The Composite Vulnerability Index (H) of the Housing Stock in a particular CD Block has been<br />

calculated taking into account the vulnerability indexes for both cyclonic effects <strong>and</strong> inundation<br />

effects [Refer Table 5-1 <strong>and</strong> Figure 5-1]. The functional form specified for aggregation has tried to<br />

capture both the additive effects as well as multiplicative effects of individual vulnerability indexes. It<br />

is tautological to mention that, a particular community vulnerable with respect to parameter A as well<br />

as B is more vulnerable compared to combined vulnerability of communities only vulnerable to<br />

parameter A or B. For example, degree of disability of a person who has lost his arm <strong>and</strong> leg both is<br />

more than added disability of one who has lost only his arm <strong>and</strong> one who has lost his leg.<br />
