Within minutes of shaking, the earthquake reveals the vulnerabilities

of buildings, households, communities, and of a country. The

consequences expose flaws in governance, planning, siting of

physical structure, design, construction, and use of the built

environment in country with seismic hazard. It reveals the influence

of prevailing culture and way of life, on the capacity of the

community to be preparedness for an earthquake hazard. The scale

of physical damage and social disruption inflicted upon a community

or a nation by an earthquake event is the measure of how vulnerable

the community or the nation is.

Vulnerability is a set of prevailing or consequential conditions,

which adversely affect an individual, a household or a community's

ability to mitigate, prepare for or respond to the earthquake hazard.

Vulnerability can also be defined as the degree of loss to a given

element at risk, or set of such elements, resulting from an

earthquake of a given magnitude or intensity, which is usually

expressed on a scale from 0 (no damage) to 10 (total loss)
