Abstract

In particular, the authors of the article suggest supplementing the toolkit of Risk Assessment at the Local level, revising the methodology of GIS map creation. It is recommended to especially strengthen financial and economic assessment tools during the evaluation stage, so that it is possible to implement the Disaster Risk Reduction or Management Plans prepared by the Disaster Risk Assessment methodology and to clearly calculate the volumes and directions of financial investments for risk reduction.
Key words, disaster risk assessment, methodology, community, hazard, vulnerability, capacity, impact buffer zone, GIS mapping.
