Various methodologies and tools have been developed to assess the magnitude of risk, but since there are no commonly recognized and accepted criteria for this type of evaluation, the results that they yield often have discrepancies or are only partial, depending on the particular criteria used and the importance and values that are assigned to them. One system is based on indicators of disaster risk and disaster risk management. It employs a quantitative method to put a value on hazards, vulnerabilities, and risk, to help decision-makers to develop and propose effective risk management actions, taking macroeconomic, social, institutional, and technical realities into account.
