Vulnerability is the susceptibility to physical or emotional injury or attack. It also means to have one's guard down, open to censure or criticism; assailable. Vulnerability refers to a person's state of being liable to succumb, as to persuasion or temptation (see Thywissen 2006 for a comparison of vulnerability definitions).

In relation to hazards and disasters, vulnerability is a concept that links the relationship that people have with their environment to social forces and institutions and the cultural values that sustain and contest them. “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” (Bankoff et al. 2004: 11).

It's also the extent to which changes could harm a system.In other words, it's the extent to which a community can be affected by the impact of a hazard.

Write a vulnerability assessment report for an urban medical clinic.I am not sure how to write an assesment?

I do not no how to write an assesment report can someone help?

Depends on what is being assessed. often these are security and in particular computer network related. below is a link to a very detailed report including risk assessments. also a link to a network var.

Vulnerability assessment. what is it? how does it work? what is so important about it?

From wikipedia:

"Vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying and quantifying vulnerabilities in a system. The system being studied could be a physical facility like a nuclear power plant, a computer system, or a larger system (for example the communications infrastructure or water infrastructure of a region).

Vulnerability assessment has many things in common with risk assessment. Assessments are typically performed according to the following steps:

1. Cataloging assets and capabilities (resources) in a system
2. Assigning quantifiable value and importance to the resources
3. Identifying the vulnerabilities or potential threats to each resource
4. Mitigating or eliminating the most serious vulnerabilities for the most valuable resources

When dealing with computers, vulnerability assessment is also known as "white hat hacking"



When setting up a new business, or fixing an old one, you need to assess the whole business for holes, so that competitors or clients do not take you for a ride. A Vulnerabilty Assessment is VERY important, and must be done thoroughly.

Also look at Risk Assessment/Management

Cause of vulnerability assessment report example high priority medium priority low priority?

Help me with this one

You'd have to explain what you're asking first. A high priority vulnerability is deemed as something that could cause significant damage to your system, if exploited. A medium priority would cause less damage than a high and is likely harder to exploit, etc. These levels are determined by the person discovering the flaws and the manufacturer of the software, equipment, or person responsible for the asset based on many factors. However, these factors vary from organization to organization, so there is no specific algorithm or metric to use to prioritize the vulnerability. Some would be quite obvious (alarm system failure) while others are much harder to assess (potential for DoS on alarm company caused by ISP outage).

WG

The report should include the results of your vulnerability assessment, as well as recommendations for how the clinic should address the vulnerabilities it faces to reduce the risk of loss. Discuss the vulnerabilities, potential consequences, strategic recommendations, and the order in which the vulnerabilities should be addressed. Write a 3- to 4-page report in APA format.

i dont know what HOW a consultant would write it?!

Paragraph 1
summarise background info, findings, recommendations.

P2
Explain finding #1 and what that means

P3
Explain finding #2 and what that means

P4
Explain...3...

P5-6 ish
Recommendations and why it is neccessary

Final Paragraph
Summarise background, findings, neccessary, add a call to action
