Paragraph text
Vulnerability is widely recognized as an important element in disaster risk reduction and management. The most vulnerable, such as those living in poverty or with insecure tenure, are more likely to live in disaster-prone land; they are also at greater risks of displacement and loss of livelihood in the event of a disaster; and they will recover with more difficulty from the disaster.
