Alternative Conceptualizations of Social Vulnerability and Resilience

Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Interlocken B

Social vulnerability mapping using census data is not very useful when it comes to evacuation, sheltering, relief, and recovery support. Also, the "place" model of social vulnerability assumes that social vulnerability is intrinsic to people, groups, or situations and does not account for interactions between people and their environment. This session will discuss novel conceptualizations of social vulnerability and resilience that might address these problems.
