VULKANO Results: Improving Disaster and Emergency Plans to Better Protect Vulnerable Groups
People with disabilities, children, the elderly, individuals with language barriers, and other population groups are particularly vulnerable during floods, heat waves, blackouts etc. and should, thus, receive special protection. The VULKANO research project, using selected best practice examples, provides strategies to achieve this and highlights areas where further action is needed. The aim is to better incorporate vulnerable groups into disaster and emergency plans at the local level.
