GeoAdaptive has developed and implemented a standardized method to conduct probabilistic exposure, vulnerability, and risk assessments for numerous cities worldwide, including many cities in the Global South. We have specific experience managing and integrating hazards and risk information into planning procedures and instruments, and disaster preparedness. These assessments are used to guide decision-making and planning, and provide a solid base to develop Disaster Risk Management (DRM), Climate Change adaptation (CCA), and resilient urban strategies.
In our analysis we develop different risk profiles that provide quantitative information regarding the areas where risk is concentrated as well as considering different types of exposed assets and populations. These results provide a clear picture for decision makers in areas where implementation of risk mitigation measures are required. Additional results that are beneficial for decision makers are: total losses for different return periods (PML) and risk premiums (Annual Average Loss, AAL).
