Exposure
The situation of people, infrastructure, housing, production capacities and other tangible human assets located in hazard-prone areas.
Annotation: Measures of exposure can include the number of people or types of assets in an area. These can be combined with the specific vulnerability and capacity of the exposed elements to any particular hazard to estimate the quantitative risks associated with that hazard in the area of interest.
