Dear Dr Carlier

we have received now the comments of the reviewers as well as your very detailed author responses.
As you have seen, both of the referees have several comments that are similar, in particular with respect to (1) the definitions and use of wording [physical vs. social vulnerability], (2) the hazard types and scenarios used in your study, (3) the challenges of assessing physical vulnerability without hazard scenarios.
I explicitly acknowledge your response (author comments) submitted in the open discussion period, as well as the attached and revised manuscript (PCI.pdf) where I can clearly see the improvements envisaged for a resubmission.
Hence, I kindly ask you to undertake the necessary corrections, and to submit them together with a reply to the referees using the Copernicus system.
Moreover, I kindly would like to ask you to carefully check the reference section of your manuscript: to give two examples, in lines 631 f. volume and page numbers are incorrect (should be 82 Suppl. 1, p. 63-87, and in lines 636 f. the page numbers are missing (p. 165-180).
Moreover, I detected some doublettes in your attachment: lines 108 ff and 129 ff. are the same.
With respect to the introduction, lines 190 ff. you may also wish to refer to an article summarising the challengs of spatio-temporal dynamics in exposure of alpine communities [tourists vs. citizens]: Fuchs, S.; Keiler, M.; Sokratov, S. & A. Shnyparkov (2013): Spatiotemporal dynamics: the need for an innovative approach in mountain hazard risk management. Natural Hazards 68 (3). p. 1217-1241 (just a kind suggestion).
I am looking foreward to receiving your revised manuscript, which I will also circulate to the two referees for approval.

Kind regards and good success with your work,

Sven Fuchs (Editor NHESS)

Short summary

The objective of this research is to improve an index originally developed to assess physical consequences of a considered hazard, by including socio-economic characteristics of population information. Data from the French census and a survey on risk perception (questionnaires) were used to propose an index taking into account the three main phases of risk management: preparedness, crisis management and recovery.
