Journal of Risk ResearchThe future climate in the Nordic countries is expected to become "warmer, wetter, and wilder", and it is anticipated that this will cause more extreme weather events. Therefore, local authorities need to increase their ability to assess weather-related hazards such as floods, landslides, and storms, as well as people's sensitivity and capacity to cope with or adjust to such events. In this article, we present an integrated assessment of vulnerability to natural hazards, which incorporates both exposure and social vulnerability. An increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events may make local societies more exposed, but how these societies will change in the future may increase or decrease their vulnerability to extreme weather events. In our assessment, we screen places and rank them by their relative scores on exposure and vulnerability indices. We also design a web-based visualization toolViewExposed -which shows maps that reveal a considerable geographic variation in integrated vulnerability. ViewExposed makes it easy to identify the places with the highest integrated vulnerability, and it facilitates the understanding of the factors that make these places exposed and/or vulnerable. As empirical validation, we correlate the exposure indices with insurance claims due to natural damage. However, we also emphasize a dialogue with relevant stakeholders to ensure a participatory validation. Our top-down exposure and vulnerability assessment benefits from a participatory bottom-up assessment, which is crucial for such an assessment to be used to support decisions on where necessary adaptive and preventive measures to climate-change-related hazards should be carried out.
