Abstract

Risk calculation as a function of probability and magnitude of consequences is an important step in technological risk management. Taking into account the importance of the local communities' role in Emergency Response Plans, it appears that vulnerability should be an important new factor in the technological risk formula. The paper presents a case study for the improvement of technological risk calculation taking vulnerability into account.
