EXTENSION OF THE MODEL Sample Clauses

EXTENSION OF THE MODEL. Based on reviewer comments and lessons learned during this work the vulnerability model has been extended and updated in a second (final) version. Two new indicators have been introduced and a third indicator has been slightly changed. The new indicators are ‘critical infrastructure’ and ‘risk awareness’. Critical infrastructure (Papathoma-Köhle et al., 2007, Taubenböck et al., 2008) summarizes critical (care) facilities and lifelines, that are important for the functioning of the society and that have shown to contribute to the impacts of natural hazards, if located in the affected area. Hospitals and schools hit surprisingly by a landslide are considered particularly vulnerable, due to the amount and the susceptibility of people allocated at these places. Besides that, as recently highlighted by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, the destruction of life supporting infrastructure and infrastructure necessary for the functioning of the society, such as the road network, telecommunication, or power supply increases vulnerability and hampers emergency management as well as the recovery process. Risk awareness in the population is supposed to influence peoples’ preparedness and behaviour in case of an emergency (Xxxxxxx et al., 2005, Xxxxx et al., 2004, Taubenböck et al., 2008). Education can indicate to what extent people have a basic understanding of processes in nature and society, are able to understand and judge information material, and how they follow media and information flows. However, it is not necessarily related to risk perception and awareness. Risk awareness is particularly related to the exposure (in terms of closeness) to the hazard, their experience with landslides, the time they have been living in the exposed area, and the information they get regarding their specific, local risk situation, possible mitigation measures, and procedures in case of an emergency. Risk awareness is individual and subjective, and therefore difficult to measure. As the proposed model is a quantitative model, relying on measureable data sources the indicator ‘risk awareness’ here includes mainly two factors: the length of residence (Xxxxxxx et al., 2005), and the information status of the exposed people. In addition to these new indicators two preparedness indicators have been merged: ‘Landslide hazard evaluation’ and ‘early warning system’. This is mainly to not overestimate the preparedness in the overall vulnerability analysis. Landslides might come as very s...
