<br/><br/> Risk management, long focused on controlling hazards, is moving towards vulnerability reduction. This presupposes an accurate knowledge of vulnerability. This research, applicable to any place, proposes a methodology for vulnerability assessment on the basis of the conurbation of Lyon. The study is based on a decision support method that ranks the issues in order to deduce vulnerability functions using expert assessments. A specific view of risk is obtained from overlapping layers of hazards.
