Vulnerable Populations and Social Equity in Disaster Preparedness

The importance of equity in emergency management is not a new concept. The Stafford Act

( requires FEMA assistance be delivered in an

equitable manner without discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, nationality, sex,

age, disability, language accessibility, or economic status.

Ensuring social equity in disaster preparedness remains a critical challenge for many emergency

management teams nationwide.

In recent years, the United States (U.S.) has been severely impacted by multiple large-scale

disasters. Multiple large and destructive hurricanes in 2017 and 2018 including Hurricanes

Harvey, Irma, Maria, Florence, and Michael led to the evacuation of millions of people. Fast-

moving wildfires in California including the October 2017 Northern California Wildfires and the

December 2017 Southern California Wildfires, along with the Mendocino Complex, Carr, Camp,

Hill, and Woolsey wildfires, led to the evacuation of thousands. Even with the rise in disasters,

many emergency management agencies remain unprepared to support all citizens in disasters,

mostly due to a lack of necessary resources assets. Although all citizens are impacted, those

populations affected by social factors, such as medical and physical disabilities, immigrant

status, language barriers, age, gender, and resources (lack of) are at higher risk (Nancy Aldrich,

William F. Benson, 2008). Lack of planning, consideration, inclusion are the main culprits.

Look at the chart below to identify data attached to vulnerable populations for California’s

largest cities. Take this data set into account when completing your assignment.

Mid-term Spring 2025

Defining Equity (Disaster Preparedness Lens):

Equity means that sociodemographic characteristics such as race, or gender, or age, or anything

else, predict the distribution of disaster aid to the extent that these things are related to the need

for aid. .1

Defining Vulnerable Population:

Any individual, group, or community whose circumstances create barriers to obtaining or

understanding information, or the ability to react as the general population. … Circumstances

that may create barriers include, but are not limited to age; physical, mental, emotional, or

cognitive status; culture; ethnicity; religion; language; citizenship; geography; or socioeconomic

status.2

Defining Social Dimensions

A cross-cutting theme that involves considering human, social, policy, and governance factors.

following:

Content of Communication/How things are communicated to various populations)
