Baseline Indicators

 

​

​

The Baseline Indicators comprise general or baseline information for each community. Absolute values are added in response to each baseline indicator and the results do not directly contribute to the vulnerability score for each community in the NVRI Tool. The Baseline indicators are useful for determining the extent or percentile coverage in relation to a physical, economic, environmental or social indicator. E.g. # of rivers in the community (baseline) = 5 rivers, # rivers that have flooded sections of the community in the last 10 years (environment) = 3.
