Vulnerable Populations

An act to make provisions for the coordination and implementation of measures to alleviate the effects of disasters.

The 2019 Human Development Report is the latest in the series of global Human Development Reports published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) since 1990 as independent, analytically and empirically grounded discussions of major development issues, trends and policies.

This report sets out INFORM's vision for the future, includes the latest results of the Global Risk Index, as well as a prototype version of the INFORM Global Crisis Severity Index, which will be published as a beta version in 2019.

This report describes the concept and methodology of the composite Index For Risk Management (INFORM). An initial version (version 2014) was completed and a first report published in January 2014, and was used in a 10 month process of peer review, user consultation and methodological improvements.

This country risk profile for Namibia provides a comprehensive view of hazard, risk and uncertainties for floods and droughts in a changing climate, with projections for the period 2050-2100.

The UNDP Comoros office through the project “Integration of disaster risk reduction into policies to reduce poverty in the Union of the Comoros” intends to contribute in the development of a mapping of volcanic and seismic hazards, cyclonic, landslides, and floods on all three islands (Grande Comore, Anjouan and Mohéli).

The Evaluation of Vulnerability to the Risks of Flooding in the Union of the Comoros is a document that:

The extent to which prevention, coping and adaptation differ from country to country is illustrated by this World Risk Report. With the World Risk Index, it provides an analysis of disaster risks worldwide and indicates which countries are in the greatest need to strengthen measures for coping with and adapting to extreme natural events.

The Country Risk Profiles provide a comprehensive view of hazard, risk and uncertainties for floods and droughts in a changing climate, with projections for the period 2050-2100. The risk assessment considers a large number of possible scenarios, their likelihood, and associated impacts.

The objective of this study is to assess the vulnerability of the population of the Comoros to different hydrometeorological and geological hazards, taking into account the characteristics and specificities of each of the islands of the Union of the Comoros.
