### **Infographic Layout for Physical Vulnerability**
#### **Title**:
**Understanding Physical Vulnerability in Disaster Contexts**
---
### **Section 1: Definition**
**Physical Vulnerability**
- Difficulty accessing essential resources:
- Water
- Communication
- Hospitals
- Police stations
- Fire brigades
- Roads, bridges, and exits
- Poor construction planning leads to weak structures prone to disasters.
**Visual Idea**: Use an icon cluster of buildings, roads, and bridges with hazard symbols (flood, earthquake, fire).
---
### **Section 2: Key Factors Contributing to Physical Vulnerability**
1. **Population Density**
- Crowded areas = higher risk.
2. **Location and Remoteness**
- Rural or remote areas struggle with disaster response.
3. **Site and Infrastructure Design**
- Poorly built homes and facilities increase vulnerability.
4. **Proximity to Disaster Sources**
- Coastal areas, fault lines, or unstable hills are high-risk zones.
**Visual Idea**: Use a map highlighting a coastal area, fault line, and hilly terrain with icons to represent risks.
---
### **Section 3: Examples of Vulnerable Areas**
- Coastal regions → Tsunamis & storms
- Fault lines → Earthquakes
- Unstable hills → Landslides
**Visual Idea**: A segmented illustration showing each type of area with relevant disaster icons.
---
### **Section 4: Takeaway**
- Strengthening infrastructure and improving urban planning reduce physical vulnerability.
- Awareness and preparedness are crucial.
**Visual Idea**: A checklist icon with action points, paired with a strong message like *"Prepare. Plan. Protect."*
