Vulnerability

Type: Keyphrase

Name: Vulnerability

description: Represents the interface between exposure to the physical threats to human well-being and the capacity of people and communities to cope with those threats. Vulnerability can be seen as the combination of exposure and sensitivity to risk and the (in)ability to cope or adapt. An underlying premise here is that if the vulnerability of a particular human-environment system, be it a village, city, river basin, country or region, to environmental and/or socio-economic change increases, the overall human well-being in that system decreases both directly through the reduced security and potentially through the risk of actual losses. In many, but not all, cases, improving capacity to adapt to multiple stresses in a particular place can also contribute to increasing human well-being.

Quotes

Gov. Bobby Jindal said, "This ruling highlights the fact that Hurricane Katrina's damage was exacerbated by the failure of the Corps of Engineers to properly operate and maintain water resources projects in Louisiana. There are very real and human implications of the failure to quickly solve challenges and address vulnerabilities in our hurricane protection system. I hope this decision will serve as a catalyst for the corps, Congress and the administration to aggressively move forward on hurricane protection and coastal restoration efforts in Louisiana."

"So, all we are saying is that we need to expand mental health service to reach a wider proportion of those in need. But we need to make deliberate efforts to reach those down our society - down in terms of social status, in terms of poverty and vulnerability. This is very important because the bulk of mental health problems are not what the society considers to be mental health problems. The society thinks only those who are 'mad' have mental illness. But these constitute a small proportion of those with mental illness. In our offices, neighbourhoods and homes, there are people who have mental disorder. But they are not being treated because they are not violent, or running amok. They have depression, anxiety, personal problems and phobias."
