Review: The aim of the CVCA model presented in this document is to help emergency managers and municipal planners to better understand and be able to meet the needs of their vulnerable populations, particularly in an emergency situation. It focuses on the population of a community with the objective of answering three questions: who are the community's most vulnerable, where do they generally reside, and what is their capacity to respond or recover? The model is based on an 18 step process. First the model proposes a planning team that gathers up-to-date information according to set parameters. The team can then define and map the population, as well as the high-density and high-risk areas of the municipality. The characteristics of the most vulnerable groups are then superimposed over the operational map in order to identify needs, expectations, and priorities to be considered during an emergency.
