Sectors of Society that are more vulnerable to disaster

Answer 33

❑Demographic factors ❑Socio - economic factors ❑Community Preparedness ❑Dealing with the after-effects

Question 34

Demographic factors (2)

Answer 34

● Population density – the more dense the population, the more efficient a response should be, considering the number of people that might be affected by a disaster. ● Age of population – very old and very young populations are less mobile and able to respond to hazard events well
