Abstract
Vulnerability means a degree of reference object to withstand external or internal threats. The reference object can have human or material character. The paper will address to the reference object like a human character concretely the societal vulnerability due to a power failure in the railway station and the specific event will be described in the form of a case study. Each part of the railway network, whether it be a depot, a station, a terminal or others, is largely dependent on the supply of the electricity network to its functional elements in the system. To assess the vulnerability, it should be quantified using available methods. Adequate measures must be taken to reduce societal vulnerability.
Societal vulnerability can be quantified by social indicators with their special characteristics. In the paper was use socio structural, socio economic and socio urban indicators.
