Reviewer 2 Report

- Minor changes in citation (i.e., in first page: Schroeder & Gefenas, 2009) pp..117)

- it would be interesting to have a definition of the Vulnerability, in the literature review. There is not a common universal definition on vulnerability, however different organizations, institutions, etc. have provided their own definition.

-  the research method is clearly defined, however could be improved, giving more details. For example, when and for how long the research took place.

- more info could be added in the "data analysis" regarding the six phases.

- just to clarify, is Portugal and Romania high - income countries?

- review title numbering

Reviewer 3 Report

The manuscript was clear and relevant for the field.  References were extensive.  This review is part of a broader project and this is evident in the charts and background research presented.  Minor grammatical errors were noted.  Recommended to place page numbers when referencing the 4 Tables.
