Dear authors,

I kindly acknowledge the improvements you made with respect to the manuscript, as does the referee.
There are, however, still some technical issues that should be solved prior to acceptance.

Please see the comments below, once technical corrections will be made, I will accept your work for final publication.

Kind regards, Sven Fuchs (Editor NHESS)


I really appreciate the efforts made by the authors in improving their manuscript. The reasoning behind their vulnerability and economic loss models is now much easier to follow.

Some minor things: fig 5 has greatly improved, only the photo of the house on the right hand side was clearer (less dark) in the first iteration of the manuscript. Fig 9 could benefit from making the 1-3 better visible and maybe move the legend outside of the map. A minor thing in fig 12: maybe adjust the labels of 12 a and b from boxes to lines.
