude of population and structures at risk in a hazard zone.

Vulnerability pairs with the degree of preparedness that shapes how badly a group is affected.

Response pairs with the actions taken to mitigate losses after or before an event.

These four terms together frame how disaster risk is assessed and managed.

Reducing vulnerability and boosting response are core aims of disaster management.
