Vulnerability 068
Vulnerability 068 :
Vulnerability, therefore, is a human-induced situation that results from public policy and resource availability/distribution, and it is the root cause of many disaster impacts. Indeed, research demonstrates that marginalized groups invariably suffer most in disasters. Higher levels of vulnerability are correlated with higher levels of poverty, with the politically disenfranchised, and with those excluded from the mainstream of society. (Chakraborty et al., 2005)
