Environmental Public Health Tracking: Populations and Vulnerabilities Data

Family draws using sidewalk chalk

Vulnerability is how susceptible you are to harm. It is the result of what resources are available to you and the challenges you face. Some populations are more likely to face vulnerabilities than others.

Vulnerabilities help predict health problems and your risk for certain diseases or of public health emergencies and your associated risks. They can also show how diseases develop and change over time and from one place to another.
