The vulnerability module requires the definition of vulnerability functions as defined in the CAPRA platform. The vulnerability functions shall be defined for the different assets records in the exposure DB. Those functions allow to quantify the physical damage and human loss in terms of mean damage ratio (MDR) that can suffer an asset for a specific hazard scenario.

This software allows the user to create, visualize and compare new and existing vulnerability functions. The software uses a simple analytical methodology to obtain new vulnerability functions based on a few parameters. The methodology used to obtain new vulnerability functions are based on the methodology proposed by Yamin et al. 2014 and Council 1985 with a few modifications. The vulnerability functions are represented by three main parameters the hazard intensity parameter value, the expected and the variance value of the MDR for either physical damage or human loss. Finally, the user can create its own vulnerability function and save it to *.fvu format to be used in the risk assessment using the CAPRA-GIS Software.
