Q & A
What is the focus of Module 2 in this presentation?
-Module 2 focuses on social vulnerability indices (SVI) for the state of Illinois and different counties within the state, with a particular emphasis on how these indices affect emergency preparedness and management for community health workers.
What is the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) according to the CDC?
-The Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) is a tool created by the CDC that measures the degree to which a community exhibits certain social conditions, such as high poverty, low vehicle access, and crowded households, which may affect its ability to prevent human suffering and financial loss in a disaster.
How can the SVI be used in emergency preparedness?
-The SVI can help communities in emergency preparedness by identifying areas that need more planning, estimating the type and amount of supplies needed (like food, water, and shelter), and determining how many emergency personnel and resources are necessary to assist vulnerable populations.
What four categories are used in the SVI to assess social vulnerability?
-The four categories used in the SVI to assess social vulnerability are: 1) socioeconomic status, 2) household characteristics, 3) racial and ethnic minority status, and 4) housing type and transportation.
How is the SVI score interpreted on a scale of 0 to 1?
-An SVI score of 0 indicates low vulnerability, meaning the community is well-prepared with many resources. A score of 1 indicates high vulnerability, meaning the community has fewer resources and a higher concentration of social vulnerability factors.
What does the distribution of the SVI scores across Illinois counties suggest?
-The distribution of SVI scores across Illinois counties is fairly even, making it difficult to apply a broad emergency preparedness plan across the entire state. Instead, emergency preparedness needs to be tailored to individual counties based on their specific vulnerabilities.
Which areas of Illinois show high social vulnerability according to the SVI maps?
-Southern Illinois and parts of the Chicago region show high social vulnerability based on the SVI maps, particularly in socioeconomic status and household characteristics.
What role do community health workers play in emergency preparedness and recovery?
-Community health workers play a crucial role in emergency preparedness and recovery by understanding the unique needs of their clients and communities, ensuring proper planning, and advocating for inclusive recovery efforts, particularly for vulnerable populations.
What is the World Institute on Disabilities' approach to emergency planning?
-The World Institute on Disabilities advocates for inclusive emergency planning that considers the needs of individuals with disabilities. Their toolkit emphasizes equal access, effective communication, integration, and self-determination in emergency preparedness.
Why is the principle of 'Nothing about us without us' important in emergency preparedness?
-'Nothing about us without us' highlights the importance of involving communities, especially those who are vulnerable, in making decisions about their own emergency preparedness. This ensures that plans are inclusive, effective, and consider the specific needs of the populations being served.

👋 Introduction to Emergency Preparedness for Community Health Workers
Jennifer Harris, a doctoral student in public health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, introduces module 2 of a series on emergency preparedness for community health workers. This module focuses on social vulnerability indices (SVI) for Illinois, following the first module on hazard vulnerability analysis. Jennifer explains the importance of social vulnerability in emergency preparedness, referencing the impacts of Hurricane Katrina as an example of how lack of transportation, housing, and resources can exacerbate vulnerability in natural disasters.
📊 Understanding the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI)
The CDC's Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) is explained as a tool to assess the degree to which a community is socially vulnerable, considering factors like poverty, access to transportation, and crowded households. Jennifer outlines how this index can aid in emergency planning by identifying resource needs, such as food, water, shelter, and personnel, and ensuring the inclusion of vulnerable populations like the elderly, non-English speakers, and those without transportation. This tool also helps in planning evacuation and post-emergency recovery efforts.
🌍 Socioeconomic Factors in Emergency Planning
This section provides a deep dive into the CDC’s four main categories used in the SVI: socioeconomic status, household characteristics, racial/ethnic minority status, and housing/transportation. Each category involves multiple factors like poverty levels, unemployment, housing costs, education, and access to health insurance. Jennifer explains how these categories contribute to assessing community vulnerability. Using Illinois as an example, she illustrates how individual counties' vulnerability levels can differ and emphasizes the need for localized emergency preparedness plans.
