When some kind of humanitarian disaster happens, one question comes to our mind. Would it have been possible to avoid the disaster? Other questions also seem reasonable: would it have been possible lighten the consequences?, would the disaster have been so destructive in a developed zone? The vulnerability concept arises related to these questions, as an approach of a disaster effects on populations and territories with different characteristics. Along this work, we develop a methodology to measure the vulnerability concept. This methodology is applied to the Mitch hurricane in Honduras case.
