Every community must prepare for and respond to hazardous events, whether a natural disaster like a tornado or a disease outbreak, wildland fire, or a human caused event such as a fire, explosion or harmful chemical spill. The degree to which a community exhibits certain social conditions, including high poverty, unemployment, age of citizens, percentage disable, or crowded households, may affect that community’s ability to prevent human suffering and financial loss in the event of disaster. These factors describe a community’s social vulnerability.
