Social vulnerability to natural hazards in Canada / M. Journeay, J.Z.K. Yip, C.L. Wagner, P. LeSueur, and T. Hobbs. : M183-2/8902E-PDF

"While we are exposed to the physical effects of natural hazard processes, certain groups within a community often bear a disproportionate share of the negative consequences when a disaster strikes. This study addresses questions of why some places and population groups in Canada are more vulnerable to natural hazard processes than others, who is most likely to bear the greatest burden of risk within a given community or region, and what are the underlying factors that disproportionally affect the capacities of individuals and groups to withstand, cope with, and recover from the impacts and downstream consequences of a disaster"--Abstract, page i.
