The Environment Indicators comprise household, community and sector level datasets that measure the household/community capacity to respond to disasters based on environmental factors that influence vulnerability. The weighted values for each indicator is summated then added to a formulae that calculates the overall environment vulnerability score for the community which accounts for 25% of the total vulnerability score and rank for the community. The following environment indicators are included in the NVRI.
