informants.• Observing only one side of a situation or problem
and not getting the total picture of the community• Developing high expectations amongst the people• Chances of overlooking and avoiding the invisible
aspect• Participation of a few or lack of representation of all
sections, especially those who are vulnerable and/or marginalised
The tools and techniques of community risk assessment• Vulnerability and
Capacity Analysis (VCA) through Inter Personal Communication and FGDs (individual and family vulnerability)