🗺️ Illinois's Social Vulnerability Distribution
This section analyzes the distribution of social vulnerability across Illinois, which has 102 counties. Jennifer explains that SVI scores range from 0 (low vulnerability) to 1 (high vulnerability), and Illinois counties are evenly distributed across this range. She highlights that emergency planning must consider the unique vulnerability of each county rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach at the state level. A map from the CDC's website allows users to visualize the vulnerability of specific counties based on different criteria.
🏠 Socioeconomic and Household Characteristics Across Illinois
Jennifer provides an overview of Illinois's map, focusing on socioeconomic status and household characteristics. Southern Illinois and areas around Chicago show higher vulnerability due to factors like poverty, household burden, and lack of health insurance. Household characteristics such as single-parent households, aging populations, and multigenerational families are shown to contribute to higher vulnerability in certain areas of the state. The analysis emphasizes the importance of considering these factors in emergency preparedness.
👥 Racial and Ethnic Minority Vulnerability
This section delves into the racial and ethnic minority status across Illinois. Using census data, the CDC examines the demographic composition of each county. Counties in Northern Illinois, including Chicago, show a higher population of racial and ethnic minorities, making them more socially vulnerable. Jennifer underscores the importance of addressing the specific needs of minority populations in emergency management planning to reduce their vulnerability during disasters.
🏠 Housing and Transportation Challenges in Illinois
Jennifer discusses housing types and transportation in Illinois, noting the wide distribution of vulnerability across the state. Factors like mobile homes, group homes, and the ratio of renters to homeowners are examined. These factors are critical in disaster situations such as floods, tornadoes, or extreme temperatures, highlighting the importance of accessible housing and transportation in emergency preparedness. She also encourages the use of the CDC's interactive map for further exploration.
📉 Drilling Down into County-Level Vulnerability: Jefferson County
Focusing on Jefferson County in Southern Illinois, Jennifer demonstrates how to use the CDC’s tools to assess vulnerability at the county level. With an SVI score of 0.96 (high vulnerability), she explains the specific factors contributing to this score, including socioeconomic status, household characteristics, racial/ethnic minority status, and housing/transportation. This county-level analysis illustrates how emergency preparedness can be tailored to meet local needs effectively.
🧰 The World Institute on Disabilities Toolkit
Jennifer introduces the World Institute on Disabilities' toolkit, which offers a comprehensive approach to emergency preparedness for individuals with disabilities. While the toolkit is aimed at people with disabilities, Jennifer highlights that its principles—such as equal access, effective communication, and integration—apply to all populations. The toolkit emphasizes the need for inclusive planning, ensuring that all community members, especially those with disabilities, are considered in disaster preparedness efforts.
📋 Five Key Areas in Disability-Inclusive Emergency Planning
This section outlines the five areas covered by the World Institute on Disabilities toolkit: community resilience, incident management, information management, countermeasures, and surge management. Jennifer explains how community health workers can use these principles to ensure that emergency preparedness plans are inclusive of people with disabilities, with special attention to accessibility, communication, and mental health support during and after disasters.
🏠 Housing and Communication Challenges for People with Disabilities
Jennifer details the appendices of the World Institute on Disabilities toolkit, which provide guidance on post-disaster housing for people with disabilities, inclusive sheltering-in-place, and effective communication. She stresses the importance of using appropriate language and communication methods during emergencies, ensuring that all members of the community, including those with disabilities, understand the instructions and have the necessary resources to stay safe.
💡 Final Thoughts on Social Vulnerability and Emergency Preparedness
In her conclusion, Jennifer reiterates the importance of identifying social vulnerabilities in communities to enhance emergency preparedness. By combining the SVI with hazard vulnerability assessments, community health workers can better understand the specific needs of their communities and help develop tailored emergency plans. She emphasizes that the recovery phase is just as critical as preparedness, and having this information ensures a smoother recovery process for vulnerable populations.

