Risk is the probability that a hazard will turn into a disaster. Vulnerability and hazards are not dangerous, taken separately. But if they come together, they become a risk or, in other words, the probability that a disaster will happen.

Although we prefer not to dwell on the myriad of hazards that surround us, these risks shape many of our behaviors.
