Egress with Social Vulnerability

Analysis based on H3 layers (h3 level 9 hexagons with at least one building inside a hexagon) which offers information about how is the egress in the CO-WRA territory based on the following variables:

  • Buildings

  • Roads

  • Population

Egress was defined as road availability considering the evacuation potential of a surrounding population with major and minor roads nearby.  In addition, the ability of the population to evacuate was not considered equal. Basic socio-demographic and economic characteristics of the population were considered, namely:

  • Senior population ratio (percent of population over 65 years of age)

  • Poverty ratio (percent of population below the poverty line)

  • Disability ratio (percent of the population with limiting disabilities
