This chapter presents a framework for assessing the financial vulnerability of local governments (LGs) in the context of global pandemic crises, drawing upon theoretical concepts and definitions from scholarly literature. The concept of vulnerability within LGs is explored through various lenses, with an emphasis on its significance in the face of unforeseen financial shocks and economic downturns. Building upon prior research, which establishes financial vulnerability as a component of overall financial resilience, this chapter delves into the nuances of its conceptualization and operationalization. By comparing pre-pandemic and post-pandemic scenarios, the framework seeks to analyze the multifaceted sources of LG financial vulnerability, offering insights into the challenges and strategies for enhancing resilience in local governance amidst crisis situations.
