Dear authors,

two of the referees just delivered their comments on your manuscript published in NHESSD, and as you may have seen both of the comments raise some similar questions. This was already extensively addressed in your Author Comments which were published alongside with the referee comments.
I kindly would like to ask you to consider these comments as well as your answers once you are finalizing your revised version, which in principal seems publishable in NHESS. Therefore I initiated the revision accordingly.
Moreover, since you submitted your contribution to the Special Issue on “Resilience and vulnerability assessments in natural hazards and risk analysis” I would like to recommend to you to include some of the aspects also in your revised Conclusion/discussion section. Therefore, we explicitly asked the tentative authors in the outline to “summarize the assessment of different types of vulnerabilities (e.g. social, personal, structural, economic, political, environmental) and resilience and to present applications to different natural hazards. The main focus is to present multiple strategies based on developments from different disciplines and to discuss these according to similarities, but also differences.” Since the role of vulnerability and resilience assessment within risk analysis is of particular importance, I am sure that your contribution will fit to these needs.
I am looking forward to receiving your revised manuscript.
Best regards,

Sven Fuchs
NHESS Editor

Dear authors,

I received the comments of both of the previous referees, which are in general very good and encouraging. I kindly would like to ask you to perform the small corrections suggested by both of them when preparing your final version (ready for publication in NHESS - so please go through your manuscript once again very carefully for a final check).

Thanks for all your patience during the review process, and kind regards, Sven Fuchs
