Landslide-dependent indicators‌ Sample Clauses

Landslide-dependent indicators‌. The majority of the indicators in the socio-economic vulnerability model can be adapted to assess the vulnerability level associated with most types of natural disasters. However, this does not imply that model is generic and can be directly applied for earthquakes, floods, etc. The degree of relevance of each indicator to the model is very hazard-dependent. For instance, landslides generally cause more infrastructure and natural resource losses than casualties, therefore the impact of the ‘quality of medical services’ indicator should not be weighted as heavily as in, say, an earthquake vulnerability model. Each of the indicators in this model has been weighted to express the expected effects of landslides.