Highlights
Introduction of Jennifer Harris, a doctorate student in public health at the University of Nebraska, Medical Center, presenting module 2 on emergency preparedness and management for community health workers.
The Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) is a tool by the CDC used to assess community vulnerability in emergency preparedness and response, considering factors like poverty, vehicle access, and crowded households.
Module focuses on the application of the SVI in emergency preparedness, highlighting how it can help estimate the type and amount of supplies needed, including food, water, and emergency shelter.
The presentation emphasizes that social vulnerability played a crucial role in exacerbating the effects of Hurricane Katrina, showcasing how transportation, housing, and resources were significant challenges.
SVI can assist communities in planning for emergency personnel, creating evacuation plans, and identifying populations needing special attention, such as those without transportation or those with language barriers.
The module discusses the four key SVI categories: socioeconomic status, household characteristics, racial and ethnic minority status, and housing type and transportation.
The SVI analysis of Illinois reveals that vulnerability is unevenly distributed, with 23 counties having low vulnerability and 13 counties scoring very high, highlighting the need for localized emergency planning.
Interactive CDC SVI maps allow users to assess vulnerabilities at state, county, or national levels, useful for community health workers to tailor preparedness plans.
Household characteristics like single-parent households and households with non-English speakers are key factors influencing vulnerability.
The module includes a specific example of Jefferson County, Illinois, which has a high vulnerability score of 0.96, emphasizing the need for individualized county-level emergency planning.
The World Institute on Disabilities' Public Health Emergency Planning Toolkit is introduced as a resource to ensure inclusive emergency preparedness for people with disabilities.
The principles of inclusion, such as equal access, effective communication, and self-determination, are critical in ensuring all populations are considered in emergency preparedness.
"Nothing about us without us"—a quote from the toolkit—stresses the importance of involving affected communities in planning their own preparedness strategies.
The module underscores the importance of clear and inclusive communication during emergencies, including accessible formats, interpreters, and appropriate language.
The toolkit also highlights post-disaster wellness checks and shelter-in-place strategies as crucial components of emergency management for vulnerable populations.
Transcripts
hello my name is Jennifer Harris and I
am a current doctorate and public health
student at the University of Nebraska
Medical Center and this presentation is
module 2 on emergency preparedness and
management for community health workers
the first module that we did was on the
hazard vulnerability analysis from the
state of Illinois the second module is
going to be over social vulnerability
indices for the state of Illinois and
different counties within the state we
will also focus on the world Institute
on disabilities public health emergency
planning toolkit
so social vulnerability index or svi is
a tool that the CDC has put out there
and we're going to go through this tool
for this module but first I want to put
a couple of pictures up here to just
illustrate what is social vulnerability
getting at in terms of Emergency
Management and preparedness these are
unfortunately pictures from the
Hurricane Katrina down in the New
Orleans area
and what you can see here is these
individuals were all impacted by social
vulnerability issues that we're going to
talk about there was lack of
Transportation there was lack of housing
there was a flood situation that bound
them to certain geographical areas they
were left without food or water for days
and so I wanted to use these pictures
just to illustrate that it hasn't been
that too far in our history where we
continue to see natural disasters
putting combined with our social
vulnerabilities into very precarious
situations and causing major public
health issues for our patients clients
and our communities that we live
so the definition of the social
vulnerability indices or svi according
to the CDC is the degree to which a
community exhibits certain social
conditions including High poverty low
percentage of vehicle access crowded
households and this may affect the
community's ability to prevent human
suffering and financial loss in the
event of a disaster these factors all
describe a community's social
vulnerability
the social vulnerability index can be
used to do several things in terms of
emergency preparedness and these are
actually very interesting components
that could be combined with what we had
talked about in module one the hazard
vulnerability assessment to take a look
at how a community can be prepared or
what they need to do so these svi tools
that we're going to go through in this
module can help a community look at what
they need to do for planning it can also
help to estimate the type and amount of
supplies that are needed such as food or
water shelter beds in a shelter
