Vulnerability
Disaster risk formula
Natural hazard x vulnerability
the concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to analyze and manage the causal factors of disasters, including through reduced exposures to hazards, lessened vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment, and improved preparedness for adverse events
Disaster risk reduction
The systematic process of using administrative directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to implement strategies, policies and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster
Disaster risk reduction and management
DRRM: avoid hazards and mitigate their potential impacts by reducing vulnerabilities and exposure and enhancing capacities of communities
Disaster prevention and mitigation
DRRM: establish and strengthen capacities of communities to anticipate, cope, and recover from the negative impacts of emergency occurrences and disasters
Disaster preparedness
DRRM: provide life preservation and meet the basic subsistence needs of affected population based on acceptable standards during or immediately after a disaster

Resilience
Framework with the goal of preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk through the implementation of integrated and inclusive economic, structural, legal, social, health, cultural, educational, environmental, technological, political, and institutional measures that prevent and reduce hazard exposure and vulnerability to disaster, increase preparedness for response and recovery, and thus strengthen resilience
