This refers to the responsiveness of a community, land use activity or a natural system to its physical location. This includes the proximity to low lying coastal areas and the overall topography.
As part of this regional vulnerability assessment social, economic and environmental sensitivity have been modelled and mapped to provide an indication of areas with the greatest sensitivity across the Region. By examining the sensitivity it allows regional stakeholders to identify important tolerances, trigger points and thresholds across the Region.
