hurricanes

Who are the vulnerable populations?

Certain groups are more vulnerable to the health impacts of hurricanes. These include the elderly, people with chronic illnesses, pregnant women, and low-income communities. These populations often lack the resources to evacuate or prepare adequately, making them more susceptible to the adverse health effects of hurricanes. Additionally, marginalized communities may have limited access to healthcare services even before a disaster strikes, compounding their vulnerability.
