The first step in planning for those most at risk during an emergency is to identify the at-risk groups. This chapter provides examples of strategies used to identify vulnerable individuals and groups, compares definitions of at-risk groups, and offers pros and cons for the use of voluntary registries. At-risk groups will vary by jurisdiction, and the resources in this chapter include data sources that will help planners to locate and quantify such groups.