it can help decide how many personnel
emergency Personnel are going to be
needed to assist people
emergency shelter needs again how many
individuals and the supplies that go
into that these sbis can help create a
plan to evacuate people accounting for
those that don't have vehicles don't
have transportation maybe they're
elderly and they don't have Mobility
then there are individuals who do not
speak English we need to keep all of
these elements in our forethought when
we're planning for emergency
preparedness in our communities
as well as the support to recover
following an emergency and I think
that's a huge piece for community health
workers as well that we don't talk about
a lot but that recovery piece is
extremely crucial and we will talk about
that later in module three
so to start with the CDC social
vulnerability Index this is an overall
schematic that the CDC has posted so
what they are doing is taking a look at
four criteria socioeconomic status
household characteristics racial and
ethnic minority status and housing type
and transportation those four categories
are what get rolled up into an overall
vulnerability number so we'll take a
look at that but then to drill down on
each one of those four categories you
can see the elements that go into it so
for example socioeconomic status the
exact definition for these are they are
looking at within a County area and then
at a state we can drill down to the
county level but whatever geographic
area we are looking at the socioeconomic
status is looking at who lives below 150
percent of the poverty line how many
individuals are unemployed the housing
cost burden so when you get into urban
city cost of living versus rural
no high school diploma and no health
insurance so those five elements are all
rolled up into the socioeconomic status
and you can see down as we go down the
list here all of the elements that get
into it I have in the next couple of
slides Illinois's actual results and
we'll take a look at that
foreign
this is Illinois's overall social
vulnerability index distribution I know
this looks a little funny but I wanted
to explain it to you because I find it
very interesting what this means is
Illinois has 102 counties within our
state and they are evenly distributed
amongst the svi numbers so zero the SBI
number can go from zero to one zero
means there's very little vulnerability
they're very well prepared they have a
lot of resources a one means that they
are high vulnerability have very few
resources very dense population
with a lot of those social indices that
we just talked about so what is
interesting about this is it is starting
to show you that the state of Illinois
is actually pretty evenly distributed
which makes it difficult then from a
state perspective to say the entire
state is at risk or the entire state is
very well prepared with no issues
what this does is it's starting to show
you we have 23 counties that are between
a zero and a
0.22
vulnerability index which means very low
but as you watch this curve now we've
got 22 22 22 and then we have 13. and
these 13 are at the highest most highest
vulnerability from a 0.88 to a 1.1 which
means extremely vulnerable but what this
does tell us is it's very unique to the
county so I think it's difficult to take
a look at the state of Illinois and just
say broad brush statements and plans in
terms of emergency preparedness and
management for each County it needs to
be individualized
so this is our map of the state of
Illinois and what this is showing you is
the CDC this is their website and this
is their Index this is an interactive
tool that you can go onto their website
and play around with so you can do a
drop down menu here for overall social
vulnerability we will go through each
one of those breakdown categories that
we discussed earlier
but this is the overall
map transparency right here the lighter
color is zero the darker color is a one
or higher so what you can see on the
state of Illinois map here is anywhere
that you see white is indicating that
that county has a very low social
vulnerability indices which means
they're not at tremendous risk or have
unique situations that need to be taken
a look at or populations that are at
risk because of lack of resources where
you start to see the darker blue colors
is where there's a high vulnerability
index and so a lot more needs to be
drilled down onto those and I am going
to show you each of the four categories
according to the state of Illinois map
on the next few slides and at the end
I'm going to pick one County so we can
drill down and you can see what that
looks like too but if you're a community
health worker working in any of these
counties or you're interested this is a
great tool to go out to the website and
click on your county to see how the
demographic information is showing what
the vulnerabilities are
foreign
so for socioeconomic status here these
are the categories that we're taking a
look at and again you can see the wider
color means very little of social
vulnerability indices the darker color
means they're at high vulnerability so
this is that socioeconomic status
poverty line
household burden no health insurance so
again you can start to see that southern
Illinois has a lot of the dark greens up
in the Chicago region and again on our
borders
for household characteristics so this is
