Abstract
Most existing disaster vulnerability indicators only emphasized economic and social vulnerability. Important underlying health risks such as non-communicable disease are not included in common included in vulnerability measures. There is a need of the development of an integrated health vulnerability index and how the proposed vulnerability index may be incorporated into an all-hazard-based disaster risk index. In China, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has led to the interest of advancing the development and tracking of such scientific tools to enable disaster risk reduction initiatives. The author team has attempted to identify the relevant health risks indicators to support disaster risk map development.
