Social Vulnerability: Overview and Analysis
3 November 2016
Ms. Susan Durden and Dr. Seth Cohen, both with the Institute for Water Resources, provided a review of the "Other Social
Effects" account and described socially vulnerable populations and factors that make them vulnerable during an flood or storm
event. Dr. Cohen provided an overview of the IWR primer on social vulnerability entitled "Identification and Engagement of
Socially Vulnerable Populations in the USACE Decision Making Process." Ms. Durden shared information on the Social
Vulnerability Index Explorer (SOVI-X), a tool that performs social vulnerability analyses of populations at risk under with and
without project conditions.
