Social vulnerability refers to the susceptibility of certain groups or communities to harm during adverse events, such as natural disasters, economic downturns, or public health crises. Factors contributing to social vulnerability include poverty, lack of access to healthcare, limited education, and social isolation. These elements can hinder a community's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from such events. Communities with high social vulnerability often face greater challenges in accessing resources and support. For instance, individuals living in areas with inadequate infrastructure or limited transportation options may struggle to evacuate during emergencies. Understanding social vulnerability helps policymakers and organizations develop targeted interventions to assist those most at risk, ultimately promoting resilience and equity in society.
