Increased human population can sometimes result to
Increased Vulnerability
During the initial stage of a typhoon that causes a disaster, almost all surface means of transportation within the community are disrupted by broken bridges, roads, and streets that are rendered impassable by landslides or floods. The restrictred mobility of vehicles makes rescue and other emergency operations doubly difficult. What is this impact/effect of disaster?
Disruption of Transportation
What could be the possible reason why urban region is more vulnerable to Covid-19 than the rural region?
Urban region has higher population density than rural region
Why is it that Japan is less vulnerable to Covid-19 pandemic than other Asian countries?
They have the capacity to do mass testing
NCR has very high population density making it more vulnerable to any hazard like what happened during the lockdown where all members of the family have no choice but to stay in a very small living space. To lessen the population density of NCR, the government proposed the

2. Availability of services during times of natural disaster

Factors affecting vulnerability are the following EXCEPT
1. Population Density
2. Location of the Community
3. Building Codes and Policies
4. Occurrence of Natural Hazards
Building codes and Policies
