How can social capital indicators improve local risk prioritization?

While physical exposure and economic vulnerability are standard inputs in risk assessments, social capital—such as trust networks, community cohesion, and civic participation—plays a critical yet underutilized role in determining local resilience. This question explores how social capital indicators can be formally integrated into disaster risk prioritization frameworks to more accurately reflect adaptive capacity at the community level. Contributions may include quantitative and qualitative metrics, data collection methodologies, integration with early warning systems, and policy applications for local governments, humanitarian actors, and multilateral institutions.
