Answers
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)
