Other International Definitions
United Nations
People, property, systems, or other elements present in hazard zones that are thereby subject to potential losses [5]. Measures of exposure can include the number of people or types of assets in an area. These can be combined with the specific vulnerability of the exposed elements to any particular hazard to estimate the quantitative risks associated with that hazard in the area of interest.
UNISDR
Exposure: People, property, systems, or other elements present in hazard zones that are thereby subject to potential losses. [6]
Enjeux: Personnes, biens, systèmes, ou autres éléments présents dans les zones de risque et qui sont ainsi soumis à des pertes potentielles. [7]
Подверженность угрозе: Люди, имущество, системы и другие элементы, находящиеся в зоне повышенной опасности, которые тем самым подвергаются потенциальной угрозе понести ущерб. [8]
Grado de Exposición: La población, las propiedades, los sistemas u otros elementos presentes en las zonas donde existen amenazas y, por consiguiente, están expuestos a experimentar pérdidas potenciales. [9]
التعرض: تواجد السكان والممتلكات والأنظمة والعناصر الأخرى في منطقة المخاطر، وتعرضهم بالتالي لحدوث خسائر محتملة. [10]
