A Sensitivity Analysis of the Social Vulnerability Index

Risk Analysis, 2008
The Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI), created by Cutter et al. (2003), examined the spatial patterns of social vulnerability to natural hazards at the county level in the United States in order to describe and understand the social burdens of risk. The purpose of this article is to examine the sensitivity of quantitative features underlying the SoVI ...

The development of a fire vulnerability index for the mediterranean region

2011 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2011
The SIGRI (Sistema Integrato per la Gestione del Rischio Incendi) pilot project, funded by ASI (the Italian Space Agency), aims at developing an Integrated System for the Management of the Wild Fire Events. The system should provide satellite based products capable to help fire contrasting activities during all the phases: prevision, detection, and ...

Governance and Climate Vulnerability Index

Water Resources Management, 2012
Water resources in the Middle East are under enormous stress, due to an increase in population growth and the extensive use of water resources, which exceeds the water demand in this regional bloc. Moreover, climatic changes pose another dimension of stress on water resources; these changes have significant environmental, social, and economic effects ...

The combined vulnerability: a novel hybrid index for the aquifer vulnerability assessment

2023
The aim of the present work is to extend the existing overlay and index method for aquifer vulnerability assessment to groundwater transport. This novel procedure falls into the category of “hybrid” methods since it combines the overlay and index methods, that considers only vertical transport through the vadose zone, with the ...

Heat Vulnerability Index Mapping for Milwaukee and Wisconsin

Journal of Public Health Management and Practice, 2017
Context: Extreme heat waves elevate the population's risk for heat-related morbidity and mortality, specifically for vulnerable groups such as older adults and young children. In this context, we developed 2 Heat Vulnerability Indices (HVIs), one for the state of Wisconsin and one for the Milwaukee metropolitan area.

Repetitive extrasystole as an index of vulnerability to ventricular fibrillation

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1976
The assessment of ventricular vulnerability by inducing ventricular fibrillation (VF) presents limitations when neural activity is being investigated, especially in the unanesthetized animal. As repetitive extrasystoles (RE) have been observed to precede the occurrence of VF, it was relevant to determine whether the RE threshold provides a reliable ...

A novel vulnerability index and approach for improving road network vulnerability

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering
A transportation network’s recovery depends on its vulnerability to disaster impacts and functionality restoration. This study proposes two novel indexes for comprehensively measuring the vulnerability of road networks: link vulnerability measurement and node vulnerability measurement.
