It argues that the concepts and theories driving development and implementation of vulnerability assessment tools are related to their utility.  The review concludes that socio-geographic scale is a key issue, and challenge.  It analyses three vulnerability assessment (VA) methods, using Ethiopia as a case study.  Facing the challenges of vulnerability assessment and early warning requires providing accurate information at the required scale, useful for multiple decision-makers within realistic institutional capacities. - Reproduced  aFood supply  aDowning, Thomas E.  aDisasters
