8. Vulnerable Villagers

There are people in nay village , who in an emergency, should be considered as potentially vulnerable and a priority for support and deployment of resources, these include

• The elderly who may not be mobile

• Those with disabilities- hearing, sight, physical, mobility

• Those with learning difficulties and impacted by mental health

• Those living alone

• Parents and others looking after very young children

• Pregnant women

• Those with existing commitments that may become unmanageable in an emergency

• Other?

Good neighbours generally are aware of these needs and would respond naturally.

However it is important to note that people may become vulnerable at any point and under different circumstances
