UNEP / INERIS: Assessing the Vulnerability of Local Communities (2008)
Description:
The Community Risk Profile (CRP) tool provides communities with a means of making a rough estimate of various types of risks they are exposed to, supporting the decision making process, especially as to whether or not further assessments are needed. The CRP is not a risk assessment tool but it provides users with a qualitative approach to characterise an expected level of risk and thus decide on the necessity for further assessment. It is also a tool that can be used to support awareness raising and capacity building activities.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
This guidance assists authorities with assessment of regional resources (chapter 2 and 3).
