Info

The integration of the needs and capacities of high-risk groups in emergency management is evaluated through the use of an electronic survey of 48 emergency management agencies and 89 voluntary organizations that serve high-risk populations. Gaps in meeting the needs of highrisk populations; shortcomings in resources and relationships amongst emergency management and voluntary sector organizations; and suggested best practices are identified. The importance of including representatives for, and advocates of, high-risk populations in emergency management planning is highlighted. While the results of the survey cannot be generalized to all emergency management and voluntary organizations in Canada, the types of limitations and best practices identified are instructive. 84
Appendix B: Table of Indicators and Supporting Sources This table lists the indicators chosen for the index of social vulnerability, and studies that support the inclusion of each indicator. In some cases, studies cited may suggest the use of a closely related indicator, rather than the exact indicator chosen. For example, a study that suggests that race and ethnicity are significant factors due to language and cultural barriers is cited as supporting the inclusion of knowledge of Canada’s official languages as an indicator of social vulnerability; a study that notes that both seniors and persons living alone are at higher risk would be cited as supporting the inclusion of seniors living alone.