taking a look at single parents English
as a second language aging parents that
live multi-generational households so
it's taking a look at that as well the
darker colors show more vulnerability
again you can see that it starts to
congregate a little bit in Southern
Illinois and along the Indiana border
and up towards Northern Illinois as well
towards the Wisconsin and Iowa border
foreign
in terms of racial and ethnic minority
status this is taking a look at the
demographic information on Race by
County if there's two or more race they
look at the Census Data so they're using
pure census data so you can see again
the darker colors there's a high
minority and racial population in the
northern part of the state in Chicago
again in Central Illinois and just a
little bit down towards the St Louis
area
and then for housing type and
transportation this is looking at group
homes mobile homes rent versus own and
again you can see there's quite a
distribution across the state of
Illinois in terms of housing it's a
little bit more scattered not as
congregated in certain regions but this
is important certainly important
information to know about and think
about when we're talking about natural
disasters for example
floods tornadoes cold extreme cold
extreme heat so this is all interesting
information to take a look at if you
have the ability to get access to it it
again is on a web browser it's very easy
from CDC atsdr again this is a very
interactive map where you can switch
between Statewide Nationwide you can
pick your state and you can look at
different map features
this next slide is a perfect example of
drilling down to the county level so I
just picked one County in Southern
Illinois Jefferson and I took some
screenshots here so you could see what
it looks like when you want to drill
down to the individual counties
the Statewide overall SBI score for
Jefferson County is 0.96 so they're
relatively High almost near that one
which is the highest vulnerability in
terms of their social vulnerable
vulnerability index
um and what you can see here is on the
right hand side I listed out each one of
their four categories so socioeconomic
household racial and ethnic and
household and transportation
and I listed what the scores were based
on that criteria for socioeconomic
status they're scoring 0.9 household
characteristics is 0.87 racial and
ethnic is 0.69 and household and
transportation is 0.96 so again all of
those numbers when they are average
together came up to this 0.96 they
weight them and they score them a little
bit differently based on the population
and so you can take a look and see how
that scored again this is great
information just to have and be aware of
especially if you're going to be working
in a newer Community if there's been
changes to your community and you're
interested to see how it's changing over
time these are great great information
to be able to take a look at your social
vulnerabilities and the populations
you're dealing with again as chws I know
this is almost second hand for you you
know your clients you know your patients
um you know the culture the community
so again some of this may just be data
backing up which you already know and
what you're already experiencing but it
helps paint the picture and tell the
story when you're working with your
clients on individualized emergency
preparedness and why it's so important
the world Institute on disabilities
developed a tool kit and this toolkit is
wonderful I've put the website right
here so you can go to that it's a
relatively short document I'd say about
20 pages and it's really really good
because although it's it's geared and
it's written towards individuals with
disabilities the fact is that one in
four people in the United States live
with a disability so it's at any given
point 25 percent of our population by
definition has a disability but what I
like about this document and the
approach is it shouldn't matter and we
should be doing emergency preparedness
and planning to be all-inclusive
regardless of a disaster
excuse me regardless of having a
disability or
um these principles apply to the total
population of humankind
um and so I put these up here the
principles of inclusion and I just
really like these because it's equal
access effective communication
integration
self-determination program modifications
and physical access and the world
Institute of disabilities put this
together and I loved this quote right
here which is nothing about us without
us
and I strongly believe that that applies
to Public Health in general
um the communities and the people that
we are serving and helping
um plans should not be made without
their input it's their lives their
livelihood
um it's their homes it's their
communities and so they should be
included in making their own decisions
about how they want to be prepared and
how they want to be any resources they
may need so I think this is a great
document I'm going to go to this next
slide which outlines the document a
little bit they had five sections where
they talk about different all hazards
approach the all hazards approach goes
back to the hazard vulnerability
assessment we talked about in module one
which is where you're looking at all of
your hazards so all of your priority
hazards and how do we prepare for them
all in general and so when you you hear
the phrase all hazards that's what it
