The Vulnerable Population Profile Table provides a description of the vulnerable populations within the jurisdiction, consistent with the definition of vulnerable populations found in the PPHR glossary. The definition of vulnerable populations as found in the PPHR glossary is a range of residents who may not be able to safely access and use, or be equally accommodated by, the standard resources offered in disaster preparedness, relief, and recovery. This group includes at- risk individuals, which the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) defines as having additional needs in one or more of the following functional areas: communication, medical care, maintaining independence, supervision, and transportation. Individuals specifically recognized as at-risk include children, senior citizens, pregnant women, and individuals who may need additional response assistance, including those who have disabilities, live in institutionalized settings, are from diverse cultures, have limited English proficiency or are non-English speaking, are transportation disadvantaged, have chronic medical disorders, or have pharmacological dependency. This table was submitted as supporting evidence for Project Public Health Ready Goal 1: All-Hazards Preparedness Planning Community Preparedness.
