In conducting a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment at the household level using a survey questionnaire, there is a need to ask participants how they characterize their experience of various hazards in terms of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Is there a set of categories for each of the factors of vulnerability?

Exposure is the degree to which people and the things they value could be exposed to climate variation or change; sensitivity is the degree to which they could be harmed by that exposure; and adaptive capacity is the degree to which they could mitigate the potential for harm by taking action to reduce exposure or sensitivity.
There are three dimensions of vulnerability to climate change: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity.
