While the leading cause of morbidity in all the areas is headache/ fever, this cause isnon – informative since headache / fever are asymptomatic of other more serious diseases e.g.dengue fever, typhoid fever. The available data, however, did not indicate the diseasesassociated with the fever / headache symptoms. We assume (although a debatable point) thatall these cases referred to in the health centers with fever/ headache suffer from one of thediseases with flu-like symptoms.Table 2.

Auxiliary data from the PAG – ASA (2010) revealed that, in the last five years,massive flooding (unusual amount of rainfall) and periods of drought (high temperature348
E-International Scientific Research JournalISSN: 2094-1749 Volume: 2 Issue: 4, 2010coupled with low rainfall) occurred in the Subanen areas at least twice (2) so that estimates ofthe probability of climate change can be computed as figures over the last five years.The National Census and Statistics Office (NCSO-9., 2010) also provided informationin the population of Subanen as 2,100 as of 2009. Thus:It follows that an estimate of health risk due to the effects of climate for this sector is:RiskExposure. The computation for the estimate of exposure rate is simply:Exposure = P h = .1610 or 16.10%Coping. In order to estimate the coping mechanisms (in percentage) of the Subanen, weexamine the socio – demographic pursued characteristic that impact directly on their health andhealth case such as: (a) education, (b) age, and (c) financial stability.Hence, Health Vulnerability Index = 43.22% + 16.10% - 1.30% = 29%349
