attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally. Exposure refers to
people, property, system or other elements present in hazard zones that are
thereby subject to potential losses while hazard is defined as a dangerous
phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of
life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihood and
service, social and economic disruption or environmental damage.
Hazards may be caused by flooding, earthquakes, wildfires, landslide or dam
failure and can be mitigated through implementation of such hazard mitigation
action leads to building stronger, safer and smarter communities that are
better able to reduce future injuries and future damage.