means and so they're taking a look at
these five things from an all hazards of
approach Community resilience are we
identifying needs in advance and
pre-positioning resources are we doing
canvassing and wellness checks post a
disaster so again even though an
individual family or client may not have
been necessarily directly impacted by
something are we doing Wellness checks
afterwards to make sure that they have
everything they need
Incident Management is the second one
developing stakeholder group involvement
as we talked about you know in that
pre-planning piece and I think community
health workers are an excellent liaison
for the clients and the patients that we
work with to Advocate as we work with
different entities within the community
to make sure that their needs are met in
the planning stages ahead of time
Information Management we're going to
talk about this a little bit in the next
module as well but identifying multiple
formats for communication and
inclusionary messaging this is so
important and again I know community
health workers are very aware of using
multiple communication methods
again we'll talk about that in module
three but this uh this toolkit does
include that counter measure measures
and mitigation you know again do we have
centralized distribution centers if
there's food water that are Ada
accessible
are they appropriate for people who have
Vision limitations it gets back into
that information management again with
communication large print small print
um you know the colors we use when we're
making posters or Flyers it matters and
so there's all these elements to look
into
and then surge management how will those
with disabilities be triaged will there
be assessments conducted what about
mental health post-disaster all of these
elements are crucial and with the recent
covid-19 pandemic and everything we
experienced
um I think it's even more timely that we
make sure before anything else is to
happen again that we've got all of these
covered within surge management they're
looking at things such as mass care
services medical surge Mass fatality so
again those have traditionally been the
hospital's responsibility or health care
services but we all saw the stress and
the strain they underwent during the
covid pandemic and sometimes they're not
able to handle all of that so what can
we do in our communities or at home in
order to preserve life and help
everybody in that situation
the last slide here is the world
Institute on disabilities toolkit these
are the appendices that they have in
their toolkit and I just wanted to list
them out again a is post-disaster
housing planning for people with
disabilities so this goes through and
talks about things such as are they on
Home Medical Equipment that needs to be
plugged into an outlet if it was a flood
situation is there an outlet that's at
least 18 inches off the floor so that it
doesn't
um short circuit or lose power
one little example
um appendix B guidance for inclusive
Sheltering in place so how do we make
sure those that cannot evacuate don't
want to evacuate how do we make sure
that they are Sheltering in place in the
safest way possible and then appendix C
is going through that appropriate and
inclusionary language for effective
communication that I just talked about
previously but I thought it was
important to point out they do they they
do go into things such as word choice so
we in public health or in healthcare
sometimes we use words such as ambulate
the layperson may not know what that
means we need to use the word walk
instead of ambulate
um phrases when we say shelter in place
that means stay at home do does
everybody understand what that means so
maybe we should use the phrase stay in
your home instead of shelter in place
um again we talked about colors font
sizing spacing large print and then
dissemination
um I think again this is communication
is always an opportunity for improvement
during disaster situations
but we need to be cognizant that we need
to you know win appropriate make
overhead announcements captions on TV
pictures within pictures sometimes
describe things text
language interpreters sign language
interpreters we need to keep all of
these things in mind as we're
communicating pre during and post a
disaster or emergency situation
so in summary
um these were the tools to identify
social vulnerabilities of the
populations in your geographical area
again we went through the state of
Illinois's map from the CDC website and
you can drill down to individual
counties as well and combining these
social vulnerabilities with the hazards
and risks that we talked about in module
one from the hva I believe helps to do
individualized preparedness and
identifying needs and plans that need to
be made for all populations within our
communities but I think especially
important information to have as
community health workers so that we can
identify and help everybody risk assess
what may be their unique situation
because you know them they know
themselves the best and you know their
situation but if you have this
information to help
plan prepare mitigate and move forward
through an emergency situation recovery
will be much easier also thank you for
taking the time to listen to this module
we are going to move on to module three
where we are going to talk about the
four phases of disaster management thank
you
