MARO Monthly March 2024 Newsletter: Vulnerable Populations

Vulnerable populations require additional more tailored support which requires careful preparation and planning by emergency managers. It is critical emergency management personnel understand how to meet the needs of a community and utilize a multifaceted approach to meet said needs. This can be accomplished by calling upon professionals from the public, private, and civic center. Whole community integration allows for stronger mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery efforts from hazards. (FEMA, 2024)
