Exposure analysis

One of the most important components of the risk assessment is the exposure analysis. The interaction of elements at risk and hazard defines the exposure.  We have seen the 10 hazard types for which hazard maps have been prepared:  Earthquake (EQ), Flooding (FL), Landslides (LS), Mudlfows (MF), Rockfalls (RF), Wildfires (WF), Snow Avalanches (SA), Drought (DR),  Windstorm (WS) and Hailstorm (HS). 

The following exposure types are made:

• Buildings: Number of buildings per hazard class & hazard type within the administrative unit
• Population:  Number of people per hazard class & hazard type within the administrative unit 
• Gross Domestic Product in Lari per hazard class & hazard type within the administrative unit
• Roads:  Length of roads (highways and paved roads) in meters per hazard class & hazard type within the administrative unit
• Pipelines: Length of pipelines (oilpipelines and gaspipelines) in meters per hazard class & hazard type within the administrative unit
• Protected Areas: Area of Natural Parks (protected areas) in hectares per hazard class & hazard type within the administrative unit
• Forests:  Area of Forests in hectares per hazard class & hazard type within the administrative unit
• Crops: Area of Crops in hectares per hazard class & hazard type within the administrative unit
