(S10ES – Ia-j-36.1) Geologic activities such as (ethnicity,
seismicity) or the occurrence of earthquake,
(extravasation, volcanism), and mountain

 disaster risk is defined as “the potential loss of
life, injury, or destroyed or damaged assets
which could occur to a system, society or a
community in a specific period of time,
determined probabilistically as a function of
hazard, exposure, and capacity”. In the technical
sense, it is defined through the combination of
three terms: hazard, exposure and vulnerability.
Disaster Risk
Reduction "is aimed at
preventing new and
reducing existing disaster
risk and managing residual
risk, all of which contribute
to
strengthening resilience and
therefore to the
achievement of sustainable
development".  The
UNDRR definition further
annotates that “disaster risk
reduction is the policy
objective of disaster risk
management, and its goals
and objectives are defined
in disaster risk reduction
strategies and plans".
