主 题:Disaster preparedness Mobile homes Social-ecological model Vulnerability
摘 要:In South Florida there are several social and logistical challenges to surveying and advocating for mobile home residents regarding vulnerability to natural hazards such as sea level rise and *** residents have consequently been understudied despite historically exhibiting higher vulnerability and lower *** exploratory study uses a social-ecological framework to highlight individual-,community-,and institutional-level challenges and research gaps encountered when working with mobile home *** observations represent a longer-term opportunity to further refine our understanding of natural hazard vulnerability,build increased resilience among vulnerable populations,and improve health equity in South Florida and beyond.
