摘要

During an emergency, material and physical resources are stretched thin and, often, the needs of those who most need help, namely the vulnerable populations, are left unmet. Vulnerable populations can be defined broadly to include those who are not able to access and use the standard resources offered in disaster preparedness and planning, response, and recovery. Age, class, race, poverty, language, and a host of other social, cultural, economic, and psychological factors may be relevant depending on the nature of the emergency. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina provided one illustration of the unique characteristics and vulnerabilities of specific populations in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. The storm most directly struck Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, the poorest states in the country. Almost 5,000 children were separated from their families. Approximately 75% of all deaths in New Orleans, Louisiana, occurred among the elderly, who represented only 15% of the city's total population before the storm. Of nearly 240 shelters surveyed in the region, less than 30% had access to American Sign Language interpreters, leaving those who were deaf or hard of hearing with little or no access to vital information.
