NaturalRiskZones

-- Definition -- Discrete spatial objects representing natural phenomenon relevant to the study of natural hazards which occurred, or is currently occuring, and which has been observed.

-- Definition -- A coverage representation of natural risks.

-- Definition -- A coverage representating continuous information about exposed elements.

-- Definition -- A risk zone is the spatial extent of a combination of the consequences of an event (hazard) and the associated probability/likelihood of its occurrence.

-- Definition -- A natural phenomenon relevant to the study of natural hazards which occurred and which has been observed.

-- Definition -- A coverage representing continuous information about a type of natural hazard.

-- Definition -- A coverage representing continuous information about observed events.

-- Definition -- Discrete spatial objects representing a natural hazard.

-- Definition -- Discrete spatial objects representing exposed element.

-- Definition -- SOURCE : [UNISDR, 2009] People, property, systems, or other elements present in hazard zones that are thereby subject to potential losses.

-- Definition -- An area affected by a natural hazard. -- Description -- A natural hazard is a natural process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or other impacts, property damage, loss livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. [Council of The European Union - Commission Staff Working Paper - Risk Assessment and Mapping Guidelines for Disaster Management].

-- Definition -- Discrete spatial objects representing the spatial extent of a combination of the consequences of an event (hazard) and the associated probability/likelihood of its occurrence.

-- Definition -- This class provides piece of information about the nature of the exposed element which is relevant to risk analysis.

-- Definition -- A frequency of occurrence or return period of a hazard phenomenon.

-- Definition -- This class provides piece of information about the nature of the natural hazard as well as the type of hazard which is the source of risk.

-- Definition -- Quantitative or qualitative assessment of either risk, hazard or vulnerability. -- Description -- Common concept for assessing the level of risk, or the level of hazard, or the level of vulnerability.

-- Definition -- Assessment of the vulnerability. -- Description -- It contains piece of information about the source the vulnerability, about the level of vulnerability and about the magnitude or intensity of the hazard for which vulnerability is assessed.

-- Definition -- Likelihood is a general concept relating to the chance of an event occurring. -- Description -- Likelihood is generally expressed as a probability or a frequency. [EXCIFF].

-- Definition -- An additional classification of the natural hazard. -- Description -- The allowed values for this coded list comprise the values defined by data providers.

-- Definition -- An additional denomination of exposed elements. -- Description -- The allowed values for this coded list comprise the values defined by data providers.

-- Definition -- A generic classification of types of natural hazards.

-- Definition -- A classification of the exposed element.

-- Definition -- An enumeration to describe the method used to define the area of hazard or risk. -- Description -- There are several ways to delineate the perimeter of a hazard or a risk : to model it, or to assess it indirectly
