In this module, the learner will be able to explain the meaning of vulnerability.
Aside from being able to explain the meaning of vulnerability, the learner will also be able
to apply the different applications and real-life situations. Knowing the meaning of the

vulnerability became the primary considerations of the community when it comes to
exposure, prevention, mitigation, and recovery from a particular hazard.
