Exposure (E)
The presence of people, infrastructure, or assets in hazard-prone areas, increasing their potential for harm
Acceptable risk or tolerable risk
The extent to which a disaster risk is seen to be acceptable depending on social, economic, political, cultural, technical, and environmental conditions
Residual risk
The disaster risk that remains even when effective disaster risk reduction measures are kept in place, and for which emergency response and recovery capacities must be maintained
Extensive disaster risk
The spread or coverage of a disaster, often affecting a wide geographical area or a large population
Intensive disaster risk
