Risk Assessment in Vulnerable Communities

EasyChair Preprint 13803

Abstract

Risk assessment is a critical process in safeguarding vulnerable communities against a diverse range of hazards. This article delves into the pivotal role of risk assessment in identifying and mitigating risks specifically tailored to vulnerable populations. Vulnerable communities, encompassing low-income neighborhoods, marginalized groups, and regions prone to natural disasters, confront heightened risks from various sources such as floods, earthquakes, pandemics, and socio-economic challenges. Effective risk assessment serves as a cornerstone for comprehensively understanding these risks and implementing targeted strategies to reduce their impact. This paper examines the methodologies, challenges, and practical implications associated with conducting risk assessments in such communities.
