Abstract

Natural hazards may turn into disasters because of neglecting the current vulnerable situation in communities. UNICEF’s Child Centered Risk Assessment methodology was shaped by taking into account local circumstances. These circumstances may vary in time and space. Vulnerability has been assessed at the community level taking into consideration the main vulnerability indicators. Using the approach and data, flood, landslide, and earthquake hazard maps and multi-hazard map have been made. The multi hazard map has been overlaid with the child vulnerability map to show general child centered disaster risks.
