Hello, I am doing a disaster plan about natural disaster (wildfire) but the professor is asking me to be more especific in the targed population, she told me: "Your disaster plan is thorough and looks good, and I would only offer one suggestion. In the context of your chosen natural disaster, it's important to consider which vulnerable populations will be most affected. For instance, in an earthquake: People with limited mobility: Individuals who rely on wheelchairs, walkers, or have difficulty moving quickly may struggle to evacuate or find safe shelter during the tremors. Elderly individuals: Seniors may face challenges with mobility and may require assistance to evacuate quickly. They are also more susceptible to injuries from falls or structural collapses". My questions is, which one would be the target population?   Thank you in advance!
