DEFINITION: Conditional probability of an outcome given a set of data, assumptions and information. Also used as a qualitative description of probability and frequency (Landslide Risk Management, editors Hungr et al, Balkema, 2005).

DEFINITION: A measure of the degree of certainty. This measure has a value between 0 (impossibility) and 1.0 (certainty). It is an estimate of the likelihood of the magnitude of the uncertain quantity, or the likelihood of the occurrence of the uncertain future event (Landslide Risk Management, editors Hungr et al, Balkema, 2005).

HAZARD (1):A hazard is a potentially damaging process or situation (the landslide).
![Page 7: Disaster Risk Reduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052903/557622a6d8b42a4e1c8b4db1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
For example, an earthquake above a certain intensity or a landslide of sufficient size, depth, or displacement to cause damage or disruption or, as an example of a situation, the presence of weak foundation material (Landslide Hazard and Risk, editors Glade, T. et al, 2006)
![Page 8: Disaster Risk Reduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052903/557622a6d8b42a4e1c8b4db1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
HAZARD (2): The probability of a potentially damaging event (a landslide) occurring in a unit of time.
![Page 9: Disaster Risk Reduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052903/557622a6d8b42a4e1c8b4db1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Explanation: This probability varies with the magnitude of the event (generally small landslides occur more frequently than large landslides). Consequently hazard is often expressed as the probability of occurrence of a given magnitude of event. Defined in this way, hazard represents a state or condition and is assessed and applied to a particular place, for example site, unit area of land surface, region or object, lifelines, hydro dams and so on (Landslide Hazard and Risk, editors Glade, T. et al, 2006) .

Hazard is the probability that a particular danger (threat) occurs within a given period of time (Landslide Risk Management, editors Hungr et al, pp.4, Balkema, 2005).

A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or environment (Wikipedia).

A potentially damaging physical event or phenomenon that may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation (DRMP, Distt. Sialkot, DDMA, November, 2008)
![Page 13: Disaster Risk Reduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052903/557622a6d8b42a4e1c8b4db1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
DYNAMIC HAZARD: A hazard resulting
from the active, generally episodic behaviour of the natural process (Landslide Hazard and Risk, editors Glade, T. et al, 2006) .
![Page 14: Disaster Risk Reduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052903/557622a6d8b42a4e1c8b4db1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
STATIC HAZARD: Hazard arising not through episodic behaviour of the natural agent but by human actions leading to the encounter of static hazardous conditions.
For example, building on weak foundation material (Landslide Hazard and Risk, editors Glade, T. et al, 2006)
![Page 15: Disaster Risk Reduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052903/557622a6d8b42a4e1c8b4db1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
NATURAL HAZARDS: include anything that is caused by a natural process, and can include obvious hazards such as volcanoes to smaller scale hazards such as loose rocks on a hillside (Wikipedia).
![Page 16: Disaster Risk Reduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052903/557622a6d8b42a4e1c8b4db1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MAN-MADE HAZARDS: (Anthropogenic Hazards) are created by humans, whether long-term (such as global warming) or immediate (like the hazards present at a construction site). (Wikipedia).
![Page 17: Disaster Risk Reduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052903/557622a6d8b42a4e1c8b4db1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hazards are sometimes classified into three modes:
Dormant - The situation has the potential to be hazardous, but no people, property, or environment is currently affected by this. For instance, a hillside may be unstable, with the potential for a landslide, but there is nothing below or on the hillside that could be affected.
![Page 18: Disaster Risk Reduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052903/557622a6d8b42a4e1c8b4db1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Armed - People, property, or environment are in potential harm's way.
Active - A harmful incident involving the hazard has actually occurred. Often this is referred to not as an "active hazard" but as an accident, emergency, incident, or disaster. (wikipedia)

The concept of vulnerability expresses the multidimensionality of disasters by focusing attention on the totality of relationships in a given social situation which constitute a condition that, in combination with environmental forces, produces a disaster (Wikipedia).
![Page 29: Disaster Risk Reduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052903/557622a6d8b42a4e1c8b4db1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY: The propensity (tendency) of an area to undergo landsliding. It is the function of the degree of inherent stability of the slope (as indicated by the factor of safety or excess strength) together with presence of factors capable of reducing the excess strength and ultimately triggering movement (Landslide Hazard and Risk, editors Glade, T. et al, 2006).
