The At-risk Populations eToolbox
In addition to a comprehensive resource guide, this eTool contains links to other resources that will help you develop your COIN plan to define, locate, and reach your at-risk populations in an emergency. Use the worksheet “Plan Components” to track your plans, ideas, and resources in a fillable PDF format.
The fillable PDF “Plan Components” form makes it easy to keep track of your at-risk populations COIN data. Just click in the field boxes for each entry and fill in the blanks with your own data. Add fields when you need them.
Download and print out a copy of the PDF workbook, “At-risk Populations Workbook To Define, Locate, and Reach Special, Vulnerable, and At-risk Populations in an Emergency.”
