美国人口的社会脆弱性在社会群体之间或不同地区之间并不均匀分布。一些地区可能比其他地区更容易受到危害的影响，这取决于居住在这些地区的居民的特点。正如我们在卡特里娜飓风中看到的那样，当再加上居住在飓风海岸等高风险地区时，不同的脆弱性可能会导致灾难性的后果。社会脆弱性的地理差异也要求采取不同的缓解、反应后和恢复行动。鉴于未来社会脆弱性的时间和空间变化，一刀切的备灾、应对、恢复和缓解办法在减少脆弱性或提高当地对灾害的复原力方面可能是最不有效的。
The social vulnerability of the American population is not evenly distributed among social groups or between places. Some regions may be more susceptible to the impacts of hazards than other places based on the characteristics of the people residing within them. As we saw with Hurricane Katrina, when coupled with residencies in high-risk areas such as the hurricane coasts, differential vulnerabilities can lead to catastrophic results. The geographic discrepancies in social vulnerability also necessitate different mitigation, post-response, and recovery actions. Given temporal and spatial changes in soci al vulnerability in the future, a one-size-fits-all approach to preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation may be the least effective in reducing vulnerability or improving local resilience to hazards.
