  18. “Vulnerability” • Physical disability • Cognitive disability • Language barrier (e.g., English, literacy) • Elderly or children • Conditional impairments • Mental noise • Environmental barriers • Trust • Knowledge barriers

  19. Preparedness Paradigm Shift • Many will be “vulnerable” in an emergency • Specialized services deters those with “special needs” • Specialized preparedness is unsustainable for local health
