Abstract

Social indicators are used to assess the vulnerability of communities and populations to natural hazards but there are complications and constraints in using these indicators, though many emergency managers and councils are using readily available indicators during emergencies. However, there is need for development of proper model, so that the relationship between a model of community vulnerability based on social and built structure indicators can be linked to awareness and preparedness.
