Risk and Disaster Risk

Risk has various connotations within different disciplines. In
general, risk is defined as “the combination of the
probability of an event and its negative consequences”
(UNISDR, 2009). The term risk is thus multidisciplinary and
is used in a variety of contexts. It is usually associated with
the degree to which humans cannot cope (lack of capacity)
with a situation (e.g. natural hazard).
The term disaster risk refers to the potential (not actual and
realized) disaster losses, in lives, health status, livelihoods,
assets, and services which could occur in a community or
society over some specified future time period.
Disaster risk is the product of the possible damage caused
by a hazard due to the vulnerability within a community. It
should be noted that the effect of a hazard (of a particular
magnitude) would affect communities differently (Von
Kotze, 1999:35).
It can also be determined by the presence of three
variables: hazards (natural or anthropogenic); vulnerability
to a hazard; and coping capacity linked to the reduction,
mitigation, and resilience to the vulnerability of a
community.
